I decided, simply, why wait?

“I was visiting a friend and decided on the way out, maybe I’ll just stop by the sales department and see what the current process is. After I talked to them, looked around, and remembered how happy my mother was here, I moved in six months later. I decided, simply, why wait?

I was living in a condo, and with the taxes, condo fees, utilities, and everything, it was very close to the same cost to move in here. That’s the reason I did it right away instead of waiting until I got old.

Why is it better here at Oak Trace? Your horizons broaden when you spend more time with a large group of people as neighbors. Here at Oak Trace, you walk down the hall and you see people and you talk to them, and you have friends.

People are enjoying themselves. They’re staying active, they’re staying productive, and that allows us to live longer.

I’ve lived at Oak Trace for almost six years now and I love this place.”

My 93-year-old mom is so happy at Oak Trace!

“She started at Oak Trace in the Independent Living building and truly enjoyed every aspect of it. Last July, she moved to Assisted Living and has felt very at home there.

My siblings and I have been impressed with the staff, accommodations, services, physical therapy, and activities offered.

I love that the nurses and the CNAs work the same floors and have been there a long time, so they know my mom and her specific needs and personality. The front desk staff are very welcoming and helpful.

The building is very fresh, bright, and clean. My mom's 1-bedroom apartment has everything she needs, including a washer and dryer. The menu offered in the dining room is varied and delicious.

I have to say, I smile every time I walk in the front door to that building knowing my mom is living a secure and good life.”

Seize The Moment. Secure Your Future.

The Earlier You Plan, the More You Save

Healthcare is the fastest-growing expense in retirement, and the biggest uncertainty. By securing a Life Care Plan while you qualify, you can save significantly later.

The Market Is Still in Your Favor

Most Oak Trace residents use home equity to fund their future. With today’s elevated home values in the Chicago area, now is still an excellent time to unlock that investment.

For life’s most important decisions, timing is everything. Save up to $294,866. Entrance fees are rolled-back until September 15.*

We couldn’t be happier

“My mother transitioned from Oak Trace Rehabilitation center one year ago to a resident in the Assisted Living apartments and we couldn’t be happier.

The nursing that was provided in the rehabilitation center was amazing, the common areas are clean, and my mother was well taken care of. Now, as a resident in the Assisted Living apartments, we have been put at ease knowing my mother is very well looked after by the team members/staff, who are very kind and compassionate.

From the moment you walk through the doors to the time you exit, everyone acknowledges you, is genuine, and always has a smile on their face. Thank you!”

The absolute perfect move for me

“I came here saying, I’m not moving in for four or five years. Three months later, I signed my contract. I’m very glad that I did. It was the absolute perfect move for me, and I love it here.

I moved out of our condo to have Life Care, so that my children would not have to worry.

And I recognized that I was very lonely after my husband passed away. Coming here, I’ve got so many new friends. I am blessed because there’s so much here, and I’ve become a part of this family.”
