Overview of Cedarhurst of Highland

Cedarhurst of Highland offers assisted living and memory care in Highland, IL. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while allowing a resident to maintain a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Both care levels are available on one campus, so a resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain in the same community rather than move elsewhere. The community has 57 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another. Starting prices are $5,400 per month for assisted living and $6,800 for memory care, with the higher memory care rate reflecting the additional supervision, secured setting and staffing required at that level.

Respite care is available for a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. On site therapy allows residents to receive rehabilitation without arranging transportation elsewhere, while salon services provide personal care within the community. All day dining includes seasonal menus and options for gluten free, diabetic friendly and low sodium diets, and pets are welcome so residents can continue living with a pet.

A Walk Score of 68 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently. Cedarhurst of Highland is operated by Cedarhurst of Highland Operator.

Assisted living in Illinois supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does Illinois Medicaid cover assisted living?

Illinois Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Illinois) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
