Presence Bethlehem Woods Retirement Community in La Grange Park provides assisted-living care. Residents who need help with daily activities receive scheduled and unscheduled assistance, and the community is set up to support diabetes management through regular monitoring and medication coordination. On-site physical therapy is available for those recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions, and families can arrange respite or other short-term stays when temporary help is required.
The community maintains an emergency call system in every residence and common area, backed by staff who are on duty around the clock. Team members respond to health alerts, coordinate with outside medical providers when necessary, and complete routine wellness checks. These measures are in place to reduce response times, enhance resident safety, and give families additional peace of mind.
Accommodations range from studio apartments and efficiency layouts to units with kitchenettes, balconies, decks, or patios. Select residences include wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite television, and utilities. Some apartments open to landscaped outdoor walking paths, gardens, a butterfly garden, or a central fireplace lounge. Because floor plans differ, not every apartment has every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining is provided three times daily with restaurant-style service and an all-day menu. The culinary team prepares meals that can meet gluten-free, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets, and a professional chef oversees menu development to include international options. Healthy snacks, guest meals, and seasonal BBQs or picnics are offered, and residents can request accommodations for personal preferences when possible.
Residents have access to an activity center, dedicated game room, and a movie or theater space for scheduled showings. Regular programs include stretching and fitness classes, health and wellness sessions, arts and crafts, book club meetings, bingo, cooking classes, and wine tastings. Social calendars feature off-site day trips, intergenerational events, clubs and community gatherings, and swimming sessions in the on-site pool, ensuring a range of options for both active and low-key engagement.
