Alexi Senior Living sits at 6301 Lincoln Highway in Matteson, Illinois, right near Frankfort, and it's only been around for about two years, so the place has a fresh, clean feel that's easy to notice when you walk in, and you see that staff members are new and eager to help, which sometimes means things move a bit slow, but you can tell they're trying hard to make everyone comfortable. The community offers several levels of care, such as independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, all under one roof, so folks don't have to move if their needs change over time, and families can feel better about their loved ones staying put. Residents can choose between 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom furnished units, and there are private, semi-private, and model rooms to look at, which is nice for seeing options before making decisions, and small pets are allowed, so people don't have to leave their companions behind if that's important.
The facility has 55 units and follows age restrictions for residents, with secure areas and locked memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or other memory conditions, including programs to prevent wandering and activities meant to engage memory and reduce confusion. Residents in memory care get personalized care plans and 24-hour support, which is good for families already worried about safety, and the staff keeps the environment structured but still cheerful and friendly. Throughout the building, there are cozy family rooms, a dining bistro, and common living areas where people gather to share meals or just spend time together, and there's an outdoor garden, a spa, and a fitness center, which gives folks a few more ways to stay active if they're able.
Alexi Senior Living tailors a full calendar with programs, events, and activities to keep residents involved, plus there's scheduled transportation for shopping, errands, or appointments. The community takes care of meals with on-site kitchenettes, restaurant-style dining, and meal prep, and handles the other day-to-day needs like laundry-staff does it, or residents use self-serve machines-housekeeping, and linen services, so people aren't rushing around for chores. Services include help with bathing and dressing, medication management, transfers, and other things many folks need as they age, and there's also a nurse on staff for healthcare needs.
There are property features like guest parking, controlled access, wheelchair and handicap accessibility, and options for short-term stay or respite care to give caregivers a break. The community allows residents to pay with private funds, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Administration benefits, and costs vary depending on how much care a person needs. Alexi Senior Living is owned and run by Alzheimer's Speaks LLC and has a digital space with a resource directory, a blog about dementia, transitioning to senior living, and related topics, plus a member-only library, online tours, and an area to add events. The environment aims to help everyone feel welcomed, stay active, and make connections, blending privacy and independence with support for day-to-day life, all in one place designed to help seniors stay comfortable and cared for.
