Overview of Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace

Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace opened its doors in early 2025 as a 106-bed memory care and assisted living community at 1635 Ardmore Avenue in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois (DuPage County). Operated by Oakbrook Properties LLC, the facility specializes in secured memory care units for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, alongside assisted living and respite care services.

As a newly licensed operator, Terra Vista has undergone intensive regulatory review. State inspectors conducted 10 visits within the first nine to ten months of operation; substantially above the state average of 8. During this period, the facility recorded two deficiencies. While this count trails the Illinois average of 7, both identified issues center on fall prevention and incident reporting, suggesting a pattern rather than isolated lapses.

The October 2025 substantiated complaint documented the facility’s failure to maintain timely, updated service plans for residents at high fall risk. Among the residents reviewed, one resident had 33 documented fall incidents; two others had 8 and 5 falls respectively. Despite these documented histories and fall-related injuries, service plans were not revised after falls occurred.

A month earlier, in September, inspectors substantiated a separate complaint: the facility failed to report a resident’s fall that resulted in a right femur fracture to the Illinois Department of Public Health, a regulatory requirement. These findings compound to indicate fall management and compliance reporting are operational challenges.

The facility’s January 2025 annual licensing survey found full compliance, and an earlier complaint investigation regarding COVID-19 showed no establishment failure.

Services include memory care with ADL assistance, medication management, secured units, activity programming, and support services such as transportation and housekeeping.

Walk score is 68, moderately walkable.

Terra Vista fits residents with dementia requiring specialized memory care in a newly established setting with ongoing operational development.

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 375 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.
