What care is Ciel of Vernon Hills licensed to provide in Vernon Hills?

IDPH licenses Ciel of Vernon Hills for 99 assisted living units: 45 regular assisted living units, 45 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units, 9 floating units. About 45% 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. IDPH also shows some units as “floating”; ask how those are assigned between regular and dementia care.

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.
