American House Oak Park offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Oak Park, IL. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living is for residents who want community services without daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
The three care levels may suit a resident whose needs change over time without requiring a move to another community. The community has 100 beds, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments available. A starting price of $3,000 per month gives families an initial figure for budgeting, although that rate is not assigned to a specific care level.
Respite care is available for short stays, which can give a family caregiver time away to travel or recover. Restaurant-style dining, a fitness center, a salon, green roof terraces, a rooftop lounge, and a landscaped outdoor terrace with a walking path give residents places to dine, exercise, receive salon services, and spend time outdoors. Art studio workshops, live music, movie nights, book and garden clubs, and activities tailored to cognitive health provide structured ways to take part in creative, cultural, and cognitive-focused programs.
Scheduled transportation is available, and pets are allowed. Ah Oak Park operates the community. With a Walk Score of 88, the area is very walkable, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still get out independently.
