Curtis Creek Senior Living sits on the east end of Quincy, Illinois, near museums and historical sites, and the place sort of feels like a little neighborhood of its own, with walking trails, pretty gardens, and a bunch of outdoor patios where folks can sit and visit or just enjoy the day, and you'll see folks out walking their pets since some small ones are allowed. The apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, each with a kitchenette, private bathroom, emergency call system, individual thermostat, and some are even set up to be fully wheelchair-friendly with walk-in tubs and safety rails-plus, units range in size from about 335 to 975 square feet, so there's enough room whether someone wants cozy or more space. Residents have access to covered and regular parking, a laundry room, and handy services like weekly housekeeping, linen changes, and an on-site beauty salon for a haircut or barber visit, which can make things a bit easier when it comes to daily chores.
Meals get served three times daily in the main community dining room, with open hours from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm at The Underground Restaurant, which has more than 50 menu options, and folks are welcome to bring guests to eat or even stay overnight if family wants to visit, which is a nice touch because it helps people feel at home and keeps families connected. For social time, the place is busy with activities pretty much every day-yeah, there's everything from board games and cards to movie nights and Wii bowling tournaments, along with trips out to Quincy for local events and entertainment, and there's a special volunteer program called Seniors Serving Society where people can give back to the community.
Curtis Creek has a gym, fitness equipment, an activity room, library, computer area, media room, chapel for worship, locked mailboxes, billiards room, and a fireplace lounge-there's cable and WiFi in common areas and apartments, too, and even a business center for those who need to get things done or just want to browse online. For safety, there are smoke alarms, sprinklers, safety rails, and the Lively Mobile Plus emergency response device, which helps in case someone needs help fast. The whole property is non-smoking indoors, and there's security and maintenance staff on hand.
This community provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care services, so seniors with different needs can find the right level of help, whether that's just having help with cleaning and meals or more hands-on care with daily living or support with memory-related conditions. On-site, fully trained and friendly staff can lend a hand with chores, offer companionship, and help with tasks like bathing or dressing when needed, but still respect privacy and encourage people to stay as active as possible, and there's a shuttle for free rides to doctor appointments and outings around town. Curtis Creek aims to offer a place where older adults can live on their own schedule, enjoy life, join activities, and keep as much independence as possible, all in an environment that puts comfort, safety, and companionship at the front without making anyone feel pressured to be busier than they want.
