IDPH licenses Highlands of Lake Forest Place for 51 assisted living units: 31 regular assisted living units, 20 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units. About 39% 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.
The licensee of record for Highlands of Lake Forest Place is LAKE FOREST PLACE, LLC. IDPH shows 4 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning September 24, 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.
