Castle Towers

Castle Towers in Bensenville, Illinois is a senior housing facility with 148 apartments where people can choose independent or assisted living and the place feels more like a community than a hotel, with two big atriums that fill with light and people all day, and you'll see residents enjoying social events, computer classes, or just sitting in the garden by the pond. The staff's known for being helpful and kind, with friendliness awards and training that helps them support older adults who may need help with bathing, dressing, or remembering their medicines, and there's a resident's assistant on hand if someone needs extra support. Some folks there live independently, while others use the rest home, with health care incidental service or the memory care services for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, where the layout helps prevent wandering and keeps everyone safe. The place offers daily meals made with good ingredients, a dining area that feels comfortable, and cafes and restaurants where you can chat or just enjoy a cup of coffee, plus a laundry service so you don't have to worry about chores and a recycling center too. There's a focus on activities to keep people active in body and mind with a social service coordinator to encourage participation in crafts, social games, or even movie nights in the cinema, and children or family visitors can use play areas designed for them, which means there's something for everyone, even the grandkids. The community's large retail area has shops for clothes, beauty, and specialty goods, plus entertainment options, and there's easy access for people with disabilities, automatic doors, rest zones, and seating everywhere, so mobility's not a problem, and parking's available for visitors. Folks who want quiet can walk outdoor paths, sit by the pond, or rest in the communal areas, and anyone needing counseling has access to psychiatric services or simple support. Castle Towers is a nonprofit, supported by federal funding and donations, and you'll often see events or exhibitions set up in dedicated spaces for everyone to enjoy and participate in, making it a friendly, down-to-earth place where staff work to create a sense of belonging and comfort for all residents.
