What care is Bardwell Residences licensed to provide in Aurora?

IDPH licenses Bardwell Residences for 98 assisted living units: 20 regular assisted living units, 17 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units, 61 floating units. About 17% of the licensed units are dedicated to Alzheimer's care, so dementia support is one part of a mostly assisted living 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. IDPH also shows some units as “floating”; ask how those are assigned between regular and dementia care.

Who operates Bardwell Residences, and has ownership changed?

The licensee of record for Bardwell Residences is FOX VALLEY DEVELOPERS, LLC. IDPH shows 3 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning March 28, 2024, and no change-of-ownership record at this address.

IDPH's online system only reaches back to its 2023 migration, so a community can be licensed far longer than the earliest period shown; ask the community when it first opened.

Does Bardwell Residences 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 Bardwell Residences. 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.
