Eden Supportive Living South Shore sits in Chicago's South Shore area and welcomes adults with disabilities starting at age 22, and you will find it was the first supportive living facility in the country set up to serve people with disabilities, having started back in 2003, and these folks built everything with accessibility in mind, like ADA-compliant studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with roll-in showers, grab bars, modern, easy-to-use kitchens, and lower windows, so you don't have to struggle to get comfortable or see outside, and there's wood-style flooring and free Wi-Fi throughout, which helps people stay comfortable and connected. The community cares about privacy, independence, and giving everyone choices, and staff like licensed nurses, certified nurse assistants, dining folks, and activities leaders, plus management, work day and night to support people with personal care, medication reminders, and help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and other daily needs, and management gives all staff annual sensitivity training to make sure they better understand the needs of people with disabilities, so residents get treated with more dignity and respect.
People get support with meals-three a day in the restaurant, always offering nutritious, tasty, and low sodium or low sugar choices, with options like coffee and fruit juice, and if anyone needs help with eating, that's available too, and there's weekly housekeeping, laundry services, medication management, and safety features like at least two emergency pull switches in each apartment, so help's always close by. Residents also find transport services to places like hospitals, pharmacies, and appointments, and the facility is close by to medical spots like St Bernard Hospital and a Walgreens pharmacy, making errands and care much easier. Inside you get features like an arts and crafts room, chapel, chapel, billiards room, cyber center with high-speed internet, fitness center, movie theater, beauty shop, business center, game room, a stone fireplace, grand piano, free DVD library, pool table, and plenty of spaces for social events and activities, along with things like a full kitchen in apartments, laundry room, and inviting community rooms for sitting with others or catching up with family.
Eden keeps a strong sense of community, so people who want to go on outings or walk in gardens or along walking paths can do that, and the nearby lakefront, parks, garden spaces, golf course, and local cultural offerings give everyone a way to keep busy or have some quiet, peaceful time. Those who need extra help with wound care or ongoing nursing support will find the right professionals here-service options go beyond supportive living to include assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, independent living, and continuing care retirement services, with a special focus on managing both regular and unexpected care needs. They're proud to foster an environment where everyone can grow and have a say in their day, and the community tries hard to let people direct their own life with privacy, social events, and interesting activities to keep up spirits and build friendships.
