Clarendale of Mokena gives seniors more than one way to live, since folks can pick from independent living, assisted living, or the memory care program if needed, and the whole place sits out on 11 acres with lots of greenery, so it feels open and settled. The buildings have one- and two-bedroom apartments, and they also let small pets join, which makes a big difference for some people. Staff is always around, 24 hours a day, and they handle things like medication, laundry, housekeeping, and meals, so there's less to worry about as the day goes on. The Heartfelt Connections-A Memory Care Program™ helps people with Alzheimer's or dementia by focusing on what abilities remain, and they keep the doors secure in those sections to prevent wandering and confusion.
Meals are cooked fresh, and there are special foods like low sugar or low salt for those who need them. Social events and activities keep people hopping, and there's lots to do between the arts and crafts room, game area, movie room, a library, and a salon for haircuts. For those who want to exercise or just walk, the campus features outdoor paths, an indoor fitness center, and patios for sitting outside on good days. The dining options include a regular restaurant-style dining room, a café/bistro, and even a bar for casual gathering, where folks can chat with neighbors.
Residents enjoy a schedule full of choices, whether they're busy with light therapy, exercise classes, group events, or hobbies like gardening and puzzles. Transportation gets seniors safely to appointments or stores, and for special needs, they offer everything from home care help to hospice and respite stays. Families find peace of mind with the emergency response system, trained caregivers, and security all around the clock, and the trained team tries to know everyone's needs. The independent living side means little chores, because grounds and building maintenance is handled, so people have more time for the things and people they love. Clarendale of Mokena does all this with a down-to-earth, neighborly approach that aims to support each person, whether they need a little or a lot of help as they age.
