Senior Suites of Kelvyn Park

I toured Senior Suites of Kelvyn Park, and I liked that one. It was really nice. The lady that gave me the tour was very nice. She was very personable. I kind of wish I could have moved there because that one's a better location, but she only had a smaller place. It was clean and the building was well-kept, and the neighborhood seemed really nice, and I think it was close to where you could go shopping. The lady that I spoke with, who's the residency coordinator, is very, very sweet. I think they had exercise, they had a place to eat, a cafeteria, and exercise equipment there. I believe they had laundry facilities where you could do your laundry, and maybe they could take you to the grocery store.

Knowing that we would be in the Chicago area, we decided to go and see the Senior Suites of Kelvyn Park assisted living facility. We've always liked that area - and our aunt had expressed that she liked it as well. Our family has members spread through Illinois, so this location would be ideal for visiting her. We were shown all of the common areas, all of which were really nice. The grounds were all well manicured - with plenty of areas for residents to enjoy. We could see that it would be a great place to spend quality time. There were plenty of scheduled and non-scheduled activities to choose from. They also encourage participation in exercise daily, and go on walks and excursions. The dining room was really nice - as were all of the communal areas. The lunch meal we saw looked really great. The snacks offered included everything from baked goods (geared toward health) to fresh fruits and vegetables. Despite the fact that they were made to be healthy, they all looked really good. The exercise facilities were quite nice, with many options, including yoga and other classes, with some machines also available. The residents here looked very content in their living environment and were well cared for by kind and compassionate staff.
