The Oak Park Arms is an independent living and assisted living retirement community located in Oak Park, Illinois on Oak Park Ave. The Oak Park Arms was built in 1921[1] by Arthur E. Lorenz and was a luxury hotel and residence that hosted gala weddings and was host to many movie stars who stayed there as guests.[2] In the mid 1970's, the Oak Park Arms was purchased and converted into a retirement community for seniors.

The Oak Park Township Senior Services, The Lifelong Learning Center of Oak Park - River Forest are both located inside the Oak Park Arms. More than ten other providers of senior-centered care maintain offices at the Oak Park Arms.[3]
