Our families experience

The staff was wonderful, they treated my mom with respect and dignity. They offered suggestions to our family on ways to help keep mom safe, while still giving her a sense of independence. The facility was clean and individual messes were cleaned up in a timely manner. The apartment is set up in a "straight back" layout. Which allowed staff to check in without invading my moms privacy. From the door, staff was able to see all of the apartment. It was a perfect size apartment to meet my mom's needs without being overwhelming. The staff welcomed cameras in her apartment, that allowed the family to check in at anytime. My only complaint would be the food. Some of the food was not always proper for an older person struggling with hand coordination. Staff was stretched too thin during meals to accommodate personal needs. Such as cutting up food, opening coffee creamers etc.

Best place to live.

I moved into Encore/North Branch 3 years ago. For me, it was like coming home. I loved the rural setting, the staff made you feel welcomed. This is my home, we are a family with different backgrounds but still a family. We care for each other and we look out for each other. I do not take kindly to someone saying negative things about my home or the staff. Our staff is dressed appropriately and always considerate of the residents. We have a menu board that we choose from, they even have a alternate menu for those who prefer something else. We have activities for residents to participate in, special music to enjoy and social events to share.

Mom's last home.

The staff was always kind to my mother and helped her when she needed it. It's a tough job, but I thought they did a good one. They always listen to my concerns and would either adjust something or explain why a situation was what it was. I don't have specifics, but I checked in most days to see how things were going. I thought the food was good, although some could get picky. Only suggestion is that the food sometimes is so hard for the people with teeth problems to eat... like rolls and certain meat. I think we made a good choice in moving mom there. She got a lot of attention.

Courtyard Earns Top Ratings from our Family

The staff are friendly and professional. The nursing staff is competent and well-organized. The care frequency is wonderful and the caregivers really try their best to engage the residents. The food is well-prepared and tasty according to my mom. The facility is clean without feeling sterile or institutional. It's a very homey place. The space of my mom's apartment is ideal for her capabilities. The outdoor courtyard enables my mom to get fresh air whenever she likes. My mom's health has improved during the last 8 weeks in residence. My only wish is that my mom understood how much better/easier her life is at the Courtyard. I understand that it's difficult to leave her home after a lifetime of caring for it, but the Courtyard provides for the care she needs now.

The Courtyard at Centerville is amazing! My parents are in an independent villa and love it. It has tons of space, a huge garage, and great neighbors. The staff is always quick to respond to requests and there are a ton of amenities and social options available right there in the main building. It could not have worked out better!

The food is excellent, the rooms are good size and furnished. Nurses are awesome and they have plenty of staff 24/7 to assist the residents. I do not have any complaints. The price depends on the room size, but is comparable and even a little cheaper to some of the places we looked at.

Courtyard at McHenry

What we like the most about the community is that it is a self enclosed community, stand alone building bright wide hallways, places to gather, light in all rooms from the courtyard. And a closed hallway in a rectangle that surrounds the courtyard. Perfect for residents who want to walk/ wander without having to be continually redirected.
