Atria Park of Glen Ellyn offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care in one campus, and the place has care options for seniors with different needs, whether someone wants to be more independent or needs full support. The community's Life Guidance memory care program is specifically for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and it's in a secure, separate building with safety features like bracelet alarms and a wander alert system so folks don't get lost. Apartments come in studios, one-bedrooms, and shared suites, and they include things like kitchenettes, walk-in showers, individual thermostats, housekeeping, maintenance, and all the utilities. There's a nurse on-site all day and all night, and there's a doctor on call, so staff can help with things like oxygen, insulin, diabetes, CPAP devices, and most personal care, including both light and heavy support, even for people who need help moving or reminders to use the bathroom. Staff can help people with more complex needs, like those who wander, have behavioral concerns, or need special diets, offering everything from pureed meals to gluten-free, vegetarian, or diabetic-friendly options.
The campus has indoor and outdoor areas where residents can gather, including wraparound porches, patios, and gardens with walking paths, and pets like cats and dogs are allowed. Multiple dining venues serve chef-prepared meals and anytime dining, and people can choose restaurant-style or private dining rooms. The activity calendar's busy, with classes in art, brain fitness, cooking, stretching, Tai Chi, yoga, karaoke, gardening, wine tastings, pet events, community service programs, and trivia, plus group trips and intergenerational programs, and the Engage Life program focuses on helping people keep learning and connecting. There are also wellness classes, devotional services both on and off-site, and a beautician for residents. The facility has staff with many years of experience, and it's won awards for care and activity programs, but right now, the building is closed at all hours, so it's best to check on the current status before planning a visit or move. Atria Park of Glen Ellyn's parent organization, Atria Senior Living, runs senior communities across the U.S. and Canada and employs a large, trained staff. The building is set up with special safety plans for storms or sickness and is a licensed, verified community with modern amenities like Wi-Fi, handicap access, inviting common spaces, a front desk, secured entrances, and emergency response programs to keep residents safe. Apartment rates are rental-based and don't include care or phone, cable, or internet. Because unit availability can change, a deposit might be needed to secure an apartment.
