Everly House Independent Senior Living Center sits in Macomb, Illinois, where it's been part of the community since 1953, so lots of folks around here know about it, and you can see that right away when you come in and meet the kind staff who are always smiling and seem to know just how to help in a gentle way, making the whole place feel friendly and safe. The building is set up with safety in mind, like medical alert systems, home security, and medication dispensers, plus a 24/7 emergency call system that's answered round the clock, and the staff is always here, day or night.
There are more than 30 apartments, and you get a choice of furnished one-room or two-room suites, or you can bring your own things to make it feel like home, and each apartment comes with individually controlled heat and air conditioning, plus cable television is included. The grounds have a nice landscaped pond for walking and a lovely gazebo, and inside there's a sunroom where residents like to sit, play cards, or have some tea, and there's a library area if you want a quiet spot to read or do puzzles.
Meals are a big part of the day, and the place serves three nutritious, home-cooked meals, planned by chefs, and folks can visit and socialize while eating, and meal planning, shopping, preparation, and dishwashing are all handled for you. Laundry pickup, washing, ironing, and delivery happen every week, and housekeeping services keep the apartments tidy with bed making, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and window washing done for you.
The activity center is always busy thanks to a director who plans crafts, bingo, shopping trips, public outings, and all sorts of group activities to keep people moving and engaged, which does a lot for physical, mental, and social well-being. There's even a beauty salon with a visiting stylist for haircuts and perms, and the Everly House Van takes residents to medical appointments, shopping, or just around town for errands or sights, so being active in the community is easy.
For people who need a little help, support services like home care, assisted living help, medication management, and respite care for short-term stays are available, and the staff can help with daily activities and personal care if needed, always with respect and kindness. Technology is part of daily life here, too, with internet plans, cable options, and a good focus on keeping everyone connected.
Everly House is built on the Everly Trust, meaning it aims to keep quality high for senior residents, and it's proud to have received the Best of Senior Living All Star Award due to all the positive comments from residents and visitors about the care and support they get here.
It's open to people aged 65 and older, and has independent living services designed for seniors who enjoy a maintenance-free, active lifestyle, and if needed, there's also help with transportation, household chores, daily living, and nutritious dining. You can set up a tour to see the rooms, meet the staff and other residents, and get a feel for how folks live and enjoy their days.
Everly House remains a welcoming senior living community with independent housing, security, and the comforts of home, with amenities and activities meant for seniors to feel comfortable, safe, and part of a friendly group.
