When you feel safe and secure in your home as you grow older, you can truly live larger. At Peace Village, our senior living safety and security measures enable you to enjoy every day, reassured by our surroundings and our staff.
Built for Senior Safety and Accessibility
Peace Village isn’t just a beautiful, elegant and comfortable community with safe living spaces for seniors. It’s also thoughtfully designed with features that help you maintain physical independence. You’ll find wide hallways with railings, accessible door handles, walk-in showers, and light switches just where you need them. Lighting at Peace Village is perfect for safety in senior living communities with bright illumination so our residents can see surroundings clearly. Vital technology for senior safety in living communities reduces the risk of life-changing falls, keeping our residents healthy and physically sound. Professional and trained staff are available 24/7 to provide assistance and respond to your emergency call systems in senior living at Peace Village.
Benefits of these safety features for our residents include a much lower risk of falls, enhanced independence and increased confidence.
Security and Safety Are Priorities
Many people feel more vulnerable as they grow older, concerned about the safety and security of their home. Peace Village’s retirement community safety measures put those concerns to rest. We have senior living secure access control with limited entrances, manned by trained staff on duty 24/7. Our security professionals maintain our grounds and our building with continuous surveillance, providing the premier 24/7 security in retirement communities.
Your Home Is Worry-Free
For many residents, living larger means travel and making your home at Peace Village means locking your apartment door and leaving any worries about frozen pipes, leaking roofs, break-ins or flooded basements behind. Your home will be in excellent order, just as safe and secure when you return as when you left – whether it’s just a long weekend or a month abroad.
Going Places Securely and Safely
As reflexes slow and vision changes, transportation can become a challenge – especially in the crowded southwest suburbs of Chicago. Maintain your independence and stay safe with the Peace Village shuttle service. This fully accessible, climate-controlled vehicle takes you where you want to go and then delivers you back home in comfort and style, while you enjoy the views of Palos Park, Orland Park and Tinley Park through the window, leaving the stress and aggravation of driving and maintaining a vehicle behind you.
Health Protection
Living at Peace Village means having emergency support 24/7 in the event of a medical crisis. Residents are assisted by trained and professional staff quickly and, with Palos Fire Protection Station #2 just across the street, can be transported to trauma care almost instantly.
The health and wellness of our residents is monitored regularly. If desired, our trained and professional staff can help manage medications, keeping residents healthier through medication compliance. Studies show that early detection and health monitoring in senior living saves lives. Recovery is more likely when illness is detected, diagnosed, and treated in the early stages. Regular checkups also help prevent falls, detect medication side effects and interaction, and prevent future illness.
When residents work out in our fitness center, they are greeted by staff trained to assist with the equipment and monitor their progress, helping residents stay strong and fit while avoiding injuries, stress or strain.
Our chefs actively help improve our residents’ health with delicious and savory meals packed with the freshest ingredients for the biggest flavors. Menus are developed with the nutritional needs of older adults top of mind and taste a priority.
Emotional Security
Living larger means expanding social lives, giving residents emotional independence. With multiple opportunities for games, clubs, crafts and conversation nearly every day, residents feel a sense of purpose, joy and friendship. Life is fulfilling at Peace Village and many activities involve helping others. While residents reminisce fondly, they also engage in ways to be useful and assist the surrounding community of all ages.
When seniors are socially active, surrounded by friends and a caring, compassionate staff, they have a lower risk of depression and anxiety, a lower risk of cognitive decline, better physical health including heart health and their immune system, and better self-esteem, all of which helps them live a healthier, longer life.
Committed and Caring Staff
Peace Village is especially proud of our trained and professional staff who have been committed to our residents for years. In fact, our long-term family of employees is the real reason Peace Village is the premier senior retirement community in the Chicago area. Their care, compassion, engagement and involvement with our residents is the heart of Peace Village.
Safety and security becomes more and more important as we grow older. At Peace Village, we provide the features and services needed to give our residents and their families peace of mind.
