The Neighbors Next Door sits in a quiet neighborhood in Aurora, Illinois, and offers a small, home-like setting for up to four seniors who need help with daily living. The place is pet-friendly, with spaces for both private and semi-private living, and all rooms come fully furnished, so people can settle in quickly. Folks here receive personal support with things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and the staff can help with more complex needs too, such as non-ambulatory and high-acuity care, incontinence, memory problems like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and even diabetes management. The team goes through the day and night, keeping watch and making sure everyone is safe, and they've gotten praise for being friendly and helpful, treating folks like family and sticking to a strong sense of community.
Meals get made each day by skilled cooks using fresh ingredients, and people often mention the food being both healthy and tasty, using special menus if someone needs a certain diet or has allergies. The Neighbors Next Door also features regular social events; there are activities planned every day, from movie nights and board games to fitness routines, music, and art therapy. Residents can enjoy the gardens and walking paths, catch a film in the small theater, spend time with pets, or join in on community events like game nights, holiday meals, or excursions with the group. Safety's kept in mind with features like emergency alert buttons, apartment security, and programs for fall prevention.
Transportation is arranged for appointments, errands, or going to church, and there's help with laundry, cleaning, and general upkeep, so residents can focus on friendships, their health, and simple joys. People come here for both long stays and short periods if their family needs a break, and the community supports those who need a little extra, like two-person transfers or help with insulin shots, depending on the care plan. There's even a traveling hairdresser and on-site beautician services for easy grooming.
The facility's small size means the staff can give more attention to each person, making room for independence, choice, and conversation. The staff pays attention to accessibility, offering wheelchair-friendly showers and features throughout, and folks can see all this for themselves if they want to schedule a tour. With a clean, warm atmosphere and a focus on letting residents be as independent as they can while being ready to help, The Neighbors Next Door tries to make daily life simple, social, and safe for everyone who lives there.
