Senior Suites of New City sits at 4845 S Western Blvd in Chicago, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, giving older adults a place to live where they can feel comfortable and secure, and it serves people aged 55 and up, though most apartments are for those 62 and older. This community has 110 studio and one-bedroom apartments, each with a full kitchen that has a refrigerator, range, and oven, so residents can prepare meals, but there's also an optional weekday meal service for those who'd rather not cook. The building is pet-friendly, so some pets are allowed, and there are wide hallways with handrails, plus elevators, and other safety features like emergency pull cords and daily electronic check-ins, which help with peace of mind, especially for people who live alone or need extra help now and then. There are semi-private and private units available, with affordable rents that depend on income and which follow HUD guidelines, so it can be easier for people on fixed incomes who want to stay in their own neighborhood.
You'll find common rooms like a club lounge, library, dining room, and community room, and there are places for watching TV or relaxing, while outside there's a patio and garden so residents can sit outdoors or join in on barbeques and group activities. On each floor, there are free laundry facilities, so people don't have to carry loads too far, and the apartments have individually controlled heating and air conditioning, which means everyone can set their space how they like it. Weekly housekeeping comes with the rent, and private pay cleaning is sometimes available if people want even more help. Skilled nursing care is available on-site for those who need advanced medical support, along with assisted living and memory care services for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, so older adults don't have to move if they need more help down the road. For those looking to get out, there are regular group outings, shopping trips, and one can join in on activities like game nights, Nintendo Wii bowling, and other social events that help residents feel connected.
The Wellness Everyday program helps residents stay active, with special attention to wellness and movement, and there's scheduled transportation for groceries, which really helps if driving isn't practical anymore. For safety, the building uses keyless entry and has staff checking in daily, while rooms are built for easy access, with walk-in showers and grab bars in bathrooms. The housing is wheelchair accessible, and both parking and garage space are provided, though residents should confirm the details since not everything is spelled out ahead of time. Senior Suites of New City also supports LGBTQ legal protections and follows fair rental policies, making sure all residents feel they belong. People can find both quiet and activity, with gardens, a recreation room, and scheduled programs for wellness and social life, making it a stable and friendly option for seniors who want to stay affordable, safe, and part of their local community as they age.
