Overview of Country Lane Memory Care

Country Lane Memory Care provides assisted living and memory care in Riverton, IL. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for residents living with early-to-middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, while assisted living provides help with daily personal care. Offering both care levels can allow a resident whose needs change to remain in the same community rather than begin again elsewhere.

Opened in 2015, Country Lane Memory Care has 30 beds, making it a smaller community where residents and staff can get to know one another. Private rooms provide a single living space, while semi-private rooms suit residents who share a room with a companion. The community may be a good fit for someone with dementia who needs a supervised setting and access to secured outdoor areas.

Residents can use the secured outdoor patio and courtyard, attend social events and activities, dine in a restaurant-style setting, and access on-site salon services. The community is operated by Country Lane Memory Care Assisted Living, with Cari Claussen serving as director. A Walk Score of 40 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride.

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.
