Overview of Generations at Oakton Arms

Generations at Oakton Arms is a 122-bed continuing care campus at 1665 Oakton Place in Des Plaines, Illinois. Owned by Burton Barrish and operated by Generations at Oakton Arms, LLC, the facility serves Cook County under a dual-licensure model including a CMS-certified skilled nursing wing (Oakton Pavillion) and an IDPH-licensed assisted living and independent living building (Oakton Arms). The campus provides an extensive clinical spectrum, including dialysis, respiratory care, and short-term rehabilitation.

The skilled nursing component holds a 2-star overall rating from CMS, reflecting below-average performance in health inspections and staffing. As of early 2026, the facility has incurred $346,000 in federal penalties over three years, 142% above the state average, including five separate payment denials for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions. While the nursing wing maintains a 2-star status, the independent and assisted living buildings operate under a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on their most recent 2025 licensure follow-up.

Bedside support is provided 24/7, though CMS data shows nursing hours at 2 hours and 31 minutes per resident daily, 36% below the Illinois average. Despite these lower hours, the staff-to-resident ratio is 2.20:1, supported by a heavy reliance on contracted personnel who represent roughly 10% of total nursing hours. Clinical specialties include 24-hour respiratory therapy and on-site hemodialysis. Quality outcomes are mixed; while the facility excels in maintaining resident walking ability and preventing UTIs, the rate of pressure ulcers in high-risk residents is 11.3%, significantly exceeding the state average of 5.3%.

The campus features private and semi-private suites with atrium views and secure residential wings. All-inclusive monthly services cover 24-hour medical monitoring, housekeeping, and multiple dining options across both the Pavillion and Arms buildings.Shared community spaces include a beauty salon, a fully stocked library, and an outdoor patio with landscaped gardens.

The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily fitness programs and intergenerational activities. Although the campus has a low Walk Score of 23, scheduled transportation is available for off-site appointments and community excursions in the Des Plaines area.

Individuals requiring specialized dialysis or complex respiratory care may find this campus’s unique clinical infrastructure appropriate. Prospective residents and their representatives should visit the campus directly and request current status reports on pressure ulcer management and CPR certification compliance to assess 2026 quality performance firsthand.
