IDPH licenses Sunrise of Park Ridge for 110 assisted living units: 71 regular assisted living units, 39 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units. About 35% 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 Sunrise of Park Ridge is KARRINGTON OF PARK RIDGE OPCO, LLC. IDPH shows 4 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning October 1, 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.
None are posted. As of October 23, 2026, the IDPH public lookup lists no survey reports, violations or enforcement actions for Sunrise of Park Ridge. 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.

By licensed size, Sunrise of Park Ridge is larger than most assisted living establishments in Cook County: its 110 assisted living units rank #12 of 84 establishments with published unit counts, against a county median of 66. Metro-wide it ranks #29 of 228.
73% of Cook County establishments list Alzheimer units, 1855 in total; Sunrise of Park Ridge's 39 make up 2% 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.
IDPH's online system shows 4 license periods for Sunrise of Park Ridge, beginning October 1, 2023. 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.
Sunrise of Park Ridge 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.
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 Sunrise of Park Ridge whether it participates before counting on it. For free benefits counseling, contact AgeOptions.
Sunrise of Park Ridge 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 Sunrise of Park Ridge directly whether it participates.
Start with the license: confirm license 5107310 is active in the IDPH lookup and that the unit type your parent needs is on it. Then judge staffing, not décor — the overnight caregiver ratio, caregiver turnover in the last year, and how long the administrator has been in place.
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.
