About Atrium at Oak Crest Residence

As a member of the Elgin, Illinois, community for over a century, Atrium at Oak Creek Residence is thrilled to provide care to seniors of the greater Chicago area. We were founded in 1904 and sit right on the Fox River on a beautifully shaded campus with gorgeous oak trees and Central Park just across the street. We are a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide person-centered care and lead with our core values of holistic wellness, total personalization, dignity, encouragement, and acceptance. Community Amenities and Services We offer a variety of services and are committed to creating a care plan that suits your needs. We offer independent living in the Atrium, assisted living in Oak Crest, vacation and recuperation care at Thrive, adult day care, and memory care. Our memory care unit is tried and true and has been developed by the Oak Creek organization. We keep the dignity and independence of our residents at the center of everything we do. We are also well-equipped to handle ambulatory, incontinence, and diabetic care as well as medication management. Whether you are entering our residence for respite care or hospice, we provide the same commitment to providing you with all the care you need. A large part of our mission is to care for residents’ spirits as well as their bodies! With a variety of on-site and off-site activities, residents can explore hobbies, join groups, listen to speakers, and go on outings. Grab a drink with family and friends at our on-site Cellar Pub, or make one of your favorite recipes in our Family Kitchen. Paint like Picasso in Mary’s Assembly Hall, or watch your favorite film on George’s Stage. Pick up the necessities at The Corner of Tidbits & Trends Store, and get your beard trimmed or your nails painted at The Spa. With so many activities to choose from, your loved ones will ask to come over and visit often! Living Arrangements Our beautiful New England style estate is where comfort and luxury meet to provide a tranquil yet engaging environment.

All private residences are bathed in natural light and are outfitted with cozy, inviting furniture and decor. They are equipped with kitchenettes, bathrooms are wheelchair accessible, and cable or satellite TV is offered. Please reach out to us with any questions about the Atrium at Oak Creek Residence!

Our experience

The community is awesome in all areas but there is not much to do as walking or other activities. What really stood out to us was the security, the great food and the awesome people. It has a comfortable atmosphere.

Cozy home away from home!!!

The facility is clean, friendly staff, clean rooms. Patients can have comfort animals, i.e. dogs and cats. it's a home away from home. They have their independence they have their independence while enjoying knowing someone is onsite to assist if emergency arise. My mom is comfortable and that is a task I thought would never be possible... The cost is reasonable compared to other locations.

Atrium at Oak Crest Residence

Lacking in staff, communication at times and not much for them to do Overall I would recommend them. At this point my mom is happy and it is a smaller community which she really likes.

Perfect Fit

My 96 year old aunt receives excellent care. A pleasant environment for many. Very clean and welcoming. Participation in activities is left up to the resident. Would highly recommend for family members needing assistance. [name removed] and staff are very accommodating to residents needs.
