Highly Recommend

We are delighted with the care my mom receives. It is truly a wonderful place for my mom. It's a smaller setting with only memory care patients, so it really feels like a family. The staff is extremely attentive and kind, with both residents and family members. They keep residents engaged throughout the day. They have access to doctors and therapists as well as a salon at the facility, which is very convenient.

The perfect fit

[name removed] and the Encore staff were the perfect fit for our mother. I cannot say enough about the excellent care and the kindness she was shown. They truly have the residents best interest in mind! The facility is clean and mom is always clean with her hair brushed. Mom loves bingo and as she has declined in her cognitive abilities, [name removed] puts her right next to her so she can help her play her bingo cards. It means so much to have her at a place that she is safe, well cared for and loved. We are forever grateful to [name removed] and the entire staff!!

Mom is Happy

Encore of South Barrington is the “best decision” we ever made for our Mom’s memory care needs. As soon as you walk through the front door, you should immediately feel at home. Encore provides a warm, enjoyable but structured environment that makes your loved one feel safe and comfortable. The compassionate staff does an exceptional job assisting with bathing, dressing, meals and managing of all of her medications. I personally love that there are daily fun-filled activities and programs planned to keep our Mom engaged and interacting with others. The best part is that our Mom is HAPPY and that makes our family HAPPY.

Great place for Dad

Encore knows and understands dementia patients. And when you know things well and hold to high standards, it equals a wonderful place for human beings to be cared for. My father received excellent, truly kind care during his time here. The almost daily communication by text from nursing was priceless. He loved the food! I would definitely recommmend anyone’s loved ones to be a resident here.

Respite care at the Encore

This place was not what I expected. I took my husband there for respite care for a month of March. I took him home a day and a half later after quickly realizing the place was not for him. Firs day I visited him he sat outside of his room alone with wet diaper. The next morning I visited during breakfast and it was horrible. Prison food is better. No coffee was offered and the food was so dry. It appeared that most residents just sat around. There was no physical engagement. I was very disappointed. My husbands well being was more important that the $[removed] that I lost.

Review for Encore at South Barrington

Our Mom is doing very good @ Encore. Seems that since we put her in hospice and they took her off some of the medication she seems a little brighter. The facility and personal are very good. They really seem to care better for her. Because it is a smaller facility we feel that helps.

Exceptional care by my warm and knowledgeable staff

I can’t say enough good things about the staff and environment at Encore in South Barrington! We found this program after having our mom in a different memory care facility and this move was our best decision yet. The staff is warm, patient, and clearly comfortable navigating the complex challenges seen with Alzheimer’s patients. Within a week at Encore our mom was calmer and more relaxed and seemed to be responding to the environment so well. The staff has found ways to engage our mom in activities and keep her active and participating! I would highly recommend this program!

Peace of mind

My husband has been a resident for three months. He is in very good hands. The staff is well trained on how to care for residents with dementia. The facility is very clean. It is a bright and friendly environment. The residents have lots of activities offered to them. The staff keeps me informed of my husband’s condition. I feel very good about leaving my loved one in their care.

Review for Encore at South Barrington

The entire community is an atmosphere of caring, kindness and tranquility. The staff go above and beyond caring for the residents. They are attentive and quick to respond to resident needs (assistance with wheelchair, etc.) They the keep the residents engaged throughout the day in a multitude of activities that are appropriate for where the residents are physically and mentally. Everyone is so kind. They treat family members of the residents like family - every request and concern is met with reciprocal care. The facility is beautifully appointed and feels warm and comfortable. It is very difficult making the hard choice to put a family member in a memory care facility. But Encore at South Barrington makes you feel like you made the best choice. I know my mom is safe and comfortable.

Wonderful Facility

My mother began to experience memory issues and was subsequently diagnosed with Dementia. I look at several facilities for my mother but was drawn to this facility because it is smaller and I was impressed by the staff beginning with my initial visit to the facility. My experience has been the same now that my mother is a resident of this facility. All of the staff is friendly and available at all time to listen to my concerns or questions and then act on them immediately. Overall its a great fit for me and my mother!

Wonderful Facility that Cares

I was looking for a residence for my husband while I recuperated from some surgery. I was very apprehensive about doing so as I would be away from my husband for a period of time and unable to visit with him in person. I searched numerous facilities and came across Encore which was so close to my home. I toured the facility and was extremely impressed with the Director of Sales & Marketing as well as the Executive Director. In no way at all did I feel I was given the typical sales pitch but rather a caring, understanding discussion and tour of the facility which provided me with a peace of mind in making my decision. The facility is beautiful, very welcoming and well organized. The staff is very friendly, takes the time to introduce themselves and gets to know the residents and family members. The medical care is outstanding, communication is great between the nursing staff and myself and the aides are wonderful. My husband loves the food and daily activities, a plus for him.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
