What care is Sheridan at Oak Brook licensed to provide in Oak Brook?

IDPH licenses Sheridan at Oak Brook for 117 assisted living units: 59 regular assisted living units, 14 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units, 44 floating units. About 12% of the licensed units are dedicated to Alzheimer's care, so dementia support is one part of a mostly assisted living 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.

Who operates Sheridan at Oak Brook, and has ownership changed?

The licensee of record for Sheridan at Oak Brook is BMSH II Oakbrook IL, LLC. IDPH shows 3 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning August 22, 2024, 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 Sheridan at Oak Brook 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 Sheridan at Oak Brook. 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.

Where is Sheridan at Oak Brook, and what else is licensed nearby in Oak Brook?

Sheridan at Oak Brook is the only IDPH-licensed assisted living establishment listed in Oak Brook, DuPage County. Across DuPage County, IDPH lists 40 active establishments, 35 with Alzheimer units.

For benefits counseling, caregiver programs and in-home services, the local agency is the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging, which serves DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties.

How does Sheridan at Oak Brook compare with other licensed communities in DuPage County?

By licensed size, Sheridan at Oak Brook is one of the largest assisted living establishments in DuPage County: its 117 assisted living units rank #3 of 40 establishments with published unit counts, against a county median of 78. Metro-wide it ranks #19 of 228.

88% of DuPage County establishments list Alzheimer units, 1211 in total; Sheridan at Oak Brook's 14 make up 1% of the county's licensed dementia capacity. Size isn't quality — a smaller building can mean more consistent staff — but it shapes the feel of daily life, the range of activities, and how likely an opening is when you need one.

What does Sheridan at Oak Brook's IDPH license history show?

IDPH's online system shows 3 license periods for Sheridan at Oak Brook, beginning August 22, 2024. Illinois assisted living licenses run for one year and are renewed annually, so an unbroken chain of periods is what a well-run renewal history looks like. The licensed unit mix has stayed the same across these periods.

What Illinois rules apply to Sheridan at Oak Brook?

Sheridan at Oak Brook operates under the same state rulebook as every assisted living establishment in Illinois: the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and IDPH's rules at 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295. Those rules require a residency contract, a service plan for each resident, awake staff at all hours, and an annual unannounced IDPH inspection.

They also set the ceiling on care. Residents who need round-the-clock skilled nursing, or total help with two or more daily activities, generally have to move to a nursing home unless an exception such as hospice applies — so the move-out criteria in the contract matter as much as the move-in tour.

Because the license lists Alzheimer units, the dementia program must also meet the Act's special care unit requirements and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Special Care Disclosure Act, which requires a written description of the program's philosophy, staffing, training and activities. Ask for that disclosure document.

How do families pay for Sheridan at Oak Brook?

Private pay covers most stays, typically from savings, retirement income or a home sale. If your parent holds long-term care insurance, ask the community to complete the claim paperwork — most policies cover licensed assisted living after an elimination period. VA Aid and Attendance can add a monthly pension benefit for eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses.

For Medicaid, Illinois uses the Supportive Living Program rather than paying assisted living rent directly, and SLP communities are certified separately by HFS — confirm with Sheridan at Oak Brook whether it participates before counting on it. For free benefits counseling, contact the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging.

How much does memory care at a community like Sheridan at Oak Brook cost?

Sheridan at Oak Brook doesn't publish its rates to IDPH, so we don't list a price for it. For context, memory care across the Chicago metro typically runs $5,500–$8,000 a month in 2026, with regular assisted living lower at $4,500–$6,500 a month.

Ask for an all-in monthly figure in writing for your parent's actual care level, what triggers a level-of-care increase, and the annual increase history. Illinois' Medicaid alternative to assisted living, the Supportive Living Program (SLP) run by HFS, is separately certified — ask Sheridan at Oak Brook directly whether it participates.

How should families evaluate Sheridan at Oak Brook?

Treat the IDPH record for Sheridan at Oak Brook as the floor, not the finish line. It proves the establishment is licensed for the care it offers; it can't tell you how a Tuesday night shift actually runs. Visit twice, once unannounced, and watch a mealtime.

For a dementia placement, ask to see the Alzheimer unit itself: how it is secured, the staff-to-resident ratio inside it, the dementia training staff completed, and the written criteria for moving a resident from regular assisted living into the special care unit.

What should you ask on a tour of Sheridan at Oak Brook?

Bring questions that test what the brochure can't. These are tailored to Sheridan at Oak Brook's license:
