What care is Brookdale Oak Park licensed to provide in Oak Park?

IDPH licenses Brookdale Oak Park for 44 assisted living units: 38 regular assisted living units, 6 floating units. 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. IDPH also shows some units as “floating”; ask how those are assigned between regular and dementia care.

Who operates Brookdale Oak Park, and has ownership changed?

The licensee of record for Brookdale Oak Park is Clayton Charles Strasburg. IDPH shows 4 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning August 22, 2023, 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.
