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