Oak Park’s newest senior living community is slated to open in September, and as American House Oak Park at 711 Madison St. is nearing the finish line, we take a look at what the development will bring to the near west suburbs.

Dale Watchowski, president and CEO of American House Senior Living Communities, says one of the hallmarks of American House, which has 70 communities in operation or in development around the country, is the continuum of care the community offers. 

“You can come in as a resident who doesn’t need any type of assistance in our independent living space, and can move up to assisted living with nursing and medical care or to our memory care unit,” Watchowski said. “You can stay throughout your lifestyle.”

To that end, the building is set up to provide a number of different living options through its seven floors. There will be 76 independent living apartments of one or two bedrooms; 66 assisted living spaces, which include studios, one- and two-bedroom units; and 35 memory care units which include studios and some shared options. There will be over 20 different floor plans offered.
