Finding a ‘hidden gem’ at Alvernia Manor
Is mom living alone,
are you concerned of her
safety? Is she able to reach
out quickly for assistance,
should something happen?
Do you worry dad is taking
his daily medications as prescribed
or eating nutritional
meals? Is the hired home
care provider giving that
special aunt all the care, attention
and socialization she
needs and deserves?
Alvernia Manor Senior
Living is the “hidden gem”
that can ease a family’s concerns.
The mission of this
unique senior living community
is to provide seniors
a loving, safe and caring
home. Alvernia Manor has
a warm, homey setting, and
its walls brim of compassion,
fulfillment and fun.
Amenities include three
daily meals plus snacks,
staffed healthcare services,
24-hour emergency call
system, housekeeping, furnished
private rooms and
a calendar full of activities
and socialization.
In addition, there are no
annuities or endowment
fees. For more than 45
years, the School Sisters
of St. Francis of Christ the
King and their dedicated
staff have cared for seniors
as their own family with
respect, love and concern.
Family and friends refer
to Alvernia Manor as their
“hidden gem.”
Alvernia Manor is located
on a hilltop in the
southwest suburb of Lemont.
With its beautiful bluff
location, the vivid colors of
the four seasons are played
out annually in panoramic
view. The Little Bit of
Heaven pavilion is a favorite
spot for residents to
take in the scenery and enjoy
the fresh air. Residents
also have the opportunity to
enjoy several other secured
patios or common areas,
relax in the privacy of their
room or spend spiritual
time in the chapel.
Keeping a resident’s
body and mind healthy and
active is the goal the Sisters
and staff strive for. Games,
exercise, movies, bingo,
best buddy visits, shopping
trips, entertainment and
other special outings, like a
trip to Brookfield Zoo, are
among the many activities
on Alvernia’s monthly activity
calendar — definitely
fun times enjoyed by all.
Alvernia Manor’s Wellness
Coordinators and
healthcare staff ensures
resident’s medications are
dispensed, vitals taken and
daily health monitored.
Fresh meals are prepared
daily and all housekeeping
needs attended to. All this
adds up to no more worries
for the resident and family.
In addition, Adult Day
Services or Short-Term
Stay are other available options
for families. Loved
ones receive the care and
recreation they need in a
safe, loving environment,
while caregivers go to work
or get a much needed break.
Whether for a few hours, a
day or a longer period of
time, Alvernia Manor may
be exactly what your family
is looking for.
Come see for yourself
all Alvernia Manor Senior
Living offers. The care,
charm and beauty are undeniable.
