Welcome

HERITAGE WOODS OF DEKALB IS YOUR AFFORDABLE ASSISTED LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY LOCATED ON ANNIE GLIDDEN ROAD, NORTH OF THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, BETWEEN I-88 AND HWY 64. 

Originally known as Barb City, DeKalb is located near Sycamore in north central Illinois.

Our community provides a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home for older adults who need some help to maintain their independence.

Heritage Woods is designed to serve adults 65 and older of all incomes, and we are located on the same campus as the DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center and the DeKalb County Department of Health.

Especially Designed for You
The two-story building houses 76 studio and one-bedroom apartments and combines the opportunity to enjoy apartment home living with the availability of support services and opportunities for socialization with friends and neighbors and participation of social activities and events.

Each apartment has its own kitchenette, private bathroom with shower, and emergency response system. Community areas include an activity room, beauty/barber shop, convenience store, dining room, exercise room, library, patio and television lounge.

A Wonderful Alternative
Heritage Woods of DeKalb combines residential apartment home living with the availability of personal assistance, support services and opportunities for residents to enjoy the companionship of friends and neighbors and to participate in social events and programs.

The community is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by our compassionate staff of certified nurses assistants, who work under the direction of the community’s licensed nursing staff. Residents receive the personalized assistance they need to compliment their individual abilities.

We place an emphasis on providing residents with the dignity they deserve and on helping each resident maintain as much independence as possible for as long as possible.
