When families search for senior living, Illinois is often at the top of the list — and for good reason.
People often say Illinois is a small version of the United States as a whole, meaning the state has a little bit of everything the country has to offer. With mostly moderate weather, plus plenty of farmland and rural towns to go along with its mid-size industrial cities and Chicago — the third-largest city in the U.S. — Illinois is a uniquely desirable retirement destination. It’s the quintessential Midwestern state, bordering the Mississippi River in the west, the Ohio River in the east, and Lake Michigan in the north. The “Land of Lincoln” also has a rich political history: Other than Honest Abe, several other U.S. presidents have called Illinois home, including Ulysses S. Grant, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama.
There are more than 240 nursing homes in Illinois. A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors can provide you with a list of nursing homes in Illinois to help you find the community that fits your needs and budget.
In Illinois, the median monthly cost of a private room in a nursing home is about $6,800, according to Genworth.
It is a beautiful well maintained facility with a very welcoming atmosphere. The residents get along very well and enjoy each other's company. The staff is always responsive and helpful.
Despite my living in an apartment in Independent Living, I see the excellent care of others who are more impaired. I would absolutely recommend Brookdale Northbrook to other families!

Mercy Circle was wonderful. My dad was able to heal with support kindness and support. We highly recommend Mercy Circle to everyone.

Moved mother-in-law in January. Staff are friendly on the surface. Not sure if we asked more questions than others, but we found slow responses and/or conflicting information from a range of staff. She's...
It's a very nice place for my mother. Not sure if there is anything that they need to improve on from what my mom tells me. Most of the staff is very friendly and she seems to be happy there.
