Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.

Overview of Eberhardt Village

Eberhardt Village provides nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, hospice care, and independent living in Arthur, IL. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains an apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, and hospice care supports residents with end-of-life needs.

With 37 beds, Eberhardt Village is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. Its range of care types can suit a resident whose needs may change over time, because different levels of support are available within the same community. Short-term rehabilitation provides a temporary stay for recovery and therapy, while rehabilitation services also support residents receiving ongoing care.

Residents have private suites, which provide a personal living space, along with daily activities and weekly outings. A salon and beautician services give residents access to personal grooming on site, and pets are allowed. The area has a Walk Score of 56 and is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be completed on foot by a resident who is able to go out independently.

Overview of The Lamoine Retirement Living

Overview of Ascension Living Resurrection Village

Ascension Living Resurrection Village is a mid-rise, 37-unit community at 7262 W Peterson Ave in Chicago’s Norwood Park neighborhood, operated by Presence Senior Services-Chicagoland. The care levels span memory care, assisted living, and independent living, with units in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Resurrection Medical Center is 0.28 miles from the front door, which is among the closer hospital proximities you will find for a community this size.

The facility is rooted in the Catholic faith tradition, and pastoral and spiritual care are part of the service package alongside the practical daily supports: housekeeping, transportation, beauty services, and rehabilitation. Registered dietitian consultations are available. Exercise programming and organized social activities fill out the wellness side. A volunteer program is active.

The amenity footprint is substantive for 37 units. On-site you get a library, salon, spa, patio, fitness center, greenhouse and garden areas, bike paths, and free ground-level parking. That breadth is unusual at this scale and suggests a campus built for longer stays.

The Walk Score is 47, meaning Norwood Park requires a car for most daily tasks. State inspections have tended to center on care planning and documentation and fall and injury prevention.

For families placing a loved one within a Catholic care tradition, or those who want memory care paired with independent and assisted living on the same campus and a hospital within a quarter mile, this community is a specific and coherent fit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Illinois

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Illinois?

Assisted living in Illinois supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Illinois?

Assisted living in Illinois is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

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.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 382 assisted living facilities in Illinois. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Illinois?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Illinois, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Illinois?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
