Overview of Oak Park Arms

Oak Park Arms offers independent living and respite care in Oak Park, IL. Independent living provides private living with community services rather than daily care, while respite care provides short term stays for a family needing temporary support. Oak Park Arms may be a good fit for someone seeking a smaller community or a household that needs a short term stay option.

The community has 47 beds, a scale that may suit someone who prefers a smaller residential setting. As a rental retirement community with no entrance fee, Oak Park Arms does not require that type of upfront charge. The starting price is $2,000, giving families an initial figure for budgeting.

Meals are served in a full service restaurant with more than 40 choices across breakfast, lunch and dinner, so residents can select from an extensive menu without preparing those meals themselves. Fitness programs, the Academy for Seniors and intergenerational opportunities give residents access to exercise, senior focused programming and activities involving different generations.

A Walk Score of 78 places the area in the very walkable category. Most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
