Longstanding senior living community enters new chapter as monthly rental with new trusted management partner, expanded amenities, and renewed commitment to resident-centered living.
BARTLETT, IL (June 30, 2025) – Just in time for Independence Day, one of Bartlett’s most established senior living communities is celebrating a new beginning. Formerly The Oaks at Bartlett, the newly renamed Hearthwood Senior Living (www.hearthwoodseniorliving.com) marks its next chapter with new ownership, a traditional rental model, and management by Life Care Services (LCS) — the nation’s most awarded operator of senior living communities.
After 17 years in Bartlett, Hearthwood remains deeply rooted in the neighborhood, now emerging from bankruptcy with financial stability, operational enhancements, and a revitalized vision for the future. Residents are now no longer required to pay large, upfront entrance fees to live at Hearthwood Senior Living, making it the only rental community in Bartlett, IL, providing a full continuum of care.
To celebrate this new chapter, Hearthwood Senior Living will debut its new identity at the Bartlett Fourth of July Festival, where community members can stop by the Hearthwood tent to meet the team, pick up summer giveaways, and learn more about Hearthwood’s personalized approach to senior living.
“The community has always been about connection and care,” said Tammy Holzer, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hearthwood Senior Living. “Today, we’re building on that legacy by creating freedom and choice for our residents — our new rental approach removes large upfront costs and long-term contracts, while still providing the full continuum of care and services,” she added.
Hearthwood’s traditional rental model eliminates large, upfront entrance fees and riskier long-term financial commitments often associated with full continuum senior living communities. Instead, residents enjoy the convenience and flexibility of a simple monthly rental structure, allowing them to adapt as their needs change while preserving their financial freedom. This structure offers an accessible pathway to high-quality senior living without sacrificing care, service, or lifestyle.
Independent Living with Access to Full Continuum of Care and Services
Hearthwood offers a full spectrum of living options designed to meet residents wherever they are in life’s journey: Independent Living Apartments include one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences with patios or balconies, underground heated parking, and convenient access to community amenities. The Cottage Neighborhood offers private, two-bedroom homes with garages, patios, and generous square footage — ideal for residents who want privacy with the advantages of community living. Assisted Living & Memory Care features residential-style neighborhoods offering private suites, tailored daily programming, and person-centered support. Hearthwood’s comprehensive Health Center offers skilled nursing with both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
Trusted Management Partner
Hearthwood is managed by Life Care Services (LCS), the nation’s most awarded senior living management company. LCS has earned #1 in resident satisfaction among independent senior living providers for six consecutive years in the J.D. Power U.S. Senior Living Satisfaction Study. Most recently, LCS was recognized for leading in all six key factors of resident satisfaction, including dining, lifestyle programs, staffing, apartment living, and value of services received.
Resident-Centered Living
Hearthwood Senior Living features wellness programs, intergenerational activities, creative arts, volunteer projects, and a full calendar of resident-driven activities — all set against the backdrop of Bartlett’s beautiful natural surroundings. Located on 37 scenic acres, Hearthwood’s amenities include a restaurant-style dining room, heated indoor pool, fitness studio, club rooms, arts and crafts studio, pub/lounge, chapel, walking paths, beauty salon, guest suites, and intergenerational programs with local colleges and universities.
