The Sheridan at Tyler Creek sits on 12 acres in Elgin, IL, between I-90 and U.S. Route 20, not too far from the heart of the historic Elgin neighborhood, and you'll notice the building stands tall with its red-brick accents, big windows, and a welcoming entrance that makes it stand out a bit in the area. The community feels comfortable and social with indoor spaces like a library, a piano lounge, a screening room, and a fitness center, plus outdoor spaces with walking paths, gardens, patios, a pond, and places to watch wildlife such as eagles and deer, which many residents enjoy. The Sheridan offers a range of living options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, short-term stays, and skilled nursing, which means people can keep living here even when their needs change. The rooms all have safety features and you can choose different floor plans, from studios and private rooms to two-bedrooms and some semi-private options, and you'll find Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, and washers and dryers, which most find handy. The restaurant-style dining serves chef-made meals with rotating menus along with private dining rooms for gatherings and lots of menu choices for special diets, like diabetic, vegetarian, or kosher needs, and the casual bistro and bar let residents grab a coffee or snack any time.
Care is personalized-there's support for daily activities like dressing, bathing, and medication, and the staff knows about dementia and Alzheimer's care, with memory care programs and activities that help keep people's minds active and routines comfortable, so you'll see scheduled events like yoga, gardening, music, games, book clubs, creative workshops, and regular arts and crafts. Folks get help with housekeeping, laundry, mail, and on-site maintenance, along with transportation for appointments or off-site trips, which helps people stay active. If someone needs medical support such as wound care, nurses, podiatry, occupational therapy, or medication management, these are available on-site as well. There's a fitness center, salon/barbershop, and many conveniences like grocery delivery, plus common areas for socializing indoors and out, including a fireplace lounge, event spaces, and spaces set aside for crafts and hobbies. The grounds are welcoming to pets, so people can bring their animals with them. Security features, handicap accessibility, scheduled devotional services, and friendly staff help make life here safe and comfortable. The community tries hard to build a social and active environment where people can connect, find meaningful activities, and get the help they need if their health changes over time, all in a quiet, well-kept spot that's easy to reach for family visits into Elgin or the Chicago area. The starting price for floor plans begins at $5,560, and everything's bundled together to try to make life simpler for folks as they go about their day.
