Assisted Living, Independent Living & Respite Care · Oak Park, IL
Oak Park Arms is a long-standing rental retirement community at 408 South Oak Park Avenue in Oak Park, Illinois. Operated by Oak Park Arms, LLC, the facility has served the Cook County market for over 45 years, specializing in independent living with no entrance fee. Located within a historic landmark building, the community offers a vibrant, urban residential model just steps from the downtown city center.
The community operates primarily as an independent living facility, though it maintains a licensed home care agency on-site to provide “ala carte” support services for residents who require extra assistance. While it previously held an Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) assisted living license, that component was voluntarily surrendered in January 2025. Consequently, the community’s citations-per-inspection rate under its former license was zero, with the closure survey finding no deficiencies. Starting prices for independent living are approximately $2,000 per month, which includes utilities.
Ssupport is coordinated through the on-site home health agency, allowing residents to age in place with personalized care plans. Clinical services include physical therapy, podiatry, and medication reminders, while a 24-hour emergency call system is provided for security. The community also hosts an award-winning adult day care program, providing a structured social environment for seniors during business hours. For medical emergencies, Rush Oak Park Hospital is situated only 0.5 miles from the campus.
The facility features studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments that can be rented furnished or unfurnished. A full-service restaurant provides more than 40 daily choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Shared community spaces include a library, a gym, a barbershop, and a community center with a stage for live performances. The social calendar is exceptionally active, featuring over 200 events monthly, such as the “Academy for Seniors” lectures, Spanish club, and intergenerational programs. The community holds a high Walk Score of 78, and residents have pedestrian access to the Oak Park Public Library and local transit.
Those seeking a social-centric environment with the flexibility of rental senior housing and on-site home care may find this setting appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the management team directly to review the current “ala carte” service pricing and tour the historic common areas to assess 2026 quality performance firsthand.
