What care is MacLean House licensed to provide in North Riverside?

IDPH licenses MacLean House for 20 assisted living units: 20 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.

Who operates MacLean House, and has ownership changed?

The licensee of record for MacLean House is THE ILLINOIS SAINT ANDREW SOCIETY. IDPH shows 3 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning December 8, 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.

Does MacLean House 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 MacLean House. 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.
