Liberty Towers sits right in Libertyville, Illinois, and the manager there is named Kathy Breen, who runs things from the management office inside the building so residents can always find help if they need it, which can be comforting. The place offers supportive living for both seniors and people with disabilities, and it's a Section 8 property, so folks who qualify can get rental help-means it's not as expensive, and it's been privately owned for quite a while, too. The apartments come in one and two-bedroom styles, and there are special ones fitted out just for people with physical handicaps-makes things simpler if you use a wheelchair or walker, with wider doors, spacious bedrooms, private patios or balconies, storage everywhere, and even deluxe bathrooms that give people extra room to move around. Kitchens are full-sized and have everything most people would need to make meals for themselves, and the bathrooms have tubs seniors can use safely.
There's English and Spanish spoken by the staff, who're trained to help residents feel at home and support them with health and daily needs whenever something's going on, and Liberty Towers puts a lot of effort into organizing ways for people to stay busy and make friends-regular activities like art classes, pinochle club, birthday parties, holiday get-togethers, and devotional or Catholic services, so even if someone moves in not knowing anybody, they end up finding plenty of social events to try. Common spaces like the arts and crafts center, community room (which has a full kitchen for gatherings or private family dinners), TV lounge, library, meeting room, and recreational areas help people come together, and the whole place is set up for comfort and convenience-wide halls, senior-friendly bathrooms, and doorways that work for walkers or wheelchairs. They let people bring cats, and there are some dogs allowed too, though there are weight limits, so not every breed qualifies.
There's parking for residents and visitors, uncovered but easy enough to access, and staff keep up with building maintenance and security so nobody has to worry about safety or a burned-out lightbulb in the hallway. Healthcare staff and ancillary services are around when needed, so if someone's feeling sick or needs basic care, it's handled quickly and quietly. The building's website-www.liberty-towersapartments.com-has all the current details, but everything about Liberty Towers is set up to help older adults and those with disabilities live as independently as possible, with privacy when they want it and community when they need it.
