Celebrate Senior Living of Niles sits on the southeast corner of Touhy and Milwaukee Avenue in Niles, Illinois, where it runs as a nonprofit that puts its resources into resident care, safety, and comfort rather than profits, and it offers different living options like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and short-term Respite stays, all under one roof, so seniors can stay within the community as their needs change, and folks might like that it's accredited by the Joint Commission, which means there's an extra level of medical oversight.
There's a big focus on memory care with a dedicated community and secure areas for people with Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia, and they really try to keep residents safe with wandering prevention systems, emergency alert buttons, wireless fall detectors, and constant supervision with nurses and care staff around 24/7, offering between 12 and 16 hours of nursing a day depending on need, and help with things like transfers and getting around if someone's non-ambulatory. They have individualized care plans that look after each resident's dignity and daily needs-like bathing, dressing, medication, and meals-and there are loads of daily programs to help folks stay engaged, like music, arts, live entertainment, and holiday parties, plus structured activity programs led by dedicated staff and some resident-run ones as well.
In addition to skilled nursing care with certified nursing beds and therapy-including on-site occupational, physical, and speech therapists-they have housekeeping and laundry on every floor, all utilities like Wi-Fi and cable included, and maintenance comes twice a month. For meals, they've got a big dining room that serves three chef-prepared meals a day, with attention for special diets like diabetes and allergies, or people can enjoy casual options at the Celebrate Café or grab a treat at the Celebrate Ice Cream Parlor with scoops and fresh coffee.
Families and friends who want to visit can use the guest suites, and the place offers everything from beautiful patios, a garden, and a 10-acre natural area with walking paths and swings, to balcony access on every floor and plenty of common areas like lounges and themed sunrooms. There's a chapel with both Catholic and non-denominational religious services, plus the library, beauty salon/barber shop, exercise and technology suites, lounges, and a big 10,000-square-foot activities floor with a theater and dueling pianos, so folks stay busy if they want to.
The independent living neighborhood has 209 beds and 107 private suites, while assisted living offers 47 suites, including 12 just for specialized memory care. There's a separate 55-bed skilled nursing unit, and 5 certified nursing beds are available as of June 2025. Help is there for daily activities, medication, and meals, and there's always support on hand if it's needed. On top of all that, folks have transportation options, parking, in-suite kitchenettes in some units, guest coordination for moving in, respite care for short-term support, and community tours led by staff like Executive Director Lucy Tur, Admissions Director Patti Hayes, and Director of Business Development CoraLynn Chavez.
The staff at Celebrate Senior Living of Niles aims to give everyone a chance to stay engaged, independent, and comfortable, with as much help or privacy as someone might want, in a close-knit community that pays attention to safety as well as the small things-like a live bird in the bistro area or daily musical programs-that make the days better.
