Maywood Supportive Living sits at 316 Randolph St. in Maywood, Illinois, offering an all-inclusive assisted living community for older adults. The building used to be the Baptist Retirement Homes, and now it's been adapted for people aged 55 and older, but most services focus on adults 65 and up, especially those who are low-income, on Medicaid, or receiving Social Security. The facility is managed by Vantage Senior Care under the Illinois Supportive Living Program, which is run by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Residents pay one monthly fee, and it's considered affordable, especially for those who need help to maintain financial independence, and Medicaid is accepted.
The staff at Maywood includes certified nursing assistants who are on-site all day and night, ready to help with medication, daily activities, bathing, dressing, and transfers, and there's a 24-hour call system for quick help if needed. There's skilled nursing in-house, an on-site pharmacy, and incontinence and non-ambulatory care, so folks who have trouble moving around are supported. Apartment-style living includes single room units and studio apartments, often furnished, and some pets are allowed. The community provides three restaurant-style meals each day with all-day dining options, plus special menus for allergies or diabetes, and there's housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and an emergency alert system all rolled into the monthly cost.
Social life stays lively with arts and crafts, movie nights, group excursions, community events, and devotional activities for those who want spiritual support. Every day brings some kind of on-site activity - social, recreational, or educational - and common areas indoors give people places to make friends and spend time together. Amenities like an arts room, dining room, and parking support residents' comfort, and transportation for outings is available at an extra cost. Maywood Supportive Living has a brochure for those who want more details, and scheduled tours are available for visitors. The place keeps visiting hours Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM, and weekends are by appointment. The environment encourages dignity, independence, choice, privacy, and making friends. Supportive living services are tailored to help people age in place with as much independence as possible, while making sure help is always close by when needed.
