Liberty Village of Streator is a not-for-profit retirement community with several different living choices, like The Villas single-family duplex homes, Liberty Estates retirement apartments, and the Hawthorne Inn for assisted living, and each has something a little different depending on what you might need as you get older, whether it's a place to live without much maintenance or more hands-on help every day. Residents have rooms and common spaces that come furnished and comfortable, so you can relax or join social activities, with a dining room that serves meals all day and offers restaurant-style service, and there's always something to do, whether it's arts and crafts in the activity room, movie nights, library visits, or resident-run activities. There's a beauty and barber shop on site, laundry and housekeeping services, even dry cleaning, and if you need help moving in, they'll coordinate that with you, and every room's got a telephone, emergency alert system, and a call system so residents can reach help any time.
For people living with memory loss, there's the Memory Lane Fitness For The Mind program, where memory care specialists are around 24 hours with personalized plans, daily sessions to work on brain health, and the Memory in Motion program even lets folk try AJ's Fitness Center for free to keep bodies moving along with minds, and care plans are updated based on how someone's doing day by day. Meals can be made to fit special diets, like diabetes-friendly plans, with plenty of support to help with activities of daily living - there's folks to help with medication, bathing, and dressing, and they focus on encouragement and independence wherever possible, both in the assisted living and the memory care areas.
The Hawthorne Inn offers more support for those who need help with daily life, like reminders, personal care, and help with walking and hygiene, and the suites are private or can be shared, each with its own bathroom and shower, daily housekeeping, three meals served restaurant-style, and all utilities except phone included. The campus is laid out for easy movement, with walking paths, gardens, scheduled group transportation, and comfortable community gathering spots for everyone to meet up or just relax. Liberty Estates apartments are all-inclusive, have no long leases or endowment fees, and are set up for convenience, and The Villas homes, in an age-restricted section, give privacy with a maintenance-free setup, including lawn care and snow removal.
Families can join a support group that meets monthly to share advice and encouragement, and because they look out for emergencies, there's information ready for families if something unexpected happens. Residents and their families can check the campus out during a scheduled tour and ask for more information about what's offered, and there's a focus on making sure everyone feels at home, can stay active, and connect with others both in person and even using online options if they'd like. The community keeps changing to meet the needs of seniors, with the Hawthorne Inn recently remodeled, and programs always reviewed to keep things running smoothly and safely.
