Elison Independent Living of Niles provides one level of care—Independent Living—while still offering a range of medical supports. Residents who require special diets or have mild dementia conditions can receive oversight from an on-call nurse available 24 hours a day. The community maintains on-site access to an occupational therapist, physical therapist, podiatrist, and medication management services. Memory care support is also available for those who need periodic cognitive monitoring or behavioral cues.

Daily living assistance is offered for residents who need some help with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting. Staff can perform one-person transfers and are familiar with walker use. Background-checked employees and an activity director are on site around the clock, and a dedicated security presence and emergency pull-cord system that dials 911 add another layer of safety.

Residences may include independent temperature controls, cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry, though not every unit has every feature. Housekeeping for Independent Living residents is provided on a routine schedule, and medication-management monitoring is available for those who elect it. Apartments are designed to allow residents to furnish their own space and maintain privacy while still being close to support.

Dining takes place in a central restaurant-style venue, with a private dining room reserved for family gatherings or special events. The kitchen honors diet modifications, diabetic considerations, and vegetarian preferences. A registered dietitian oversees menus to align with physician-ordered restrictions, and staff track intake for anyone identified as nutritionally at risk.

Community amenities include resident parking, an exercise room, wellness center, communal gardens, library, and pool. A barber and beauty shop, concierge desk, and internet access support everyday convenience, while on-site religious services provide spiritual options without leaving the grounds.
