Life at Clarendale of Algonquin is designed around comfort, flexibility, and genuine connection. Nestled in the heart of Algonquin, Illinois, our community offers both independent living (IL) and assisted living (AL) so residents can enjoy a lifestyle that suits their needs today—with the confidence that added support is available tomorrow if it’s ever needed.

What is Independent Living?

At our community, independent living provides the freedom to enjoy life without the burden of daily household chores. This option is perfect for active older adults who want a low-maintenance lifestyle while staying socially connected and engaged.

What is Assisted Living?

Assisted living combines the same vibrant atmosphere of IL with additional personalized support. Assisted living is ideal for those who want to preserve their independence while gaining peace of mind from daily support and oversight.

Both IL and AL options are designed to make life easier, more connected, and more enjoyable. Want to explore which option best fits your stage of life? Check out the full article for a deeper look at the differences between independent living and assisted living.
