Mattoon Tower

Mattoon Tower is a senior apartment building in a quiet area near Mattoon Peterson Park and downtown Mattoon, Illinois, welcoming adults who are 62 or older, with one- and two-bedroom residences, some designed for wheelchair access, and apartments also available for people with disabilities or physical handicaps. The community offers independent and assisted living care, with staff helping residents with daily activities, medication, personal care, and meal services, plus options for respite care when caregivers need a break, and the facilities can cover more intensive needs like therapy, rehabilitation, incontinence care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory support, so there's a wide range of assistance available, and at the same time, people can stay on their own if they want to. Residents can use Dial-a-Ride public transportation for medical appointments and errands, with pick-up right outside the community entrance, and there's a parking lot for those who drive. There are plenty of common spaces-like a kitchen for group cooking and activities, a multipurpose area for events, a fitness center, a game room, an arts and crafts center, TV lounges, outdoor spaces, and a library for reading. Laundry rooms are available to everyone, plus an online portal for making payments and service requests. There are pet-friendly rules allowing cats and dogs within weight limits, so folks can have their small animals with them. Bath tubs and air conditioning are part of the room features, and some rooms have view options. The staff is around to help with building maintenance, safety, and home-related concerns, while residents have chances to join social, educational, and entertaining activities to keep everyone connected and active. The community tries to offer kindness and support while respecting personal dignity, whether someone wants friends, just needs a little help, or has more demanding care needs. There's a professional leasing team for unit information and tours, and rent subsidies are available for those who qualify through the Federal Government, plus a current offer of three months of free rent with a new lease signed by June 1, 2025. Mattoon Tower makes it possible for seniors to choose how much help they want and aims to make daily living simple, comfortable, and safe.
