The Heathers Senior Homes opened up in Lake in the Hills IL in October of 2021, featuring 2 spacious, natural light-filled single-story homes designed to look and feel like residential properties. Each has 10 large, single-person bedrooms with private baths and 4 other rooms have accommodations for double occupancy. The property is located adjacent to a residential neighborhood and features a pavilion and fire pit for outdoor activities and a walking path that surrounds the beautifully landscaped 2 acres of grounds.
The Heathers prides itself on Doing Senior Living Differently. Family-owned and operated, the emphasis is on eliminating the loneliness, boredom and sense of helplessness that seems pervasive in many larger facilities. Our well-trained and very caring staff understands that their most important responsibility is to be actively engaged with the residents, whether it is with physical or cognitive exercises, arranging group activities, or spending quiet, authentic time with a resident who seems to be in need of comfort. Because of our smallness, our residents are always within eyesight of our staff when they are in our dining area, huge family room, or other smaller areas where they can read, listen to music or visit in private with family and friends. A salon, game room and exercise room are at their disposal as well. Family members are welcome to visit any time of the day or night.
Built during the COVID-19 crisis, our architect was able to create for each building, a private entrance into a room where family can visit without walking through public areas. Advanced technology was built in for extra safety utilizing bi-polar ionization tubes within the HVAC system to remove viral contaminants in the air. Each bedroom has self-contained temperature controls to meet the residents’ comfort needs.
