Autumn Leaves of Orland Park sits at 8021 W 151st St in Orland Park, IL, and you'll notice the inviting entrance with its covered porch, well-kept flowerbeds, and landscaped lawns, and when you step inside you see comfortable seating by a fireplace and TV, and sometimes someone's playing the grand piano while residents gather in the bright common areas. The private bedrooms get plenty of natural light and have walk-in showers, chairs for sitting, dressers, and there are Studio, 1 Bedroom, and Companion apartments, all with pet-friendly policies, and in some cases apartments come with patios, air conditioning, even washers and dryers, plus there's resident parking, gated entries, and apartments may have views of a garden or even a small waterfront spot. There's a courtyard with a gazebo, places to walk outside, a tranquil fountain, and a barbecue area, and inside there's a cozy library and arts and crafts room, beauty and barber shop, and an elegant dining room where meals are served restaurant-style, always made from scratch and tailored to what each person likes or needs in their diet, with snacks and private dining rooms for special occasions.
Staff at Autumn Leaves of Orland Park have experience with both assisted living and memory care, especially for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the Inspired Connections™ program encourages daily moments of joy with life engagement activities that match residents' interests, backgrounds, and routines, so people's culture, hobbies, or spiritual life are respected just like their physical needs, and if someone needs help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or medication management, staff are on hand, and there's a doctor, nurse, podiatrist, and dentist available when necessary. There's physical, occupational, and speech therapy through local providers, and the team gives extra support for people who need hospice care, aging in place, or respite stays.
Security and comfort are big parts of daily life, with secure courtyards for wandering safely, no smoking indoors at all, and abundant natural light in living spaces, plus a no-discrimination policy for gender identity, orientation, or source of income, since federal law covers those. Autumn Leaves serves both men and women, but their apartments or day care programs may be set for one gender at a time, depending on needs. You'll notice group social events, devotional services, outings, games and movies, and choice if people want to spend time with pets or use the walking path or fitness program, and housekeeping and laundry are taken care of.

Caregivers working here are well-qualified, maintain good supervision and safety, and treat all residents with care and respect, especially those with cognitive challenges.
