Review for Grand Victorian of Crystal Lake
The place was totally awesome. We had no worries about Mom safety with the employees you have there. They were very nice to my mother and made sure she was always taken care of. I can't thank [name removed] enough for helping me get all the stuff going. And Mom really likes [name removed]

Came for lunch and then took a tour. Very nice. Saw the studio apartment and others, plus the furnished one you can rent for a short term stay. All were very spacious. Previously, my neighbor stayed for a short time and was very pleased.

Very impressed with the facility! Lovely public area and rooms, excellent staff, fun activities. It’s difficult looking for a place for a loved one and even harder to make a decision. Grand Victorian made it easy!

During our initial visit & subsequent visits since, I consistently see residents greeting the staff in a warm & friendly manner, and using their names. That meant a lot to me. We signed my mom up for an adorable studio apartment which, unfortunately my mom never occupied. Her mental health took a bad turn in a short period of time & we chose to admit her into the GV Memory Care unit. Very happy with the care & patience they show while taking care of all their “special needs” residents. My mom is being well taken care of & absolutely no regrets in choosing the Grand Victorian.

Overall had a wonderful experience while my Dad was with them. Staff was always very helpful and friendly. The staff was very kind attentive, and communication with myself and my father always listened to our needs for him and followed through with everything we asked from them.

Paperwork is what they care about. Anything they can bill Medicare for they will. They send residents to the hospital instead of tending to them, for everything including a cold. The food is poor, hard for residents to chew, under and over cooked. The quality has gone down drastically in past 15 months. Serving sizes are very small. Breakfast is pretty much non existent except for oatmeal and pastries except for Sundays. Every holiday dinner is a sandwich, chips and cookies. Just sad! In 24 months prices have gone up from [name removed] to [name removed] , they have taken away phone and cable services. If meals would be the quality they were in the beginning price increase wouldn't hurt so much. Service has declined, food is poor and prices have risen. The activities are plentiful and many things to keep busy with.

Very beautiful ionic place. Recently toured and the staff was great along with the activities and meal. This is definitely the place to retire at. I look forward to having my parents locate here as well as my husband and I in the future

The Fountains is a very nice place for a family member who needs extra care. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Updating the building has been taking a while, and sometimes there is a strong urine odor in the hallways.

What stood out to us about this facility is the friendliness and across-the-board kindness of all of the staff. It was a real home like feeling throughout the facility.

This community has always served our friends and family well. Many of the staff have been there for years and they have the most “family” focused environment I have been in. Thou can tell when you walk in that it’s a Great Place!!

Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year to be grateful for our blessings. We have to say the Fountains is at the top of our list. The superb, warm and loving staff have given our mother a wonderful, and caring new home. The director, front desk people, office staff, nurses, cleaning ladies, maintenance crew and cafeteria crew all take exceptional care of our beautiful mom. Every visit we have with mom shows us again that we made the best choice in senior facilities. Thank you, everyone, and may you all be blessed for the genuine love and care you show your residents every day.

My grandmother spent her last few years here. She needed to move out of her home of 50 years and the staff made it an easy transition for her. She enjoyed the activities they offer and the company during meal times. The dining room is like a restaurant.

I picked this community because It's close to my home. The food is sort of bland, and could improve a bit. My advice to other families, is it takes awhile for your loved one to get use to new surroundings.

The fountains have been great for my dad and his situation. The administrators have been flexible, responsive and compassionate. The staff has been great! Wish there were more amenities but again not sure what my dad would use. Even the exterior amenities are lacking and they have beautiful grounds. I'm sure all of this would cost more - which would be fine w/us but not sure how others would be. The location, staff and fact that my dad is happy is what we care about. He's made friends. My dad loves the therapists - and like all places- staff is limited but they are accommodating his requests for more therapy. The place needs updating - which they are working on slowly. Food isn't great but tolerable for my dad- I would not do well on it but expectations are different.

We had a very positive tour experience with The Fountains of Crystal Lake - we loved this facility. The staff were extremely friendly and responsive. For someone who needs minimal assistance, I think this would be a great place. My mom cannot handle elevators and long hallways, we more so needed a facility that was all on one level. But that was just our case, for others they seemed like they were flourishing and people looked happy. The only thing I did not like was the fact that there was no internet in the residents rooms. So we would have had to bring in our own. Other than that it seemed like a wonderful facility.

This was a nice community. It was too far from family and too big for our loved one.

I was so impressed with how beautiful the rooms are. They are spacious and bright. The staff are warm and welcoming. I was able to see the residents participating in activities and enjoying a delicious lunch. This truly a top notch facility.
