The Sheridan at Green Oaks, located at 29330 Waukegan Rd in Lake Bluff, Illinois, is a modern senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite options. Residents can choose from one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, or studio and shared apartments for memory care, and the hallways are wide and open so people can move around easily and stop for a chat. There are shared spaces for socializing and activities, like a library, internet café, great room, business center, arts and crafts rooms, a billiards room, a courtyard with walking paths, fire pits, outdoor living areas near three ponds, and a garden level with lots of windows and light. Meals come prepared by chefs, with choices for private dining and options coordinated by an Executive Chef and Dining Director, and you can eat in the main dining room or another bright space with courtyard views.
The facility has a secured memory care area with special features like a tranquility room and country kitchen to make things feel safe and familiar for people living with dementia. The Sheridan at Green Oaks also includes a partnership with Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital for on-site rehabilitation if you need ongoing therapy, and there are skilled staff and aides available 24/7 if you need help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, laundry, or just some company. There's transportation for medical appointments, and scheduled community outings if people want to take a trip somewhere together. Daily life can include games, fitness classes, arts and crafts, creative workshops, social events, and connecting with others in the activity and craft areas or at the internet café. There's an Adult Day Program that works together with the memory care community, and specialized care plans are set up so each person gets the help that fits their needs.
You'll find a concierge team at the main entrance, Quiet Care Wellness Monitoring for real-time updates, handicap accessibility, Wi-Fi, and a wellness-focused activity calendar. Apartments have bathrooms and kitchens, and the facility offers services for both short and long-term stays, including affordable housing. Residents can be as independent as they want, with support available for changing needs, and there's staff around to help at all hours, described as friendly and helpful by some who live there. The community courtyard connects all care levels, so folks can visit with neighbors, relax outdoors, or walk the landscaped paths-maybe even have a picnic by the water. Floor plans come in several options, like Chestnut Birch, Basswood, Cottonwood, and others, with starting rates at $5,395. Virtual tours show what it's like inside, and tours are available in person to see life, dining, and activities firsthand.
The Sheridan at Green Oaks follows all current licensing rules and provides home care services with trained aides when needed. All care-from independent to memory care-focuses on keeping people engaged, active, and comfortable, and you can join fitness sessions or join in the award-winning activity programs that balance physical, mental, and social wellness. Meals are nutritious and planned out with input from meal planners to make sure they're balanced. If people want quiet time, they can sit in the library or enjoy the view from the courtyard, but there are always activities happening for those who prefer joining in. The environment aims to make everyone feel welcome while providing as much or as little help as you need, with services and levels of care that can change with you as time goes by.
