Eastland Retirement Community in Auburn, Illinois, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of daily support that matches their needs. Care plans are adaptable, so individuals who begin in Independent Living can transition smoothly to Assisted Living if they later require more help with activities of daily living.

Medical support is a priority. The community accepts respite or short-term stays, provides focused diabetes care, and has access to a speech therapist for residents needing communication or swallowing therapy. On-site services include incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, and direct oversight by licensed nurses. Rehabilitation resources are present through occupational and physical therapists who help residents maintain or regain functional strength and mobility.

Living spaces vary, with studio, one-bedroom, and companion layouts available. Select apartments offer features such as a central fireplace, balcony or patio, individual climate control with air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and pet-friendly policies, though not every unit includes every item. Outdoor areas and a deck give residents additional space to relax, and parking is provided for those who still drive.

Dining follows a structured meal plan with three chef-prepared meals each day. Menus can accommodate low- or no-sodium and no-sugar requests, and guest meals are offered so family members can join residents at the table. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, but room service is available when medically necessary.

Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, organized social outings, and scheduled time outdoors. The calendar routinely features happy hour, yoga and chair yoga classes, birthday parties, dances, and live music performances, giving residents multiple opportunities to stay active and engaged.
