Bickford of Crystal Lake

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

Our AL and MB residents participated in a bus tour this afternoon to take in the scenic views around town. They also had the opportunity to stop by Tom’s farm market for donuts. It was heartwarming to see their faces light up with beautiful smiles as they took in the diverse colors of the leaves while eating donut as well. What a beautiful day! #HappyLife #HappyResidents.. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemodyCare #BickfordofCrystalLake#SeniorLiving

Both AL and MB participated enthusiastically in the baking and cooking club. Over the past few days, they decorated their own cookies, which proved to be extremely popular, as some residents consumed them immediately, while others were delighted to see the finished product of their efforts. Today, they prepared chili soup, perfectly suited for the cold weather, and everyone waited patiently to be served. This was followed by a Fall Charades game, where the smiles and laughter were truly priceless.

It’s an honor to commemorate Veterans Day with our sponsor, Fox Valley Chapter Regent of Daughters of the American Revolution. Through your support, our residents/veterans have made today’s tribute especially meaningful as we pay tribute to their service to our country. Additionally, the Crystal Lake High School musical group, who performed a stunning musical piece with their impressive instruments, has also honored our veterans. Happy Veterans Day! #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickofdofCrystalLake

Our MB and AL residents engaged in crafting their own miniature wreaths, deriving satisfaction from the decorating process and taking pride in the impressive outcome of their project. This was followed by a Fall Trivia, and they were interested and attentive to the questions, eager to answer correctly in order to receive the candy prizes. #candylovers #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLake #SeniorLiving

Our residents had the opportunity to dine out for lunch at Jameson’s in Huntley. They were excited to experience diverse cuisine at the other venue. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their ordered meals. And their stomach was filled with happiness and delicious meals. Until the end of the pack of to-go. What a beautiful day. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLakeSeniorLiving #ActivityDirectorOverload

Every month, we host a meet and greet for our new residents. The get-to-know-you conversations are always fascinating, as we hear about the interesting stories and memorable moments from our residents' younger years and lives. And followed by donuts as their snacks as we celebrated National Donut Day. Both AL and MB residents were excited to have their donuts. Yum!

It is a great day to initiate our weekly activities. Both AL and MB residents enjoyed participating in men’s and women’s golf club.

    Amazing people starting with (name removed) at the top. (name removed) sets the standards and expectations and thus deserves much credit. She has assembled a talented yet highly caring staff. They work hard to personalize the care provided. I won't attempt to list names because I would certainly be leaving someone out - but - suffice it to say that in the 11 months of relationship with Bickford of Crystal Lake, we have found only great (once in a rare while only "good") team members. Never a rating below "Good" and by far the vast majority "Great." We know the workloads are heavy and the economics put pressure on the staff, however, when called upon or asked, they do everything in their power (and with a smile) to serve. We feel so blessed that our mom is there. Thank you, (name removed), for your heart and your leadership.

    We are so blessed to have Mom at Bickford. We know the staff by name and they all respond to questions and concerns. The care givers are amazing and Mom considers them friends. Nurses call with medication and testing information so I'm kept informed. Mom feels content and safe there and we have peace of mind knowing they are all watching out for her and know her.

    Everything is great, except could use work on housekeeping
