Overview of Franciscan Village of Lemont

Franciscan Village of Lemont, in Lemont, IL, brings together independent living, memory care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care. Independent living is a private residence, with community services included, and daily care is not part of it. Assisted living adds bathing, medication, and dressing, with the resident’s own apartment left alone.

Memory care comes as a setting rather than as a service, secured and supervised for a resident whose wandering is a risk. A licensed nurse at any hour is what makes moving up a level here a real option rather than a line in a brochure.

The licensed count is 47 beds. Nurse time allocated to one resident is 4h 5m in a day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are the three ways to fund it, and Franciscan Communities, Inc operates the community.

Rehabilitation is available through the community too. Respite covers a short stay for somebody whose usual caregiver has a trip or a recovery of their own, arriving at the end of a list otherwise built for staying. Franciscan Care Solutions is a program with its own name.

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.
