Nestled along the Fox River in the heart of McHenry County, the city of McHenry is 46 miles northwest of downtown Chicago near the communities of Crystal Lake, Johnsburg, Round Lake, Wonder Lake and Woodstock. Designed to serve adults 65 and older of all incomes who may need some help to maintain their independence, Heritage Woods of McHenry provides a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home, especially for those who cannot afford private pay assisted living. The community is fully certified to operate through the Illinois Supportive Living Program and is managed by Gardant Management Solutions, the largest provider of assisted living in Illinois, since 2008.
