A Wonderful Active Lifestyle
Our wonderful activities program includes all kinds of programs – some educational, some social, others cultural and still others, devoted to nurturing the spirit and soul. Our staff works closely together with residents to decide upon and coordinate the specific activities. From scenic drives and shopping expeditions to our Gourmet Club, which takes in a variety of local restaurants offering different cuisine, we strive to offer something for everyone. We even have local artists who come into our community to help enhance our residents’ innate artistic abilities – and offer drumming for those who enjoy this popular activity. Even our exercise program is varied – and offers several advanced courses, including Hawaiian dance and Zumba classes. A trip downtown to go shopping, a visit to the zoo, a night at the movies or the casino – the possibilities for fun, socialization and education are endless!
Partnering with the Local Neighborhood Community
Every month, we invite our family members, along with residents in Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, LaGrange and surrounding neighborhoods, to attend a wide variety of special events, held right here at our community. Through our education program, we bring in all kinds of professionals – financial planners, lawyers, home care and hospice agencies, and representatives from the Veterans Association. We also offer fun, family-oriented events, such as car shows, picnics, haunted houses, caroling, Hawaiian dancers, Casino nights, as well as other entertainers – again open the general public.
Strong, Caring Professional Relationships
We partner with a wide range of healthcare providers, home health and hospice agencies and physician specialists. All outside caregivers are welcome to provide services right here, on site. Family members are always welcome to choose whichever caregiver they would like – or we can make suggestions if necessary. In addition, we work closely with all third-party caregivers that provide services here at our community, ensuring that our nursing staff is kept current with the resident’s health status.
Fine Dining
We strive to create a pleasant dining experience that encourages independence and offers residents the highest quality cuisine. In fact, our meals are made by our highly trained chefs, who use “from scratch” recipes. All meals are served restaurant style, utilizing contrasting colors in linens and china to help our residents – especially those with memory impairments – more easily distinguish the food on their plates. This is just one example of how we help promote independence.
In addition, we work with a consulting dietitian to help those residents who have special dietary needs, with our Certified Dietary Manager overseeing the meals being prepared and served. To encourage proper fluid intake and nutrition, we offer comprehensive hydration and nutrition programs that center on the healthiest preparation of foods. Our food service committee also gives our dietary staff great suggestions for special menus, and each month, our chef prepares a wonderful birthday lunch for all residents having a birthday that month.
