A Vibrant, Resort-Style Adventure Awaits Seniors at Encore Village
Get ready to embrace your Golden Years with a lifestyle that’s as lively or relaxed as you want it to be. At Encore Village, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re living independently, need a little help to keep your spark, or require skilled nursing to bounce back stronger than ever. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a resort-like community bursting with opportunities to thrive.
Located at 350 W Schaumburg Road, Encore Village sits on a stunning 70-acre campus that’s been revamped to bring modern flair and comfort to today’s seniors. Think lush grounds, a sparkling fishing lake, and a community that feels like a permanent vacation.
Celeste Foltz, VP SNF Sales and Admissions, sums it up perfectly: “Our goal is to ensure residents truly enjoy senior living–at every level of care, whether Independent, Assisted, or Skilled Nursing. With a 4-star CMS rating and a luxury experience that feels like a resort, our community blends exceptional care with comfort and style.”
Endless Fun and Convenience at Your Fingertips
Encore Village is like a playground for seniors. With over 400+ activities monthly—think cornhole tournaments, fishing by the lake, or splashing in the Olympic-sized pool—there’s never a dull moment.
Want to unwind? Soak in the hot tub, grab a coffee at the on-site shop, or challenge friends to a game of skee-ball or bowling. Plus, with three on-site restaurants, pharmacy, Ascension Primary Care Office, and a convenience store, everything you need is right here, wrapped in 24/7 security for total peace of mind.

A Home for Every Lifestyle
For those in the independent or assisted-living community, Encore offers cozy apartments, single-family units, condos, or townhomes tailored to your needs. It’s all about living life to the fullest.
“Many of our residents truly thrive in our independent and assisted living community. It’s about more than care–it’s about connection, purpose, and bringing joy back into daily life. Here, living means more than just getting through the day–it means waking up to possibility,” Foltz said.
With a health club, doctor’s offices, and restaurants on campus, you’ll feel like you’re at a four-star resort with a tight-knit community cheering you on.
“Residents live an active, worry-free life, like on a resort. They can have peace of mind that everything they need is in one place,” Foltz says.
Skilled Nursing with a Spring in Its Step
Life can throw curveballs—a fall, a health hiccup, or an injury—but Encore’s Briarwood skilled nursing section is there to help residents swing back. With 24/7 medical care and four therapy disciplines, residents regain mobility and life skills to return home.
Since reopening in 2024, over 280 residents have regained their vitality and transitioned back to their vibrant lives in the greater Chicago community.
“Here, you’re part of a real community. You’re surrounded by care, connection, and people who are here for you,” Foltz said.
Care to the Core: A Team That Shines
At Encore Village, the motto is Care to the Core, and the team lives it every day. “What you see here is a lot of smiling faces. Our team on-site is willing to do anything to make this an environment for seniors to thrive,” Foltz shared.
The mission of Encore Village is all about finding team members who bring heart and dedication to create a joyful, supportive environment.
“It takes an Encore Village. You need an entire team working toward that level of quality. It is so rewarding to be a part of a team like this,” she adds.
Come Experience the Community for Yourself
