Our Pricing & Fees (Hint: $0). No jargon, no runaround — we lay out for Chicago-metro families what's coming, what deserves a closer look, and the next move to make.
If you'd rather just talk it through, our free advisors are ready to help — reach out any time.
Key takeaways
- The right answer depends on care level, budget, family availability, and timeline.
- Get a free advisor on the phone before you tour anything — it spares you hours of scattered digging and keeps you from overpaying for the wrong setting.
- Illinois-specific rules apply: IDPH licenses assisted living and shared housing establishments under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9); Medicaid runs through the Supportive Living Program (SLP) for assisted living and the Community Care Program (CCP) for in-home care; memory care is delivered within licensed assisted living under Alzheimer's Special Care Unit disclosure rules rather than a separate state license.
- Most families expect this to drag on, but 7–14 days start to finish is typical once you get moving.
