High Point Residence Chicago Northwest

High Point Residence Chicago Northwest sits in a lively Chicago neighborhood where seniors get a mix of independence and support, and the building itself is newly renovated in a prairie-style with large picture windows and classic red brick that you notice right away, and there always seem to be friendly staff around to help whether you're just moving in or you need extra assistance with day-to-day needs like bathing, dressing, medication, or getting around the common areas, which they've made sure are both indoor and outdoor with things like beautifully kept gardens, a terrace with a fountain and a gazebo, and a courtyard where you see people chatting or doing activities together. You'll find both independent living and assisted living choices here, and you can choose from different floor plans like studios, large one- and two-bedroom apartments, each one with full kitchens, plenty of closet space, wall-to-wall carpeting, and accessible bathrooms with roll-in or step-in showers, and there's staff that helps with housekeeping, laundry, and even private housekeeping if you want; plus, those emergency response systems in the apartments give some peace of mind. Seniors who like to stay busy or try new things seem to find lots to do since there are daily programs like arts and crafts, games, music, hobbies, guided outings to local spots like the Brookfield Zoo or Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, and the library and art studio are there if you need some quiet time or inspiration, and then there's the fitness center, yoga and stretching sessions, billiards room, and even worship services on site, so routines can stay as full or as relaxed as you like. Health services go beyond just having a nurse on staff part-time because there's also doctor-on-call coverage, homecare, and help with medication, therapy, and specialized care plans-including memory care programs for those with Alzheimer's and dementia-so people with more advanced needs can still feel comfortable staying here, and if you're a veteran, there's help with VA aid too. Meals get served in a main dining room with restaurant-style food, but if you'd rather stay in, you can have room service or let friends join for a meal since guest meals and guest parking are offered, and you'll notice that transportation services make it easier to get to appointments or join group outings. Pets are welcome and the whole building is designed for easy wheelchair access, which matters for comfort, and there's special touches like a beauty and barber shop, a business center, and even a game room where residents gather throughout the week, while Wi-Fi and cable TV are available in the rooms and common areas. Languages spoken by staff include English and Spanish, which helps more residents feel at home, and staff put together personalized care plans that look out for residents' dignity and well-being by balancing independence with the right level of support. Memory care, respite, hospice, and in-home non-medical care are also part of the community, and the license number for assisted living is 6020836 under the State of Illinois, so families can look up details if they want. It all fits together so seniors-whether needing independent living, extra help, or memory support-can find a spot that feels comfortable, safe, and welcoming, with nice big communal spaces filled with natural light, inviting meals, outings into the city, and a nursing director who keeps an eye on quality and care as people's needs change.
