Encore Cares

The staff and caregivers are so compassionate and thoughtful it has made a difficult time easier. Everyone takes time and shows genuine empathy to the families who live there. My parent enjoys the food and we all enjoy the activities.

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 forev

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 eng

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.
