IDPH licenses Gurnee Place Memory Care for 42 assisted living units: 42 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units. About 100% of the licensed units are dedicated to Alzheimer's care, so dementia support is the core of this community.
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.
Gurnee Place Memory Care is operated by PJC Properties I LLC, and IDPH records show a change of ownership at this address: the earlier licensed entity (Gurnee Memory Care) is now marked “Inactive – CHOW.” The current licensee's first license period in the IDPH system began November 1, 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 Gurnee Place Memory Care. 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.
