Assisted Living Help for Naperville Families

Short answer: Assisted living often fits a Naperville parent who is struggling with medicines, meals or bathing but can still get around and call for help. Brad helps you check the fit, compare places near Naperville and plan the move: (630) 835-0355.

Naperville parents often have full calendars: the Riverwalk, church, the grandkids' games. The change is quieter. The car stays in the garage more. The fridge is emptier. A fall in the bathroom didn't get mentioned. Assisted living is for that stage, when life is still good but the house is doing more harm than help.

Rides and errands before a move

Naperville Township helps eligible residents use Ride DuPage for appointments and errands; call (630) 388-4407 to ask about eligibility. If getting around is the main problem, that may buy time. If the problem is meals, medicines and safety, it usually won't.

Signs assisted living may fit

• Medicines missed or mixed up
• Weight loss or skipped meals
• A recent fall, or fear of falling
• Lonely days between visits

After Edward Hospital

Edward Hospital, at 801 S. Washington Street, is where many Naperville discharge decisions start. Ask the team whether short-term rehab comes first, what help they expect at home and the discharge date. Then ask each community how they handle new prescriptions from the hospital.

Comparing places in a big suburb

Naperville spans DuPage and Will counties and has many options. Start with the commute for the family member who'll visit most, then compare written monthly totals at your parent's care level. Our Naperville costs page helps.
