Overview of The Auberge at Lake Zurich

Operating a 16-bed memory care and assisted living community at 555 America Court in Lake Zurich, The Auberge occupies a single-story building just 1.3 miles from downtown Lake Zurich in Illinois’ Lake County. Welltower Landlord Group manages the facility, which opened in 2025 and accepts residents age 55 and older in studio units of 312–334 square feet. The facility does not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

The community offers dining, beauty services, housekeeping, transportation, recreational programming, and exercise options and is pet-friendly.

The facility holds an active Illinois license, issued November 1, 2025, following its recent establishment.

An annual compliance inspection on November 4, 2025, documented seven regulatory deficiencies across emergency preparedness, employee training, and licensing administration.

The facility failed to evacuate residents during fire drills, did not document resident evacuation assistance needs, and had not oriented residents to emergency procedures within the required 10-day move-in window. CPR certification coverage fell short of 24/7 requirements; proof of staff certification was unavailable. Employee onboarding lapses included delayed orientation completion, incomplete initial health screenings, and absent TB testing documentation. Background checks through the Health Care Worker Registry had not been completed before three employees’ start dates.

Additionally, the facility did not renew its license prior to the original expiration date and omitted occupational therapy services from one resident’s care plan. No investigations or enforcement actions have been issued.

A walk score of 46 reflects somewhat walkable surroundings; the nearest hospital is 4.91 miles distant.

The Auberge provides memory care in an intimate setting while addressing foundational compliance gaps in emergency procedures and staff credentialing protocols.
