Is mom living alone?<br />
Concerned about her safety?<br />
Is she able to reach<br />
out quickly for assistance,<br />
should something happen?<br />
Worry dad is taking<br />
his daily medications as<br />
prescribed or eating nutritional<br />
meals? Is the hired<br />
home care provider giving<br />
that special aunt all the<br />
care, attention and socialization<br />

Alvernia Manor Senior<br />
Living is the “Hidden<br />
Gem” that can ease your<br />
family’s concerns. The<br />
mission of this unique senior<br />
living community is<br />
to provide seniors a loving,<br />
safe and caring home. Alvernia<br />
Manor has a warm,<br />
homey setting; its walls<br />
brimming of compassion,<br />
fulfillment and fun. Amenities<br />
include three daily<br />
meals plus snacks, staffed<br />
healthcare services, 24-<br />
hour emergency call system,<br />
housekeeping, furnished<br />
private rooms and<br />
a calendar full of activities<br />
and socialization. In addition,<br />
there are no annuities<br />
or endowment fees. For<br />
more than 45 years the<br />
School Sisters of St. Francis<br />
of Christ the King and<br />
their dedicated staff have<br />
cared for seniors as their<br />
own family with respect,<br />
love and concern. Family<br />
and friends refer Alvernia<br />
Manor as their “Hidden<br />
Gem.”.<br />
Alvernia Manor is located<br />
on a hilltop in the southwest<br />
suburb of Lemont.<br />
With its beautiful, bluff location,<br />
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<br />
to enjoy several other secured<br />
patios or common<br />
areas, relax in the privacy<br />
of their room or spend<br />
spiritual time in the chapel.<br />
Keeping a resident’s body<br />
and mind healthy and active<br />
is the goal the Sisters<br />
and staff strive for. Games,<br />
exercise, movies, bingo,<br />
best buddy visits, shopping<br />
trips, entertainment<br />
and other special outings,<br />
like a trip to Brookfield<br />
Zoo, are among the many<br />
activities on Alvernia’s<br />
monthly activity calendar<br />
– definitely fun times enjoyed<br />
by all.<br />
Alvernia Manor’s wellness<br />
coordinators and<br />
healthcare staff ensures<br />
residents’ medications are<br />
dispensed, vitals taken and<br />

needs attended to. All this<br />
adds up to no more worries<br />
for you.<br />

Services or Short Term<br />
Stay are other available<br />
