‘Hidden gem’ of Alvernia Manor
has peace of mind for senior care
Is mom living alone? Are you concerned
for 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 your 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;
its walls are brimming with 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/socialization.
In addition, there are no
annuities or endowment fees. For over 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, such as a trip to Brookfield
Zoo, are among the many activities
on Alvernia’s monthly activity calendar.
Fun times are definitely enjoyed by all.
Alvernia Manor’s Wellness Coordinators
and healthcare staff ensures residents’
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 you.
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.
