Healthcare reform, changing demographics and medical technology have prompted facilities such as Alden of Orland Park and Lexington Health Care of Orland Park, both of which are fully assisted nursing home facilities, to keep pace with market healthcare needs. These facilities offer a continuum of care, from short term, sub-acute care and rehabilitation with discharge to home, to long-term care for chronic disease management.

Brighton Gardens, an assisted living community located in Orland Park, features specialized dementia care, and it provides just the right amount of support and service that balances residents’ desire for independence and their need for assistance.

Smith Crossings’ senior living community has opened in Orland Park on 32 acres in the I-80 Corridor, and it features a number of living options. The $60 million project has 97 units for independent seniors. There are 85 apartments in one building and six other small buildings, each with two units. The main building also has 48 assisted-living units and 29 nursing beds. The facility also includes a 16-unit Alzheimer’s facility. The projects offer residents what is called a continuum of care. The campus has housing for independent seniors and for those who need assistance as well as nursing care. Residents pay an entrance fee, along with a monthly fee. Within the new Orland Park project, seniors there can choose continuing-care housing without moving far away.
