“We had an incredible turnout to kick off our summer, and we can't wait to welcome our neighbors back to the Arms for this spectacular July performance,” said Renee Steingard, director of leasing and resident engagement at the Oak Park Arms. “The energy and community connection at these events are truly special. While we are looking forward to a beautiful night under the summer sky, our historic ballroom stands ready as a backup location so the music, dancing, and fun can continue regardless of the weather.”

A licensed home care agency is onsite to provide support services for seniors. Furnished apartments are also available for short-term stays. \n\nThe Oak Park Arms began as a famous luxury hotel in the 1920’s. In the mid-1970’s, the Arms was purchased by two military veterans who wanted to create active retirement living in a community that would stand apart from others in both service and spirit. Now with more than 45 years of experience, the Oak Park Arms has been the leader of senior living and the model in developing other senior communities combining exceptional senior care in an ideal setting. The original vision continues to this day as The Arms is still owned and operated by the same two men who created it. They remain involved and committed to excellence. Their strong support for the management staff ensures that The Arms continues its legacy of distinction. The Arms provides office space for many other providers of senior-centered care including: a home care agency, an adult day care program, physical and occupational therapy provider, internal medicine physician, and a podiatrist. In addition to senior centered care, an intergenerational preschool is housed within the community creating opportunities for senior residents to volunteer at the preschool and interact with the children during organized activities. https://www.oakparkarms.com/"
