When families search for assisted living, Illinois is often at the top of the list — and for good reason.
People often say Illinois is a small version of the United States as a whole, meaning the state has a little bit of everything the country has to offer. With mostly moderate weather, plus plenty of farmland and rural towns to go along with its mid-size industrial cities and Chicago — the third-largest city in the U.S. — Illinois is a uniquely desirable retirement destination. It’s the quintessential Midwestern state, bordering the Mississippi River in the west, the Ohio River in the east, and Lake Michigan in the north. The “Land of Lincoln” also has a rich political history: Other than Honest Abe, several other U.S. presidents have called Illinois home, including Ulysses S. Grant, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 540 senior living communities in Illinois that provide assisted living.
The median monthly cost of assisted living in Illinois is about $4,900.
Assisted Living
We chose The Cottages because of the convenient location. It is 5 smaller building instead of just one large facility, so sometimes your family members do not have any interaction with the other residents. They have been excellent with communication with everything that has been going on. They have had a new chef and he is not as good as the last one that they had. Overall I would recommend to others looking.
Read moreBesides the beautiful aesthetics of this newly opened location, the quality of care and the professionalism yet friendliness of staff is first rate. It is clear that Cedarhurst in Frankfort IL leads from the top down with a clear message of care and compassion for all its residents. Each employee truly brings such value; other similar types of facilities would benefit to aspire to the foundation Cedarhurst has so quickly forged.
Read moreI find the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The front desk people are very welcoming and extremely helpful. The young women in the dining rooms are so pleasant.
