The Indigo at Elmhurst

Indigo

 A Montessori Memory Care Community That Feels Like Home

Tucked into a charming Elmhurst neighborhood,
The Indigo at Elmhurst is redefining memory care with a warm, purposeful approach inspired by Montessori principles. For individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, this philosophy celebrates abilities rather than limitations—helping residents live with dignity, connection, and joy.

“At The Indigo at Elmhurst, we focus on making each moment meaningful. Our Indigo WINGS program helps Memory Care residents stay independent and feel supported every day,” shares Sharon Oidem, Sales Coordinator.

At Indigo, every detail is designed to spark engagement and meaning. The Montessori method invites residents to participate in daily life—setting the table for lunch, arranging fresh flowers, or caring for our vibrant courtyard garden. Activities aren’t just “scheduled events” here; they are purposeful moments woven into the rhythm of the day, creating a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

The setting itself is both beautiful and intentional. Light-filled common areas, secure outdoor courtyards, and intimate household-style neighborhoods create comfort and familiarity while fostering safety and independence. The Indigo feels like home in every way—warm, familiar, and filled with life.

With its strong ties to the Elmhurst community, The Indigo often partners with local organizations and hosts open-house events, inviting neighbors in to see firsthand what makes this residence so unique.

Our compassionate team members know each resident’s personal story, preferences, and strengths. With individualized care plans, chef-prepared meals, and 24/7 support, residents receive the attention they deserve, while still having the freedom to make choices and explore interests. Families, too, find comfort here. We provide resources, education, and open communication to support loved ones along the journey.

For those needing temporary care, Indigo also offers respite stays—perfect for recovery after an illness, transitioning between care settings, or simply giving family caregivers time to rest and recharge.

Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”
