Once upon a time, Buffalo Grove was a small community of homesteaders and land speculators who wanted to establish a “good place” to live. These pioneers were not unlike the founders of Belmont Village who, following years of careful planning, established a facility that was a “good place” for assisted living. True to its roots, Belmont Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois celebrates the vision of its founders.
Our community is located in an attractive residential suburb in northwest Chicago, convenient to numerous shopping malls, healthcare facilities and places of worship for our diverse population. In addition to walking trails on the grounds, there are nearby parks, farms, museums and the historic village of Long Grove for all to explore. Our community also benefits from very supportive families, who live and work in the area. Together with Belmont’s well-trained and energetic team of professionals, a sense of kinship is created that benefits everyone in the community.
When residents need help with medications and other hands-on assistance, Belmont Village is ready to provide support with a licensed nurse on-site to administer medications, perform wellness checks, communicate with physicians, and attend to any health concerns that may arise. Working closely with families and personal physicians, we develop a personal life plan that respects each resident’s needs, abilities, and wealth of experiences.
