Sometimes, finding the right person to talk to is a bit difficult. So far, our family member appears to be comfortable there and is attended to well.

The Best Memory Care Staff

The overall experience and the friendliness of the staff gets a 5+. We are not sure about the value for cost as this is the first, hopefully the last, time I have experienced this. We would absolutely recommend this community to others! The caregivers love their jobs and it shows in the kindness they show to both the residents and the family. I'd go there if I ever need Memory Care. Ps. He was only in memory care, not assisted living.

A nice place with great staff to care for your loved one

Overall the facility is good and the staff are very friendly and seem to know my family member well. They aren't very communicative when it comes to care plans, updates, and medical information. The onus is on the family member to stay on top of the communication.

Review for Sunrise of Crystal Lake

We have highly recommended sunrise to several friends. The staff is excellent. The value amazing. My favorite thing is it offers independence in a safe environment. When a residents needs change the staff adjusts their care and support accordingly. It has been perfect for our family.

Originally my loved one came for respite care. Everyone, especially staff has been very kind and attentive to my mother. It has made this transition in her life more comfortable and easier to accept.

Welcome and much needed help!

After searching for months through 20+ facilities to find the right place for our father I was pleasantly surprised by the sunrise of Crystal Lake community. We could not wait to get our father out of his current memory care and into sunrise and when we finally did we realized it was the best move we could’ve made. Everything from the facilities to the people is incredible. The communication about every little detail has been nothing short of exceptional and i can now feel that our father truly has the best care we can provide for him! Any reservations or phobia I used to have about visiting my father in a memory care unit are gone. The facilities are so clean and the staff is so pleasant that I actually look forward to going and spending time with my father.

Move In

Custom value. We looked at 7 different facilities and found Sunrise of Crystal Lake to be the most caring, warm family type place. Team member we would like to recognize- oh my!!! Everyone!!! Front desk ladies are fantastic! Always answering my questions and helping. [name removed] in sales was so sweet and caring. The ladies in the dining room could not be more attentive to each resident. The staff who stands out the most for us has been [name removed]. He has helped our mother time and time again. He has been so kind and patient, what a gem you have in him
