Alexian Village of Elk Grove is a supportive living community run by Pathway Senior Living that serves adults 65 and older in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, right next to Alexian Brothers Medical Center. The community has 114 apartments, with choices like private studio, adjoining studio, and two-bedroom, two-bath supportive living units. Residents can decorate their own apartments with favorite things from home, and the rooms have cable, internet, and kitchenettes. The property stays clean and homey, and people say the food is good, earning a 4-star rating for both.
The staff gives assisted living services for people who need help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, but this facility isn't a nursing home and doesn't offer skilled nursing care. The Director of Nursing is a registered nurse, and a full team of nurses, CNAs, social workers, therapists, and food service workers are always around. The staff aims to give gentle and respectful care that puts safety, comfort, and dignity first, especially when helping people in memory care with Alzheimer's or dementia.
The community cares about keeping life active with its award-winning VIVA! philosophy, which tries to support physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Programs like Encore music, Victory Gardens horticulture therapy, and Lifelong Learning groups give residents regular chances to try something new. The schedule includes lectures, educational activities, book club, exercise programs, story time, and guest speakers, and there's always something going on both in the building and on trips around town. Residents enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces, such as patios, gardens, a community dining room, living room with a fireplace, a library with computers, and a community life/activity room. Kids visiting have a playground, and the grounds include gardens for anyone who wants to help out with plants.
Meals are served restaurant-style, with cuisine that often uses local ingredients, and there's guest access at meal times. Residents also have free transportation, parking, laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and in-house barber and beautician services. Rooms and common spaces are wired for cable and internet, and the building has elevators and wheelchair-accessible showers. Religious services take place onsite, and the facility supports people of different faiths.
Residents can join music groups, gardening, Tai Chi, yoga or chair yoga, and recreation room activities, and people are welcome to keep some pets in their apartments. The community also supports those recovering from serious illnesses like sepsis, with physical therapy and help from the onsite health care center. Although Alexian Village accepts Medicaid as part of the supportive living model, it focuses mostly on independence in a safe and friendly setting. The Pathway to Living program tries to help everyone find joy and stay connected, with staff that makes the environment welcoming and calm, and there's ongoing effort to keep improving after a recent change in management from the previous company.
People in this community can expect a place where daily needs are met without pressure, with services like extended care, counseling, hospice support, and opportunities for personal growth through regular activities. Residents are encouraged to be part of events like the Autumn Gourd Fest or take part in service projects that help local organizations. The all-inclusive setup for pricing makes it easier for families to know what's covered, and state licensing ensures a certain standard of care and cleanliness is always kept. This is a comfortable, supportive place, especially for adults who value staying active in spirit and community as well as body.
