Sunrise of Naperville North is not just an assisted living building. It’s assisted living, memory care, hospice coordination, and respite care, all under one roof, in Naperville, Illinois. If your parent starts in assisted living and later needs memory care, they don’t have to pack up and move somewhere new. They just… move down the hall, basically.
The building is three stories, 77 beds, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Eighteen years in operation. A place that’s been running that long has usually figured out its systems.
Because memory care lives here too, the staff get specialized training for it, and someone’s on that team 24/7. Not “business hours.” Actually around the clock. There’s also hospice coordination and respite care, so if a family needs short-term coverage, or end-of-life support, that’s built into what this place already does, not something they’d have to go find elsewhere.
Small, practical stuff: you can bring your pet. There’s transportation service and recreation and fitness options on-site. I know that sounds minor next to “memory care training,” but ask anyone who’s actually moved a parent into assisted living, the small stuff is what makes the first few weeks bearable or miserable.
Walk Score here is 49; somewhat walkable. You could walk to a few things nearby, but you’re mostly going to need a car, or lean on that transportation service. Naperville’s city center is a few miles out.
On the regulatory side: Illinois inspects assisted living communities on things like care planning, documentation, and fall or injury prevention.
What you get is a community built for continuity: one address that can carry a resident from assisted living through memory care, hospice, or respite, without a change in zip code.
Set across a 32-acre campus in Orland Park, Illinois, Smith Crossing runs a 62-bed nursing and rehab facility. Under the direction of owner Andrew Anello and Executive Director Amanda Mauceri, the building keeps about 85.6 percent of its beds filled and takes Medicare alongside private pay. Stays here average 56 days, meaning the daily routine is geared heavily toward short-term rehab patients rather than permanent residents.
Residents get around 5 hours and 11 minutes of direct, hands-on attention from the nursing team every single day. Registered nurses handle 1 hour and 27 minutes of that daily care, working alongside the rest of the 24/7 floor staff to coordinate speech pathology, physical therapy, and temporary respite stays. The campus layout is built around a full continuum of care, letting people switch between assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing without moving to a new property. Outside the gates, the neighborhood has a walkability score of 1 out of 100, so you will definitely have to drive when visiting or running errands.
State inspectors gave the facility a clean bill of health during their recent annual licensure survey, finding no deficiencies or rule violations. That clean record results in a citation rate of zero for the home, which has been established in the Orland Park area for 17 years.
Families can contact the main office to find out about current bed availability, ask how the physical therapy programs are structured, or set up an afternoon to walk through the grounds.
For nearly three decades, Bradford Place has served Swansea residents in Saint Clair County, Illinois, offering assisted living and specialized memory care under the direction of Manager Jackie Mahworr. Bradford Place Group, LLC operates the 39-bed community, which includes 31 assisted living units and 8 dedicated beds for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or advanced dementia.
Regulatory oversight has produced a consistent compliance picture. Inspectors conducted an annual licensure survey in August 2024 and three separate complaint investigations across November 2024 and early 2025, all of which found the facility to be in full compliance with Illinois assisted living regulations. The allegations underlying those investigations could not be substantiated; no deficiencies, violations, or enforcement actions were issued.
A+ Better Business Bureau certification reflects the facility’s business practices and complaint resolution history.
Residential services center on memory care programming for dementia residents and personal support for assisted living clients. The facility operates a respite care program for temporary placements.
Daily meals are chef-prepared using fresh, local ingredients; dietary preferences and special needs are documented with dining staff.
Therapeutic activities, recreational engagement, and social programming occur throughout the month. Housekeeping removes the burden of maintenance and daily upkeep.
Common areas and amenities emphasize both wellness and leisure. The community offers a fitness center, library, billiards room, general store, movie theater, and salon services. Piano lounge and fireplace lounge spaces provide quiet gathering areas; an outdoor terrace extends seasonal programming.
Memorial Hospital Belleville is located 3.54 miles away; the surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent.
Bradford Place suits residents transitioning to assisted living or those with dementia seeking a structured, long-established setting with emphasis on dining quality and therapeutic engagement.

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.
