StoryPoint Crystal Lake

Studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments and companion suites are all available at StoryPoint Crystal Lake, at 751 East Terra Cotta Avenue in Crystal Lake. The community, formerly Sunrise of Crystal Lake, is operated by StoryPoint Group. It lists assisted living, memory care, respite care and hospice care, which can reduce the number of moves a resident faces as needs change.

Assisted living provides 24-hour help with daily routines, medications and coordinating medical appointments. Memory care runs in a licensed, secured neighborhood for residents living with dementia or other memory impairment, with specially trained staff and planned programming. Short respite stays of 14 to 29 days are listed for families who need a break, and hospice care is available for residents at the end of life.

Apartments include kitchenettes and spacious bathrooms, and utilities are included, with telephone and cable TV optional. The executive chef builds menus from local ingredients and resident feedback, and residents receive 3 meals a day plus snacks. On site there is a movie theater, a library, a fitness center, a game room, a salon and barber shop, a courtyard and a private dining room for family meals.

The community is pet-friendly with a secured dog park, and on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy and scheduled transportation help with recovery and appointments. Families should ask how hospice providers coordinate with community staff and how a move from assisted living to memory care is handled. Compare nearby choices through senior living in Crystal Lake.
