Senior Suites of Midway Village sits at 6800 S Keating Ave in the West Lawn neighborhood of Chicago, and you'll find it's a place meant for older adults, mostly those aged 62 and better, who want to live on their own but like having some help nearby if they ever need it, where there's a nice mix of people getting by just fine, others wanting everyday tasks like laundry or meals handled for them, and some who need a bit more care through assisted living or memory care, since the place handles that, too, so folks with conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's can come here and have support right there on campus without a need to move again, which people often appreciate since moving's no fun. The building is a mid-rise that was built in 2013, and apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, all with full kitchens including stoves, refrigerators, and ovens, plus you'll find walk-in showers and individually controlled heating and cooling, which comes in handy when Chicago weather acts up, you know.
There's pets allowed, so people can bring a furry companion, and the community thinks about safety, you get things like secured entry, daily "up and about" check-ins, grab bars in the bathrooms for steadying yourself, a 24/7 emergency cord system, and wheelchair-friendly spaces, so you won't get blocked in the hallways or stuck at the doors. Residents have on-site laundry service if needed, plus housekeeping service, and there's staff around for apartment repairs, which means you don't have to worry about things falling apart or trying to fix them yourself. Folks here get transportation, mainly for groceries, and scheduled rides for outings, which can be a big help. If you're looking for community, Senior Suites of Midway Village offers planned social events and activities-things like bingo, reading circles, arts-and-crafts, and holiday celebrations-alongside community rooms where people can sit together, chat, or just relax, and there's an outdoor patio when the weather's nice. Meals are provided with an on-site meal program that gives one or two a day, but since apartments have kitchens, people can also cook if that's what they'd rather do. Assisted living services include help with dressing, bathing, and general health needs, and there's memory care for those who need extra attention due to memory loss. The building's got limited parking including accessible handicap options, though no details on covered or reserved spots.
The place is open to all, follows legal protections for LGBTQ and people regardless of how they make their living, and you'll find it in a spot that's got a decent walk score of 58 and a transit score of 51, so you can get around if you want to run errands or visit local schools like Azuela Elementary or Bogan High which are nearby, and it's got a community manager on-site to help when things come up, so newcomers often find it a welcoming environment, not too fancy, but focused on helping people live comfortably and safely. There are lease agreements, not big buy-ins, and rents can include some services, but you'd want to check directly about what's covered at this specific location, since details can change. Senior Suites of Midway Village is part of the Senior Lifestyle network, and it's been around quite a while, with its main approach being to give seniors a maintenance-free, supportive home with flexible levels of care as needs change over the years.
