LaGrange Pointe sits right on the corner of LaGrange Road and Cossitt Avenue, which is across the street from the old movie theater, and because it's right in downtown La Grange, residents have quick walks to shops, restaurants, banks, churches, and local cultural spots, and you can even catch the Metra to downtown Chicago if you want. This building has just thirty apartments, so you don't have to worry about getting lost or feeling like a number, and since it's for folks age sixty-two or older, most everyone's around the same place in life, and there's a strong sense of privacy and independence that many appreciate. Living here means you get your own apartment-either one or two bedrooms-with a full kitchen that's got all-electric appliances, a big utility closet with washer and dryer hookups, and handy things like raised outlets, easy-to-open windows, individually controlled heating and cooling, extra storage, and even sound-resistant walls so you can enjoy peace and quiet. They've got special attention to safety, which means things like recessed entry lighting, fire alarms and smoke detectors, and a 24-hour emergency call system with pull cords in every apartment, and the entry to the building itself stays secure with controlled access.
The staff is on site every day from eight in the morning until eight at night, and folks always say they're helpful, joyful, and treat everyone kindly, which makes a difference when you're coming and going or just need a hand. The housekeeping comes every week, and if something breaks, on-site maintenance takes care of it so residents don't have to fuss with repairs. There's also a free laundry room, and if you'd rather do your washing in your apartment, that's an option too with the hookups in each unit. Meals are handled thoughtfully as well, with a daily continental breakfast and meals prepared by chefs and planners who use quality ingredients. Being downtown lets residents enjoy special discounts with several local shops, and there are connections with area restaurants that provide discounted menu options just for residents, so it's easy to stay social and enjoy what the neighborhood offers.
LaGrange Pointe has nice shared spaces, including an exercise room, a library, two community rooms, a greenhouse, a party and game room, a TV parlor, and a rooftop patio where people can gather or get some fresh air. There's covered parking and a covered entrance for bad weather, and a public restaurant and retail shops sit right downstairs on the first floor.
The building encourages an active, independent lifestyle, and residents can take part in regular social events and outings, like birthday parties, game nights, happy hours, live entertainment, exercise classes, and community meals, which helps neighbors connect and keeps things lively. The activities are well known for helping people stay engaged physically, socially, mentally, and emotionally, and the staff's attitude of friendliness means people often say they feel supported and at home here. For those who need it, there's help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, but the focus always stays on freedom of choice and staying as independent as possible.
With thoughtful building design, good security, downtown location, accessible apartments, caring staff, and award-winning programs that have even received Best of Senior Living honors, LaGrange Pointe offers seniors a comfortable place to live that encourages both independence and friendship right in the heart of La Grange.
