What care is American House Cedarlake licensed to provide in Plainfield?

IDPH licenses American House Cedarlake for 41 assisted living units: 41 regular assisted living units. IDPH's total of 178 also counts 137 units outside those categories — typically independent living apartments on the same campus — which this license doesn't break out. No Alzheimer's special care units are listed on the license, so families looking for a secured dementia program should ask how the community handles cognitive decline.

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.

Who operates American House Cedarlake, and has ownership changed?

American House Cedarlake is operated by Sabra Illinois Operations IV LLC, and IDPH records show a change of ownership at this address: the earlier licensed entity (American House Cedarlake) is now marked “Inactive – CHOW.” The current licensee's first license period in the IDPH system began May 1, 2026.

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.

Does American House Cedarlake have IDPH inspections or enforcement actions on record?

None are posted. As of October 23, 2026, the IDPH public lookup lists no survey reports, violations or enforcement actions for American House Cedarlake. 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.
