Melody Living Lake in the Hills Assisted Living & Memory Care
Melody Living Lake in the Hills Assisted Living & Memory Care offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Lake in the Hills, IL. Independent living means private living with community services but no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and having all three options can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
Respite care is available for short stays. It can help when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. The community has 88 beds, opened in 2020, and is operated by Al-Mc Lake In Hills Associates.
Residents can use the Encore Fitness Center, outdoor walking paths, garden patios, a salon and spa, and a theater for exercise, time outside, personal grooming, and entertainment without leaving the community. Chef-prepared meals and personalized menus allow dining to be planned around individual preferences, while the Active Living and Melody Bridge programs provide named activity options. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. The area has a Walk Score of 30 and is car-dependent, meaning most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives will generally need transportation for those trips.
