Overview of Ravenswood Supportive Living

Ravenswood Supportive Living sits in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood, at 1922 W Sunnyside Ave, serving residents age 65 and older in one-bedroom apartments within a mid-rise building. The Walk Score here hits 87, very walkable, and Ascension Saint Joseph – Chicago hospital sits under three miles away.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide round-the-clock coverage, and an on-staff physician handles on-site visits rather than requiring residents to travel for routine care. Personal care, homemaking, laundry assistance, and medication management cover the daily basics, while rehabilitation services, respite care, and hospice and palliative care extend into more specialized territory.

Three meals arrive each day, plus snacks, and the activities calendar stays full: fitness activities, card games, movies, special outings, guest entertainers, and religious services all show up regularly. A beauty salon with barber services, an activity room, an outdoor patio, and Wi-Fi access round out the amenities, and transportation assistance is available specifically for medical appointments, a detail that matters when a resident needs to see a specialist outside the building. Medicaid coverage is accepted here, which matters directly for the population this community is built to serve.

Ravenswood Supportive Living combines round-the-clock clinical support, a full daily activities calendar, and Medicaid coverage, the kind of combination that works well for older adults who want to stay independent while having real healthcare support close at hand.

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.
