Overview of Clarendale of Mokena

Clarendale of Mokena is a 93-bed continuing care community located at 21536 South Wolf Road in Mokena, Illinois. Operated by Life Care Services (LCS), the facility holds a license active through April 2026 under the state’s Assisted Living and Shared Housing Establishment Act. The campus serves Will County with a three-tier residential model including independent living, assisted living, and memory care.

The community operates under a state-licensed residential model, providing 24-hour medical oversight and localized care coordination. While no CMS star rating applies, current 2026 data shows that the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent compliance follow-up. Regulatory records from July 2025 noted three administrative deficiencies involving staffing calculations, nurse training on incident reporting, and service plan updates; however, all corrections were confirmed by August 2025. Starting monthly costs for assisted living are approximately $3,499, while specialized memory care units start near $4,649.

Bedside support is coordinated 24/7 by a professional team of licensed nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The clinical model is centered on the proprietary Health & Wellness Navigation Program™, which provides specialized care coordination and rehabilitation services. Following the 2025 regulatory findings, leadership implemented mandatory re-education for the Director of Health Services regarding service plan development and timely clinical charting.

Current clinical tracking emphasizes fall prevention and nutritionist-guided dietary planning to support residents with complex health needs.Amenities and AccommodationsThe facility features studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments equipped with full kitchens or kitchenettes, in-unit washers and dryers, and emergency response systems. All-inclusive monthly services cover chef-prepared meals, weekly housekeeping, and professional laundry.

Shared community spaces include a fitness center, a movie theater, a full-service salon and barber shop, and a cocktail lounge. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily engagement through “ForeverFit” classes, Tai Chi, and intergenerational programs. The community holds a moderate Walk Score of 68, and scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and shopping in the Mokena and Lincoln Way area.

Those seeking a nationally managed community with a strong local reputation and a recent history of award-winning care may find this environment appropriate. To assess 2026 quality performance firsthand, prospective residents and their representatives should visit the campus and discuss the current staffing-to-resident-day ratios and nursing training status with the administrator.
