Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill in Lombard, Illinois, is a continuing care retirement community that's been around since 1984 and is known for serving seniors in DuPage County, and the place has 374 apartments with choices like studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms that look nice and feel comfortable, and you can keep small pets with you too, which is always good for company. The community provides independent living but also has assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, respite and short-term care, adult day care, and even home health support, which means people with different care needs can find help here, especially those adults living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, since they've got a secured memory care unit and specific programs aimed at cognition impairments. The grounds all feel peaceful with ponds, fountains, and even swans out in carefully-landscaped courtyards, while the inside has big windows bringing in natural light, warm common areas with fireplaces and easy chairs, and there's a big dining room that looks nice and makes meals pleasant with a choice between different options, so folks don't have to cook unless they want to. Residents get housekeeping, scheduled transportation, and all kinds of social programs, so no one feels left out, and there's an event room with a piano, stage, and projector for gatherings or fun activities. There's a fitness center, a pool and spa, a game room with billiards, an arts and crafts studio, and even a garden if growing things is still in your bones, plus covered parking and a garage to keep cars sheltered. Beacon Hill's staff focuses on helping people with the right level of support, whether it's nursing and rehab services, memory support, or just help from regular personal services, and they try to make sure everyone feels a sense of purpose and belonging with things to do and ways to stay active. The location is near golf courses and local places to visit, and the community itself is nationally-accredited and known for its vibrant, welcoming feeling, so people who move here tend to make friends and find a routine that makes them feel at home.
