Senior Suites of Autumn Green at Wright Campus sits right in the Dunning neighborhood of western Chicago, on Oak Park Avenue near Forest Preserve Drive, and after a big remodel in 2020, the building has become a modern, multi-story place with bright lighting, easy-to-navigate hallways, and plenty of wheelchair access, so seniors aged 55 and up can get around safely and comfortably, whether they're looking for an independent living apartment or something a little more supportive with assisted living or even skilled nursing, since this community takes care of folks at all different stages, including those who need help with memory care. The apartments come in one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, with full-sized kitchens that have big refrigerators, ranges, and ovens, grab bars in the bath, and each place has its own heating and cooling controls, which makes it easy for people to feel at home, and for those using the Project Based Voucher program, there are 36 affordable apartments with rent help in some of the units, plus another 72 housing choices on campus, all with elevator access, making the whole setup friendly for aging adults.
Every apartment-whether it's a private or semi-private one, even a single room-lets residents take part in the community's planned activities like card games, movies, outings, brain fitness classes with Brain Health University, and health-focused events as part of the Wellness Everyday™ and Dining for Wellness programs, which try to keep everyone active, entertained, and connected, with shared spaces for socializing, a recreation room, TV areas, a billiards room, and places for gardening outside, along with an outdoor gazebo, patio, fountain, and a terrace to sit and visit on decent days, and all of this is kept up by friendly, fully-trained staff who handle on-site maintenance and weekly housekeeping, so everything stays in good shape. People who need extra help-like medication reminders, support with bathing or dressing, or help getting to medical appointments-can get that too, since nurses and caregivers are there to give 12-16 hour nursing and medication management, daily assistance when needed, and 24-hour emergency response with the Up and About and on-call systems, so safety's always a priority, and nobody's left waiting when they press their help button or need urgent support.
Residents don't have to worry much about chores, because housekeeping, laundry, and on-site maintenance are regular services, and meals are offered in a restaurant-style dining space, but the kitchens are ready for cooking at home if anyone wants to make their favorite food, and grocery transportation is available each week for shopping trips. Pets are welcome, so long as they follow the rules, and everyone has chances to meet neighbors and join in big or small activities-there's always something going on, but residents can also just do their own thing, whether that's working out in the fitness room, getting their hair done at the beauty salon, or joining conversations in the community spaces. Utilities like heat and air conditioning are included, with residents just handling their own electric bill, and there's secure entry, assigned parking, and elevators for easy movement between floors. Senior Suites of Autumn Green at Wright Campus has kept its promise since 1995 to blend independent living with extra support on a campus that feels like home and offers aging residents a steady place to be active, cared for, and among friends, with Senior Lifestyle as the management company making sure standards are high but people are treated with patience and understanding.
