Beth Anne Place Supportive Living sits in Chicago and offers different types of apartments, like studios, one-bedrooms, and some two-bedrooms, along with semi-private rooms for people who want to share. People need to be at least 55 years old to move in, and the community is part of HUD's Section 202 program, so rent is usually around 30% of a person's monthly income, keeping things affordable for those who qualify. The building has elevators, accessible units for folks with mobility needs, fire alarms, and smoke detectors for safety, plus two emergency pull cords in each apartment. The place is non-smoking throughout, except in private areas.
Residents at Beth Anne Place can get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving between bed and wheelchair, and medication management. There's incontinence care for people who can take care of their own needs, and diabetic care with staff available to help check blood sugar. Nursing staff and CNAs stay on-site around the clock, and an in-house skilled nursing team is available along with medication administration help. People can also get hospice care, pharmacy services, and help with shopping or escorts for appointments. The staff coordinates activities, meals, housekeeping, and laundry. Residents can use the community's transportation, or take part in off-site outings for shopping or trips.
Weekly housekeeping, in-room laundry, and meals-three nutritious meals cooked fresh in a large dining room every day-are part of living here. Apartments come with kitchenettes or full-sized refrigerators and stoves, so folks who want to cook for themselves can do so. On-site mail delivery, parking, transportation, room service, and laundry for linens are offered too. The community welcomes some pets.
Beth Anne Place has different ways to stay busy, whether it's cards and games, art and crafts, a resident music group, billiards, or yoga, plus a full activity program led by an activity director. Social events like a Senior Prom, Sewing Circle, and community events help people connect. There are indoor common spaces, a Wellness Hub for programs, and chances to get out and about with trips and shopping outings. The building sits near West Suburban Hospital and Rush Oak Park Hospital. Devotional services happen offsite. The place is licensed by the State and checked twice each year for its care and safety standards. Staff work to provide care that fits each resident's needs, whether it's light, medium, or heavy care, with special help for folks living with memory loss or Alzheimer's. The supportive approach aims to create a safe, respectful, and active community for older adults who need some extra help but want to stay as independent as they can. Fees include a community fee, respite fee, buy-in, and charges for certain types of help, all depending on what a person needs. Those who move in can also tour the building and meet people beforehand, giving a sense of what daily life, meals, and activities are truly like. Beth Anne Place has about 85 apartments in total, split between Beth Anne Place for supportive living and Beth Anne Residence for independent living, and works to provide good care, dignity, and opportunities for a full life at an affordable price.
