Balmoral Assisted Living, part of Meridian Senior Living, sits in a quiet spot near farms and Lake Huntley, where palm trees sway and painted murals add color to the area, and offers seniors a place to enjoy retirement with support if needed. The three-story community holds 126 beds and provides both assisted living and memory care through programs like Moments in Time and Community Within Community, which focus on thoughtful activities and special attention for folks living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and there's always trained staff around for help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. Apartments come in cozy studios or spacious one-bedroom layouts, with private baths, individual climate control, and 24-hour emergency services, and people can bring their own things to personalize their spaces. Each room also has a kitchenette for making snacks or entertaining guests, and safety gets extra thought with friendly staff checking in at all hours, a securely monitored community, an emergency response system, and wheelchair accessible showers.
There's a full-time nurse and caregivers who help create and follow individual care plans, making sure support matches each person's needs, and a director of nursing is easy to reach, even on weekends. For those who need a break from caregiving at home or are seeking end-of-life care, respite and hospice services are offered too, with all care and rent included in one fee, and the facility accepts insurance and VA Aid Assistance. Residents eat three chef-prepared meals daily in a dining room that looks out at palm trees, with choices for low-sugar or low-sodium diets.
Balmoral provides lots of social and recreational activities, like arts and crafts, card games, music, birthday parties, coffee socials, field trips, outings, and Montessori-based programs for folks needing memory support, plus there's special programming like reminiscence therapy and sensory-based sessions to help maintain cognitive function. There's a beauty salon and barber shop with a full-time beautician onsite, TV lounge, library, game and activity rooms, meeting room, enclosed courtyard, outside patio garden, and climate controls throughout the building to keep things comfortable. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are all included along with general maintenance and utility costs, making daily living simple and worry-free.
Residents can take advantage of complimentary scheduled transportation, resident parking, and trips to local shops and appointments. Religious services are available in the community, and residents are encouraged to bring pets, though some restrictions apply. Balmoral Assisted Living works to help seniors stay independent while offering the support, comfort, and safety needed as people age, and the community's known locally for its kind staff, cheerful atmosphere, and the modern yet homey feeling all through the property.
