Deer Park Village Senior Living sits at 21840 West Lake Cook Road in Deer Park, Illinois, not far from Barrington, and offers a choice between independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite stays, skilled nursing, or continuing care retirement community living, so you'll spot all sorts of programs and building names used around here fitting what a resident needs at the moment, and with 180 apartments in different types-like studio, semi-private, single, two-bedroom apartments, condos, and even townhouse-style units-there's a range of layouts to pick from whether you want a full-size kitchen, kitchenette, or washer and dryer in your apartment, which is useful if you like doing things yourself, yet there's also room service, laundry, and drycleaning if you want a break. Some residents come for independent living because they're active and just want a simple, social environment with things like art programs, movie nights, music groups, yoga and Tai Chi classes, game nights, and a book discussion club where people talk about what they're reading, and there's even a business center and computer area in case someone likes to browse the internet or send email, plus community Wi-Fi, cable TV, and rooms for watching movies.
There's a saltwater pool, a separate pool with jacuzzi, a putting green, an outdoor recreation room, and walking paths winding through gardens, patios, and a gazebo, and you'll often see people outside if the weather's nice, or inside in the lounge, library, or crafts room if they want to interact or do something creative. Those who need more help can get assisted living services with bathing, grooming, dressing, laundry, medication management, physical and occupational therapy, and help with daily chores-staff provide 24-hour care and are trained for specific memory care programs especially for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, where things like a secure courtyard and special memory care training help prevent confusion and wandering.
Deer Park Village Senior Living includes a restaurant-style dining room, a bistro, a coffee shop, and even a wine bar, and meals here focus on good nutrition and taste, with chef-prepared menus focused on vitamins and minerals. Amenities include a beauty and barber salon, spa services, fitness center, gym, worship services on site, a pharmacy, skilled nursing care for those who need medical support, onsite homecare services, transportation, and even help with VA benefits or financial cost planning, so people who need cost assistance can get help. The building is pet-friendly-and you'll probably see some small dogs or cats with their owners-and guest and resident parking is available. The place is handicap accessible and offers rooms wired for both cable TV and internet, and features things like community social events, movie and theater nights in an onsite theater room, educational lectures, outings into the community, and offsite activities.
There are companion care options, personal aides, and even condos and townhomes if you want more space. The facility has received community awards for best meals and dining, best activities, and a friendly environment. Residents can enjoy easy access to the Metro-Northwest train line for Chicago trips. Staff emphasize a family-serving approach and a focus on making retirement as worry-free as possible, with care plans tailored to each person. The grounds and buildings focus on comfort, safety, and convenience, and there's a simple attitude here that everyone deserves to "Love the way you live."
