Overview of Heritage Woods of McHenry

Heritage Woods of McHenry is an assisted living community in McHenry, IL, serving adults 65 and older who need personal assistance while maintaining as much independence as possible. Assisted living provides help with daily routines while allowing a resident to live in an apartment, making this a possible fit for an older adult who needs support with personal tasks but wants to remain in an apartment setting.

Respite care offers a short-term stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Housing includes studios, with living and sleeping areas in one room, and one-bedroom layouts that separate the bedroom from the main living area; Medicaid is accepted, giving a resident who qualifies a payment source for assisted living when personal savings may not cover a long stay.
