IDPH licenses Smith Village for 87 assisted living units: 58 regular assisted living units, 24 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units, 5 floating units. About 28% of the licensed units are dedicated to Alzheimer's care, so dementia support is a meaningful part of its program.
Illinois licenses assisted living by living unit rather than by bed. An Alzheimer unit belongs to a special care program for people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, which the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295 hold to added staffing, training and environment requirements. IDPH also shows some units as “floating”; ask how those are assigned between regular and dementia care.
The licensee of record for Smith Village is THE WASHINGTON AND JANE SMITH COMMUNITY-BEVERLY. IDPH shows 4 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning June 23, 2023, and no change-of-ownership record at this address.
IDPH's online system only reaches back to its 2023 migration, so a community can be licensed far longer than the earliest period shown; ask the community when it first opened.
None are posted. As of October 23, 2026, the IDPH public lookup lists no survey reports, violations or enforcement actions for Smith Village. That reflects what IDPH publishes online, not a guarantee that no survey has taken place.
Ask the administrator for the most recent IDPH survey and any plan of correction — establishments receive them and can share them. To raise a concern, call IDPH's Central Complaint Registry at 1-800-252-4343, or reach the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program through the Illinois Department on Aging Senior HelpLine at 1-800-252-8966.

By licensed size, Smith Village is larger than most assisted living establishments in Cook County: its 87 assisted living units rank #24 of 84 establishments with published unit counts, against a county median of 66. Metro-wide it ranks #65 of 228.
73% of Cook County establishments list Alzheimer units, 1855 in total; Smith Village's 24 make up 1% of the county's licensed dementia capacity. Size isn't quality — a smaller building can mean more consistent staff — but it shapes the feel of daily life, the range of activities, and how likely an opening is when you need one.
IDPH's online system shows 4 license periods for Smith Village, beginning June 23, 2023. Illinois assisted living licenses run for one year and are renewed annually, so an unbroken chain of periods is what a well-run renewal history looks like. The licensed unit mix has stayed the same across these periods.
Illinois assisted living establishments are licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295. In practice that means a written residency contract that spells out services and fees, an individualized service plan, staff on site around the clock, and an annual unannounced IDPH visit.
The Act also limits who can live in assisted living. Generally, an establishment can't admit or keep a resident who needs 24-hour skilled nursing, total assistance with two or more activities of daily living, or care for serious pressure sores, outside narrow exceptions such as hospice. Ask how Smith Village applies those limits before you sign.
Because the license lists Alzheimer units, the dementia program must also meet the Act's special care unit requirements and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Special Care Disclosure Act, which requires a written description of the program's philosophy, staffing, training and activities. Ask for that disclosure document.
Most families pay privately — savings, pension and Social Security income, or proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance usually reimburses licensed assisted living once a policy's benefit trigger is met, so check the elimination period. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a pension supplement that can be applied to rent.
For Medicaid, Illinois uses the Supportive Living Program rather than paying assisted living rent directly, and SLP communities are certified separately by HFS — confirm with Smith Village whether it participates before counting on it. For free benefits counseling, contact the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Senior Services.
Smith Village doesn't publish its rates to IDPH, so we don't list a price for it. For context, memory care across the Chicago metro typically runs $5,500–$8,000 a month in 2026, with regular assisted living lower at $4,500–$6,500 a month.
Ask for an all-in monthly figure in writing for your parent's actual care level, what triggers a level-of-care increase, and the annual increase history. Illinois' Medicaid alternative to assisted living, the Supportive Living Program (SLP) run by HFS, is separately certified — ask Smith Village directly whether it participates.
The most useful thing about Smith Village's public record is how precisely it lets you ask questions. Bring the license number, unit counts and licensee name to the tour and ask staff to explain how each applies to your parent.
For a dementia placement, ask to see the Alzheimer unit itself: how it is secured, the staff-to-resident ratio inside it, the dementia training staff completed, and the written criteria for moving a resident from regular assisted living into the special care unit.
Bring questions that test what the brochure can't. These are tailored to Smith Village's license:
