The 253- unit, 256,000 square foot community is on 12.5 acres near 175th Street and Kedzie Avenue. In 1992, Waterford Estates was sold to Affordable Community Housing Trust, a national housing non-profit organization. Waterford Estates is managed by Triad Senior Living, a leader in the senior living community since 1989. Our goal is simple: To provide affordable housing to a growing elderly population by allowing them to age within a residential setting they are proud to call home. At its start, Waterford Estates offered Independent Living and Assisted Living, and in May of 2013, they added a Memory Care Unit called Reflections. At Waterford Estates, residents enjoy restaurantstyle dining, dedicated activities program and staff, on-site health providers, planned transportation, housekeeping, and personal assistance options uniquely suited to their own retirement goals. Complimentary tours of the property are offered along with lunch or dinner. Located in the Homewood, Tinley Park, Olympia Fields, Flossmoor, and Hazel Crest corridor of the South Chicago suburbs, Waterford Estates’ ultimate mission is to ensure our residents are met with warm, compassionate, and respectful service from all who are working to make their retirement experience personalized and life giving. This quality service is a proven legacy for over 30 years, and will continue for the next 30 and beyond. Waterford Estates offers Independent Living, Independent Living Plus, Assisted Living and Memory Care. Submitted by Waterford Estates, 17400 Kedzie Ave., Hazel Crest.

The new program was unanimously approved by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board last December. Since then, Silver Cross has been preparing for the program by working on expanding the Procedural Care Unit on the second floor. In 2020, two additional state-of-the-art operating rooms will be added, along with a “hybrid room” equipped with advanced medical imaging devices to support minimally invasive surgery. In addition, a dedicated cardiac care unit will open later this fall on the first floor directly below the PCU to care for patients after heart surgery and will eventually be serviced with a dedicated elevator between the two units when the expansion is completed next year. Silver Cross currently has the eighth-largest cardiac catheterization program in the State of Illinois and leads the local market for outpatient cardiac procedures performed annually. In 2017 alone, Silver Cross performed more than 3,500 diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterizations, an 11 percent increase over the previous year. And between 2015 and 2016, diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterizations performed at Silver Cross Hospital increased by 13 percent. Through the hospital’s future structural heart program, minimally invasive catheter-based technology will be used to treat lifethreatening valve disorders and structural heart defects. Minimally invasive approaches translate to better outcomes for patients, including a lower risk of infection and complications, reduced trauma to the chest (since the chest doesn’t have to be opened), a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery. Best of all, Silver Cross patients who need heart surgery now can have it right in New Lenox, close to home and their families. “Silver Cross offers the full spectrum of heart care services that our community needs,” Silver Cross President/CEO Ruth Colby said. “That means heart patients no longer have to experience the stress and anxiety of having to leave their preferred hospital and travel for advanced heart care.” For more information about the total heart care program, visit silvercross. org/heart.
