Green Oaks Senior Living in Libertyville, Ill., recently welcomed its first residents.

The 200,000-square-foot community is one of five senior living communities in the greater Chicago area managed by Spectrum Retirement Communities.

On the site’s 15 acres, residents can choose from nearly 200 apartments, which vary in size from studios to two-bedroom, two-bath residences and cottages that surround one of the on-site lakes. The community offers the full spectrum of care, including independent living, assisted living, and resident-directed memory care apartments.

A number of gardens surround the community, and one of the site’s two lakes offers a fishing pier built from bricks from the 80-year-old nursery building. Amenities include chef-prepared, on-demand dining; exercise and wellness programs; and staff-planned trips and events.
