The Division of Assisted Living regulates the performance of these communities in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lake Bluff

  • The village of Lake Bluff has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in neighboring Lake Forest, Illinois.

Seniors age 65 and older qualify for discounted rates, and free tickets are available for members of the Illinois Circuit Breaker program.

The Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Senior Citizens Foundation provides these shared transportation services as well as taxi vouchers for seniors who prefer to travel alone.
