Eastland Retirement Community
Overview of Eastland Retirement Community
Eastland Retirement Community is a 42-bed senior living campus located at 901 Eastland Drive in Auburn, Illinois. Owned and operated by Eastland Independent & Assisted Senior Living LLC, the community is led by Director Debbie Gheen and serves Sangamon County with a blend of independent and assisted living options. Centrally located, the facility maintains a Walk Score of 68, providing residents with pedestrian access to various local services in Auburn.
The facility is regulated under the Illinois Assisted Living and Shared Housing Establishment Act and does not carry a federal CMS star rating. Current 2026 data shows that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero across its three most recent state reviews. This record includes a December 2024 licensing survey, a March 2025 annual survey, and a September 2025 investigation into three separate complaints, all of which were found to be unsubstantiated and resulted in no violations. No fines or enforcement actions are present in the current regulatory record.
Professional support is available 24/7 through a team of licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) who oversee medication administration and daily physical needs. The clinical model emphasizes personal safety, with each resident provided a location pendant linked to a 24-hour security system. While specific therapy outcomes are not listed, the staffing structure is designed to coordinate care with residents’ personal physicians to support a stable healthcare continuum.
Residences are configured as one- and two-bedroom apartments featuring individualized climate controls and full kitchenettes. The monthly service model is all-inclusive, covering three meals daily, weekly housekeeping, and professional laundry.
Shared amenities include an on-site beauty salon, a library program, and common areas for social gatherings. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide organized activities and creative engagement. For local errands and medical visits, the community offers scheduled transportation to keep residents connected to the Auburn area.
Older adults seeking a small-scale, apartment-style setting with a deficiency-free regulatory history may find this environment appropriate. Prospective residents and their representatives should visit the campus directly to assess the current atmosphere and 2026 quality performance firsthand.
