Arden Courts of Northbrook in Northbrook, IL is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care and is prepared to manage the full spectrum of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. Care teams are trained to address wandering behaviors at any hour, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who are awake and active through the night. Medical support extends to wound care and oxygen therapy, and the staff follows physician-ordered special diets. Diabetes management is available for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Assistance with every activity of daily living—bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting—is offered at the full-support level. Mobility needs are met with standby help, one-person or two-person transfers, and accommodation for walkers and wheelchairs.

The community maintains an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse present around the clock. Residents benefit from regular podiatry visits on site, while security measures include background-checked employees, a secured and alarmed environment, and a fenced outdoor area to minimize exit-seeking. An activity director coordinates cognitive and physical programs that align with each resident’s care plan, ensuring engagement without compromising safety.

Rooms at Arden Courts can be furnished or residents may bring personal pieces, and climate controls allow each room to be set to individual comfort levels. Some rooms can be painted or otherwise personalized, but not every accommodation offers every feature, so it is best to confirm specific options during a visit.

Meals follow a set menu that is adjusted for physician-ordered diets, including diabetic and texture-modified selections. Snacks are available throughout the day and evening, giving residents the opportunity to eat when their appetite is highest, a practice often beneficial in dementia care.

Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
