Cottages of Fox Lake

Cottages of Fox Lake sits at 16 Lilac Avenue in Fox Lake, IL, close to Lilac 65+ Apartments and right off Rollins Road, so it's easy for families to visit with visitation hours running daily from 8am to 8pm. The community has four one-story cottages, and each cottage holds about 16 apartments, creating a cozy, home-like setting that families and residents seem to appreciate because it feels more like a tight-knit neighborhood where people know each other. The cottages look like homes you'd find in a quiet town, with plenty of landscaped outdoor spaces, gazebos, putting greens, courtyards, water features, and spots for sitting and walking. People like gathering in the community dining room where a super chef and team serve up home-cooked and chef-prepared meals, focusing on both taste and nutrition. The community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, including skilled nursing for those who need a higher level of care. Residents get personalized help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medicine, plus laundry and housekeeping. The staff are there 24 hours a day, with licensed nurses and a long-tenured team who listen well and base care around each person's preferences. They hold a lot of engaging activities-music, games, walks, reading, field trips-so folks stay active and connected. For people living with Alzheimer's or another dementia, there's the Flourish memory care program, which focuses on custom-tailored care to help residents keep their dignity and reduce boredom and loneliness. Cottages of Fox Lake also offers an Alzheimer's Support Group that meets on specific dates to help families connect. The staff help residents find the right care option and are happy to arrange tours in person or online. This is a family-owned community, now run by Charter Senior Living, and you'll find a group of people here-both residents and staff-who treat each other like friends and family and really look out for one another while enjoying simple comforts and daily routines. The community stays connected through a website and social media pages, and there are brochures and a resource guide for anyone considering a move.
