Why Families Choose Addington Place of Shiloh for Their Loved Ones

If you're currently looking for a senior community for a loved one, the amount of choice can be overwhelming. There are around 1,200 long-term care communities in Illinois, many of them providing senior care options. How can you make the right choice that will provide the security and care you're looking for?

Many families have found Addington Place of Shiloh to be exactly what they were looking for. One of the top senior communities in Shiloh, we provide a range of services on one site.

Let's explore why Addington Place of Shiloh should be at the top of every family's list.

Comprehensive Shiloh Senior Living Options

At Addington Place of Shiloh, we do not believe in one-size-fits-all senior living. We provide three distinct senior living options, each with personalized support and care if needed.

Independent Living

Independent living could be a great choice if your relative is independent and looking to get the best out of life. They'll have their own home but can access housekeeping, daily dining, and maintenance services. This allows them to remain part of the local Shiloh community while enjoying Addington Place amenities and activities.

Assisted Living

Assisted living could be the right option if your loved one is still relatively independent but needs a little extra support. They can enjoy their own home and our range of activities but get a little help with their daily needs. We will create a tailored plan for them, which could include:

  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Toileting
  • Medication management

Our trained staff are available 24/7 to provide the support and reassurance they need.

Respite Care

After an accident, surgery, or illness, respite care can provide your loved one the support they need to get back on their feet. As the name suggests, it is a temporary solution. The goal is to help them return to their own home in better health than before.

Respite care can also be a lifeline for the caregivers of older adults with dementia and other long-term conditions. It could give you time to travel, relax, or spend time with family without the responsibility of caring for your loved one. It can be an important part of staying well and keeping going as a caregiver.

Memory Care

It is expected that by 2025, 260,000 Illinois residents will have some form of dementia. Memory care can provide the necessary support if your loved one has received such a diagnosis.

All the Addington Place memory care community staff are trained to provide outstanding dementia support. They recognize the unique challenges these folks face and that each person is an individual. Consequently, the care we provide is specific to each person's needs.

Although we do not have doctors on site, regular medical check-ups ensure your loved one gets the medical care they need.

Quality Accommodation

We all need a safe place to call home, a sanctuary we can retreat to for cozy times. One of the key benefits of Addington Place is that each resident has a private home to make their own.

These options include:

  • Independent living - one and two-bedroom accommodations
  • Assisted living - suite and one-bedroom options
  • Memory care - suites designed for seniors with memory challenges

Each accommodation has been designed to help you live your best life. From tasteful decor to a thoughtful layout, they are safe, comfortable, and secure. They also have all the modern amenities we rely on, such as cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning.

A pet can help your loved one transition to a senior living community more easily. Addington Place is pet-friendly, so they may be able to bring a beloved pooch or feline with them.

You can feel confident that your loved one is in the best accommodation for their circumstances.

Heath and Wellness Programs

As they get older, your loved one may have mixed feelings about exercising. While they know it's good for them, fear of falls and not knowing what exercise is most appropriate could hold them back. However, the golden years are exactly the time when they need to keep moving!

At Addington Place of Shiloh, we offer group activities for seniors. This lets your loved one get the exercise they need at their own pace. There are even classes to help them prevent falls.

The benefits of our health and wellness programs go beyond keeping fit. They're also a great way to interact with other residents and develop friendships. This can help keep your relative emotionally healthy, too!

Easy Access to Medical Care

We all want to know our loved ones are getting the medical care they need. While Addington Place of Shiloh does not have medical staff on-site, it is close to several medical services. Additionally, staff are trained to manage medication and coordinate care with your loved one's healthcare providers.

Addington Place Amenities

The additional amenities are some of the benefits that Addington Place residents enjoy the most. As well as the wellness activities already discussed, they include:

  • Educational workshops
  • Social functions
  • Stargazing
  • Comfortable lounges for relaxation, reading, and socializing

Many residents enjoy the dining options. While your loved one will have their own kitchen, in-room dining, and restaurant dining options take the stress out of food preparation.

24/7 Security

Being part of a tight-knit community can foster a strong sense of security for seniors. Yet beyond that, Addington Place of Shiloh provides 24-hour security to keep our residents safe. You - and they - can rest easy knowing they are always protected.
