Overview of Generations at Oakton Arms

Generations at Oakton Arms offers assisted living and independent living in Des Plaines, Illinois. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, so the two options differ in the amount of day to day support provided.

Both care levels are available in one community. That may suit someone whose support needs could grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. The community has 48 beds, placing it in the smaller community range where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Short term rehabilitation is available for a defined recovery period after illness or injury. Respite care provides a short stay when a family caregiver needs time to travel or recover. Respiratory care and dialysis are also among the facility’s listed programs, which may matter to a resident whose care plan requires either service.
