“Our 102 year old father came to Fair Oaks after he'd fallen, broken his femur. We experienced patience, care, and expertise throughout our stay. It was such a confusing time for all but the staff always took time to answer our many questions and address our worries. Nurses, nursing assistants, and especially the PTs were tender, knowledgeable....and sometimes provided us all with much needed laughs. Congratulations to all of you who make Fair Oaks such a positive place in such a hard time. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.”
“one of the best experiences I have had in a while. James took the time, and I mean like 40 min, to walk me through how to change tires and tubes, adjust the saddle, handlebar adjustment, and much more. I highly recommend Elgin Community Bikes.”
“Had my son's 9th birthday party here and it was amazing! The staff was so patient and helpful to the kids. Everyone had a great time and it was so easy to host! Highly reccomend!”
“The pantry helps families and individuals in our community who need a helping hand. It's possible because of our local stores, bakeries, bread companies, private donations, and businesses donating food, goods, and money. At some point in life everyone needs a helping hand. We are a community who takes care of each other. There are wonderful volunteers who come and help out. The local high schools also make community service a requirement. Teaching young people empa, compassion, and service to others is what make a society work.”
“This place is so amazing for kiddos! We worked with Beth and I cannot recommend the whole facility more. The horses are amazing with the integration and therapies offered. They are knowledgeable and helpful in also recommending how we can further progress at home. So appreciative of Dream Riders!!”
“I was not sure about joining a chamber and then I met Drew at The Edge Fitness. He told me about all the great things the Chamber had to offer. Anytime I have a question Drew is always there to answer it. He has made events fun and is always welcoming. I look forward to attending more events!”
“Everyone here is very, very kind. I am beyond grateful . They never make you feel less than. They provide to the community with love in their hearts. Sometimes they have to deal with greedy people but they continue to do what they are doing. I am forever thankful for them for helping my family during hard tines. I also want to add they have the most beautiful gardens and they grow everything you can think of! They work super hard on their gardens and they even share their gorgeous flowers they have picked. It always made my day seeing their gardens and what they have freshly picked!♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️ i will say the number system is really bad. They changed it where someone comes out and gives numbers but they don't come out often. And you're expected to know who's in front of who but everyone is in there cars. It gives me great anxiety going to get my number from them and see other pepple also going and then us having to figure out who was next. A lot of people arent honest and take advantage of people that are soft spoken or that won't confront anyone. Or others that have come in after, go and get a volunteer to come out and they try getting a number before the people that are waiting paitently outside. So the person outside has to go quickly and be like actually i was here first. I personally cant do that and not everyone will do that so it's unfair and we get skipped. Ive seen people who got there after someone, get a number before the person that showed up first, many times. It has been this way for maybe a month or more and I was hoping by now they'd have a new system. It's basically first come first serve which is fine but people can get greedy. I am not sure anything to suggest to help this. Maybe appointments with time slots? I don't know but I really hope this isn't the permanent system.”
“Amazing although they closed the adoption part at like 5 on one of the days
So we had to come in the next day but we got the dog that was already some what house trained which was already a life savior but yeah over all 4 stars”
“We went on Raptor Day, so parking was $20/car (usually free). It was money well spent, and also knowing the funds are going to help with conservation. The staff/volunteers were so knowledgeable and friendly, and spent time answering all our questions. It is also a beautiful area to hike around, with some great spots for photos.”
“Excellent staff, awesome nurses and social workers. I’ve visited many nursing homes/ therapy places, Oaks by far is the best. They really care and treated my mom wonderfully.”
“We did the holiday photo fundraiser and had a wonderful time. The horses were so great and the staff as well, they were very patient with my son. My son definitely enjoyed it. Thank you!”
“Got dogs with lots of energy? Here is a great place to wear them out physically but most importantly mentally. Class sizes are small and instruction is individualized.”
“It is members only and I was invited as a guest for a small event. They had a nice private room for us to dine in with excellent service. The dinner menu was limited but very much in line with a hunting and fishing club, venison, walleye as well as some more standard fare. I cannot comment as to pricing as the menu had no prices but all in all an excellent meal ( I had rib eye steak and sampled the venison) and a five star experience.”
“The best attention. Make all person feeling important. I go get food. I not feeling bad. Only covered our needs in all we need They don’t make feeling How poor you are , we’re all important . When I go I come back home. Very happy. Much emotion”
“We came upon a bunny nest abandoned with one baby bunny left and Anderson Humane center quickly called back for us to bring it in and was so knowledgeable, kind and reassuring that the baby bunny was in good hands. Can't recommend them enough!!”

“CTE has been the most amazing experience for my daughter! Everyone from the adults, to the older kids when a show is combine with FVTC to the fellow young actors have been positive, supportive and loving. She has made some amazing friends and has absolutely found a new passion in acting!”
“My wife (God rest her soul) was introduced to Senior Services through community service she did for a project and the people that work and volunteer there had such an impact on her that she changed careers to devote her talents to work with our elders in the community. Amazing group of people.”
“Waltz, fox trot, cha cha. rumba and swing music is played at every monthly dance party. A variety of other dance music is played as well for the more advanced dancers. When not dancing, it’s easy to meet and chat with friendly people who share your interest in dancing. Water and snacks are provided at no extra charge. The dance floor is huge. There’s plenty of space in the center of the room for couples who prefer not to progress around the outer part of the room in waltz and fox trot.”

“Horizons for the Blind offers many services and products for both large-print and braille users. I was impressed by their selection for both individuals and companies.”
“Excellent programs and staff! We have belonged to this playhouse for almost 12 years and do happy to have it so close to us! We have gotten support for us and our daughter and so many resources! It’s a great place to do program's and or volunteer!Hugs and Mugs is a great place to get gelato, chat or a cup of coffee! Our kids like to make special mugs and water bottles there for Father’s Day and Teacher gifts! Quality. Experience is great!”
“Fast unloading. Yes, they do have overnight parking. Only dock for Receiving in little car parking side as you see in map. South side of building 4 docks for shipping.”
“Anytime I have an appointment here, the staff and nutritionists are very kind. They provide resources if you are struggling and are not pushy when it comes to breastfeeding and offer formula no questions asked (some WIC offices push breastfeeding so much so that if you decide to formula feed they make you feel like you have no choice). Would 100% recommend this location.”
