Drexel Horizon in Cicero offers an independent living setting designed for older adults who do not need daily assistance with personal care but value access to reliable medical oversight. The community provides on-site medication management, ensuring residents receive the correct prescriptions on schedule and helping them coordinate refills and adjustments with their physicians. A trained team monitors adherence and is available to address questions about dosage changes or potential interactions. This service allows residents to maintain independence while reducing the risks that can come with self-managing multiple medications.
Beyond medication management, the community maintains a staff presence 24 hours a day to handle urgent health concerns and to coordinate outside medical providers when necessary. Scheduled wellness reviews track vital signs and general health indicators so changes can be identified early. Emergency call systems are located throughout the property, giving residents a direct line to immediate assistance. Transportation arrangements for off-site medical appointments are available, and staff can share updates with designated family members to keep everyone informed.
Residences at Drexel Horizon are available in multiple floor plans, and not every unit includes every feature. Some apartments allow pets, giving residents the option to bring a companion animal. Selected common areas feature a central fireplace that offers a comfortable gathering spot, and several units provide direct access to outdoor areas. Parking is available for residents who still drive, although space may be limited and is assigned according to community guidelines.
Daily meals are prepared on site, and the dining program offers set menus with rotating options designed to meet common dietary needs such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Staff can help coordinate texture modifications or special physician-ordered diets. Mealtimes are scheduled but flexible seating encourages residents to dine at their own pace, and take-away containers can be arranged for those who prefer to eat in their apartments.
Residents can spend their free time in the activity center, use the landscaped grounds that are designated as allowed outdoors areas, join scheduled social outings to local shops and events, or swim laps in the community pool.
