There are a lot of activities. The staff is friendly. They're very easy to communicate with, and they're willing to talk to the family members about any situation. The care is good overall. They check on my loved one every couple of hours and throughout the night. It's a small facility, so it's very cozy and comfortable.

Smaller community, and they give what truly matters to the seniors, quality care. So many communities say they give the best care and fall short. This community truly cares and it shows. The staff care.

The meals and dining service is not the best, it could be improved they do not really cook with any fresh vegetables. When our loved one does participate in the activities they really seem to enjoy them and the value for the money is adequate.

Finally home

We chose Revere Court of Crystal Lake because it is a small facility and it is primarily for memory care residents which leads to more personalized care. The room sizes are more spacious than some others that we looked into. They do have shared and private rooms available. I would absolutely recommend to others looking and already have.
