Who they are
You would be applying to Meadowbrook Naperville in Naperville, Illinois 60563. Concrete detail on units, ratios, scheduling, and pay is still thin in what we can show you, so plan to ask directly about the hourly rate, shift pattern, and who you would report to.
More about Meadowbrook Naperville
Naperville itself runs about 4% above the national cost of living, with a flat 4.95% Illinois state income tax. The average commute across the city is about 26 minutes, and Metra BNSF can take you toward Chicago if that matters for your household. Housing stays competitive: well-priced mid-range homes often go under contract in under two weeks. Established single-family neighborhoods commonly land in the $400k–$600k range; places under $400k tend to sit farther from downtown. Some people keep costs down by living in Aurora, Oswego, Montgomery, or Yorkville and driving 30–40 minutes in. Illinois is not a compact-license state, so you will need an Illinois license before your start date. Nearby employers you may also weigh include Endeavor Health, Maxim Healthcare, Vetted Solutions, and Rowan.
