Senate Apartments sits at 5801 N Pulaski Rd., Bldg G, in Chicago, and is managed by Elderly Housing Development & Operations Corps, and this place has 240 units in a secure four-story building without accessible units, and folks will find the apartments spacious, with plenty of storage for everyday things, and the place allows pets, which is nice for many seniors who don't want to give up their pets. The building offers affordable housing for senior citizens and provides both assisted living and independent living, and there are memory care and home care options too, with care tailored to what each resident needs since some may want to live more on their own while others may need extra help, like in the residential care homes, where live-in caregivers can help with dressing, bathing, and daily life. People like to walk outside since the apartments are part of the North Park Village Campus, which covers 155 acres of nature preserve, so residents can enjoy the two large patios, gardens, a greenhouse, and many paths for walking, and the community even runs a free shuttle bus that moves from the front gate to other senior buildings on the campus.
Inside, the building gives residents a bunch of areas to use, including a cafeteria with nutritious meals prepared by chefs and meal planners, a meeting room, a library, a computer room, a craft room, a billiards and game room, and a TV room, plus a laundry room to keep up with washing, and folks often gather for activities that help them stay social, active, and engaged, both mentally and physically. There's also staff praised for being helpful, joyful, and kind, with a service coordinator named Allison Jeong, and the community's won awards for things like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities in Senior Living, which points to the care and activities offered. For health and support, two physicians and two hospitals are close by, and there's a pair of podiatrists who visit monthly, outside agencies who give flu shots, and about 40 pharmacies in the area, making it easy to manage medications and any health needs.
People living here have easy access to convenience, like the seven transportation services nearby, with parks for outdoor fun-10 in the area-plus grocery stores, dollar stores, and small restaurants between 1 and 2 miles away, and beyond that, residents enjoy 16 local restaurants with many cuisines, eight cafes, and the community sits near a theater, so folks can watch shows or take part in other cultural events. The building's designed to help seniors have a vibrant, convenient life, and unique names and terms for its service programs help folks get just what they need, with support systems built in, and with local senior living advisors available for free, people can get expert guidance if they want more information. The culture here aims for friendliness and a good welcome to all, which helps folks feel at home while enjoying independent or assisted living, depending on what works best for them.
