Charter Senior Living of Shiloh stands as a single-story building in Shiloh, IL, in the 62221 area of Saint Clair County, built back in 1994 and offering many choices for older adults, with studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, so people can find what fits their style and budget, and since the building's on one level, the place is easier to move around, especially for folks who might not want to deal with stairs or elevators. The community welcomes pets, which makes it nice for people who want to bring their four-legged friends, and outside there's an idyllic pond with a private dock, plus comfortable spots under the covered porch for sitting and watching the day go by, and you'll often find residents using the walking paths or joining outdoor programs.
Inside, the place has lots of areas to spend time, including a cafe, fitness and wellness rooms, a library, a movie night area, and spacious community rooms where people gather for recreation, entertainment, or activities from a full social calendar, like craft corner or meditations, rhythm and motion fitness classes, and even outings to local shops and restaurants. The resident-run activities program and a business room let people stay as busy or relaxed as they want. Meals get prepared by a professional chef, with three meals every day and menu options that consider special dietary needs, and folks also get weekly housekeeping and laundry, plus access to high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, furnished living spaces, and private bathrooms.
