Senior Suites of Fay's Point sits alongside the Little Calumet River and Cal Sag Channel in Blue Island, offering 90 apartments for seniors aged 62 and older who qualify based on income, and you'll find the place feels peaceful since it's tucked away yet close to local attractions like the Blue Island Market and historic American House. The apartments have kitchens with full-size appliances, private bathrooms with grab bars, and personal climate control, and the whole building uses "green" technology like geothermal heating and cooling, recycled materials, and permeable pavers, which is nice because it helps keep things efficient and comfortable year-round. Residents get all utilities bundled in their monthly rate, including heat, electricity, and air conditioning, and there's free laundry on every floor, which saves a lot of trips down the hall.
Common areas are big and sunny, with places to watch TV, play games, or sit together, and there's a bright outdoor garden patio where folks often relax on nice days or join in the monthly Wellness Everyday programs, which focus on staying healthy and social. Residents can bring their pets, spend time on hobbies, enjoy game nights (including Wii bowling), and join scheduled field trips and grocery runs if driving isn't a good option anymore. Meals are prepared by trained staff with healthy options, and there's housekeeping and maintenance on site, plus weekly transportation for shopping. When it comes to care, there are nurses on staff, a doctor on call, podiatrist visits, and therapy options for physical, occupational, and speech needs, along with a 24-hour emergency call system and daily check-ins to make sure residents are up and about as usual. Hospice and respite care are available, and some apartments are set aside for either men or women, adding a bit of privacy when that's needed.
The building's wide windows, neutral décor, broad hallways, and wheelchair-accessible showers make it easy to get around, and there's a focus on keeping life simple and safe with no smoking allowed inside, routine safety checks, and plenty of parking on site for those who still drive. Residents can take advantage of beauty and barber services, devotional services, home care, and support for aging in place, making this a place where people can keep living the way they're used to with a little extra peace of mind. The staff aim to help folks stay as independent as possible, offering programs and support based on what each person needs and enjoys.
