McHenry is an outer suburb of Chicago that is nicknamed “The Heart of the Fox,” due to its location on the Fox River. The city is surrounded by lakes and streams making it a great destination for seniors looking for beautiful natural scenery.
In McHenry, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home is about $4,350 in the state of Illinois. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in McHenry are rated 6 points above the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated above the average.
