What care is Inspirations of Northbrook licensed to provide in Northbrook?

IDPH licenses Inspirations of Northbrook for 70 assisted living units: 44 regular assisted living units, 26 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 Inspirations of Northbrook, and has ownership changed?

Inspirations of Northbrook is operated by VOP Northbrook LLC, and IDPH records show a change of ownership at this address: the earlier licensed entity (Brookdale Northbrook) is now marked “Inactive – CHOW.” The current licensee's first license period in the IDPH system began October 1, 2025.

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.

Does Inspirations of Northbrook 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 Inspirations of Northbrook. 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.
