Park Place of Elmhurst offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to move between levels of care without leaving the community. Medical support extends to residents with elopement risk, behavioral challenges, wound care needs, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes management—whether oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin is required. The Memory Care program accepts advanced dementia and other cognitive conditions, and the clinical team will also consider applicants under 60 who need the listed services.
Around-the-clock nursing coverage includes both RNs and LPNs, and staff remain awake during night shifts. Background-checked caregivers respond to pull cords, door alarms, and Wander Guard alerts; a fenced rear area adds another layer of protection. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and mobility support ranges from standby help to one-person transfers with walkers or wheelchairs. A visiting podiatrist handles routine foot care on site, while an activity director coordinates daily programming designed to match each resident’s abilities.
Apartments vary, so not every unit includes every feature, but choices may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Independent Living residents also receive medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to keep their autonomy while having support close by.
Meals are prepared with both set menus and made-to-order selections, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered or resident-requested diet modifications, including diabetic and other therapeutic plans. Residents who need assistance with eating receive that help in the dining room or in their apartments, depending on care plans.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center with internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, underground parking, pool and spa, formal and casual dining venues, library, game room, walking paths, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
