About Downers Grove Senior Living in Downers Grove, Illinois

Downers Grove Senior Living, located at 3460 Saratoga Avenue in Downers Grove, IL, offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and dedicated Memory Care services. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped campus, the community serves around 66 residents, laid out across thoughtfully designed spaces—Independent Living apartments on the lower level, Assisted Living on the main floor, and Memory Care upstairs. From studio to one-bedroom layouts, homes feature private kitchenettes, convenient in-unit laundry services, and emergency systems for peace of mind. The second paragraph highlights amenities and services: Residents enjoy a vibrant, supportive lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. A full-service salon and barber shop, fitness center, and arts‑and‑crafts room provide daily enrichment, while on-site housekeeping, laundry (for linens and clothing), and scheduled resident and guest parking ease everyday routines. Life is active here—with group fitness classes, games, music sessions, book clubs, garden walks on the lovely patio, and frequent offsite excursions. Daily chef-prepared meals are offered in a restaurant-style dining room, with in-room kitchenettes available for more private dining. The community graciously accommodates special diets—such as diabetic, Kosher, and vegetarian—and welcomes guests at mealtimes. What sets Downers Grove Senior Living apart is its compassionate, holistic approach. A chaplain offers spiritual and emotional support, and around‑the‑clock nursing and memory-care-trained staff ensure safety and personalized care plans tailored to each resident’s goals. Technology-supported fall‑risk monitoring adds another layer of protection. Situated just a short walk from Doerhoefer Park—featuring walking trails, tennis and bocce courts, and well-lit green spaces—the location encourages outdoor activity and community engagement. Nearby, residents can explore local shopping, dining venues, pharmacies, and medical offices, enhancing both convenience and connection.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My brother moved in. Their community is great. Everyone is friendly, from the staff to the residents. The nurses, CNAs, and everyone are just fantastic. He's got a nice room. It's a nice size for him, but I wish it were a little bit bigger (I guess that's just me). I would prefer that it were a little bit bigger and that it had more of a kitchen-type layout. It has a cabinet area and a countertop, and he can put his microwave there, but I wish there was a sink where he can wash some little dishes if he has some. Overall, it's still a nice room. He has been participating in some of their activities. I know he plays bingo, and then they've had movie nights (he goes to that). They have little events sometimes, and they have one coming up soon at the end of this month on the 26th. They are going to have an event where families can come and stuff like that, which is good. I don't think he likes the food. He's picky. He wants to eat what he wants to eat. He is diabetic too, so he doesn't care for the food. He has no choice, though, but I think it's delicious. Not that I've eaten any, but I can tell when the cook/the chef puts it out, it looks good and smells good to me. I know that there are other elderly people there who have to be cared for and can't control themselves. They have to go to the bathroom and stuff like that, and so it feels like every time I'm walking to go down to my brother's hall to go to his room, it reeks of urine. You can just smell it, and I don't know if that's because they haven't cleaned, or maybe when I come, there's nobody there to clean it. During the week, I couldn't smell it, but definitely when I go on Saturday mornings or Sunday, I can smell it as soon as I come in the door.

I visited this facility

I went here. I was waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. When I saw the person, he was in a hurry. So, he quickly gave me a folder and showed me a room, and that was it. He showed me a studio. It was open. It was nice, but that's all they showed me. It's modern. It was beautiful, including the grounds and the facility, and there were a lot of parking spots and handicapped spots. The staffing, wonderful nurses, and CNAs were friendly and attentive to the residents.
