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