Concord Place Retirement Community in Northlake, Illinois, delivers two levels of care—Assisted Living and Independent Living—supported by a broad clinical program. The community is equipped to serve residents who use oxygen, follow special diets, live with behavioral issues, or are under 60 years old. Diabetes care spans oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale monitoring, and the staff can coordinate these needs without supporting dementia conditions. Licensed nurses are on site, medication management is handled internally, and the team can involve hospice professionals when needed.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on the premises, a nurse remains on call 24 hours, and an awake night-shift staff reinforces safety. Pull-cord alerts connect directly to caregivers, and 24-hour security personnel monitor the building. Residents have access to dental, vision, hearing, podiatry, occupational therapy, pain management, and rehabilitation services without leaving the property. Daily living assistance is individualized: caregivers provide full help with bathing and dressing, standby oversight for meals, and partial assistance for toileting. Transfers are supported for walkers, wheelchairs, one-person assists, or simple supervision, and an activity director coordinates therapeutic and recreational programs.
Apartments range from studio to larger layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, cable, and options to paint or decorate, but not every apartment offers every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and Independent Living residents may add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry to their plans.
Dining is offered three times daily in a restaurant-style setting, with meals prepared by a chef and an all-day open schedule for flexibility. Menus accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-ordered diets. Snacks are always available, and residents can choose between communal seating or tray service when health needs require.
Residents may smoke in designated outdoor areas, bring well-behaved pets—it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed—and enjoy wheelchair-accessible common areas. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, high-speed internet, chapel with on-site religious services, penthouse greenhouse, pool table, snack shop, indoor pool, and abundant lounges and gathering areas. Chef-prepared meals are available all day, and scheduled transportation connects residents to appointments while the community’s location near public transit offers additional travel options.
