The Landing on Dundee Senior Living

The Landing on Dundee Senior Living is a senior living facility offering different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, with rooms starting at a monthly rate, and although the carpets in the hallways show some wear from wheelchairs and walkers, the community takes care to keep things safe and accessible for everyone, making sure to keep walkways clear and helping people get around as they need. The Reserve at The Landing at Wheeling provides an active lifestyle with wellness in mind, and staff stays full-time to help residents with daily tasks or health needs. The memory care area supports residents with cognitive issues such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia, using custom care plans and tailored activities to help maintain cognitive abilities, and there's also a strong focus on person-centered care using a Montessori Inspired approach, which seems to mean the staff encourage independence and let people make choices about their routines and activities. The award-winning SPARK program works to keep residents engaged mentally, physically, and emotionally, with various activities like art therapy, bingo, arts and crafts, baking classes, and a book club, and there are regular social events including special gatherings like car shows and themed brunches, where the kitchen uses fresh vegetables grown by the Gardening Committee for a real farm-to-table meal whenever possible. Residents can enjoy a fitness center, indoor and outdoor common areas, a beauty salon, a bar, a coffee shop, and on- and offsite devotional services if they like, along with Wi-Fi, cable, and meals provided daily with an emphasis on healthy, good-tasting food prepared from quality ingredients, and the Cooking Committee sometimes gets involved with meal planning, too. There's a Welcoming Committee to make newcomers feel at home and a community website where people can check schedules and events. The Landing on Dundee's social activities, such as structured friendship programs, are designed to bring people together, making it feel more like a community. Safety is a big part of the memory care layout, and the skilled nursing center is there for people who need more help than what assisted living can offer, so as people's needs change, the staff can usually adjust the level of help without folks needing to move out of the community. The facility is fully licensed and gets its licensing reviewed twice a year. The staff have a good reputation for being friendly, helpful, and kind. Amenities include modern apartments, beauty treatments, and residential living spaces where people don't need much help but want a social, safe place to live, and the community celebrates each person's uniqueness with programs designed to fit different needs, backgrounds, and interests. Visitors can book a tour to see the rooms, try the food, and see what daily life looks like, which helps them get a real feel for how people live there.
