IDPH licenses Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott for 72 assisted living units: 44 regular assisted living units, 28 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units. About 39% of the licensed units are dedicated to Alzheimer's care, so dementia support is a meaningful part of its program.
Illinois licenses assisted living by living unit rather than by bed. An Alzheimer unit belongs to a special care program for people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, which the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295 hold to added staffing, training and environment requirements.
Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott is operated by Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott LLC, and IDPH records show a change of ownership at this address: the earlier licensed entity (Amazing Grace Senior Living) is now marked “Inactive – CHOW.” The current licensee's first license period in the IDPH system began August 8, 2024.
An ownership change doesn't by itself mean care changed, but ask what stayed the same — administrator, nursing lead, pricing and residency agreement terms — and what the new operator changed.
None are posted. As of October 23, 2026, the IDPH public lookup lists no survey reports, violations or enforcement actions for Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott. That reflects what IDPH publishes online, not a guarantee that no survey has taken place.
Ask the administrator for the most recent IDPH survey and any plan of correction — establishments receive them and can share them. To raise a concern, call IDPH's Central Complaint Registry at 1-800-252-4343, or reach the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program through the Illinois Department on Aging Senior HelpLine at 1-800-252-8966.

Size isn't quality — a smaller building can mean more consistent staff — but it shapes the feel of daily life, the range of activities, and how likely an opening is when you need one.
IDPH's online system shows 3 license periods for Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott, beginning August 8, 2024. Illinois assisted living licenses run for one year and are renewed annually, so an unbroken chain of periods is what a well-run renewal history looks like. The licensed unit mix has stayed the same across these periods.
Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott operates under the same state rulebook as every assisted living establishment in Illinois: the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and IDPH's rules at 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295. Those rules require a residency contract, a service plan for each resident, awake staff at all hours, and an annual unannounced IDPH inspection.
They also set the ceiling on care. Residents who need round-the-clock skilled nursing, or total help with two or more daily activities, generally have to move to a nursing home unless an exception such as hospice applies — so the move-out criteria in the contract matter as much as the move-in tour.
Because the license lists Alzheimer units, the dementia program must also meet the Act's special care unit requirements and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Special Care Disclosure Act, which requires a written description of the program's philosophy, staffing, training and activities. Ask for that disclosure document.
Most families pay privately — savings, pension and Social Security income, or proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance usually reimburses licensed assisted living once a policy's benefit trigger is met, so check the elimination period. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a pension supplement that can be applied to rent.
For Medicaid, Illinois uses the Supportive Living Program rather than paying assisted living rent directly, and SLP communities are certified separately by HFS — confirm with Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott whether it participates before counting on it. For free benefits counseling, contact the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Senior Services.
Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott doesn't publish its rates to IDPH, so we don't list a price for it. For context, memory care across the Chicago metro typically runs $5,500–$8,000 a month in 2026, with regular assisted living lower at $4,500–$6,500 a month.
Ask for an all-in monthly figure in writing for your parent's actual care level, what triggers a level-of-care increase, and the annual increase history. Illinois' Medicaid alternative to assisted living, the Supportive Living Program (SLP) run by HFS, is separately certified — ask Amazing Grace Senior Living on Talcott directly whether it participates.
Start with the license: confirm license 3000805 is active in the IDPH lookup and that the unit type your parent needs is on it. Then judge staffing, not décor — the overnight caregiver ratio, caregiver turnover in the last year, and how long the administrator has been in place.
For a dementia placement, ask to see the Alzheimer unit itself: how it is secured, the staff-to-resident ratio inside it, the dementia training staff completed, and the written criteria for moving a resident from regular assisted living into the special care unit.
