Luther Village

Luther Village sits on 55 acres in Arlington Heights, Illinois, at 1220 Village Drive, with a campus that's got mature landscaping, walking paths, and a pond where you'll find a fishing pier, and over the years folks have appreciated the raised-bed gardens and the cozy Summer House where there's a place for outdoor visits and activities, and when it comes to living choices, there are midrise homes, villa homes, and courtyard homes, with those courtyard homes being brick townhomes circling a lake. There's also four midrise buildings connected by skywalks to Wittenberg Commons, offering several floor plans so people can pick what fits them best, whether it's a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom setup, and some prefer the villa townhomes built along the community's greenway. Luther Village is set up as a full-equity cooperative, which means the residents own their homes, and folks age 55 or 62 and up, depending on the section, can live here. The community's got services for independent living, personal care, assisted living, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, so residents can get extra help with daily activities like bathing and dressing if they need it, and folks often use laundry services, housekeeping, and meal programs, where one or two meals a day are provided. There's a big focus on health and wellness, and residents use the fitness center, which has an indoor pool, and take part in regular health programs to stay active. The summer brings plenty of activities both on and off campus, and you'll find a strong social activity program with classes, entertainment, and trips outside the community, and there's always something going on, whether it's gardening, group fitness, or spending time by the pond. The community makes things easier by handling the yard work and exterior maintenance, so people can focus on friends and hobbies, and for meals they've got two on-campus restaurants that get good use throughout the week. There's always access to everyday needs, since there are grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, and banks close by, and help is around for housekeeping, laundry, and handyman jobs. Luther Village provides a map for easy visiting, and there's a dedicated sales team at the on-site Sales Center to help people explore their housing options. Residents appreciate the independence, but also the peace of mind that comes with 24-hour supervision and different levels of care when needed, making it a place where people feel free but also supported as life changes.
