Pathway Senior Living, Lake County Residential Development Corp. and the Village of Vernon Hills have good news for seniors and their families who live in Vernon Hills and surrounding communities. On Thursday, December 2, at 3 p.m. they will break ground, with the help of Vernon Hills Mayor Roger Byrne, on construction of a new Senior Apartment and Supportive Living senior community on West Phillip Road adjacent to the Aspen Drive Public Library. The new community, named Victory Centre of Vernon Hills, will offer older adults high-quality, independent living and service-enriched housing that promotes wellness and independence—all at an affordable price.

The senior living community consists of a Senior Apartment building located at 99 W. Phillip Road, Vernon Hills, featuring 111 units, and a Supportive Living facility located at 97 W. Phillip Road, featuring 120 units, 16 studios and 104 junior one bedroom apartments.

“Pathway’s mission has always been to provide high-quality accommodations and services at an affordable cost,” said Bob Helle, Principal, for Pathway Senior Living. “Victory Centre of Vernon Hills, the 11th Victory Centre in Chicagoland, will offer area residents and their loved ones the peace of mind that comes with knowing a helping hand is available should they need it, all at a price they can afford.”

The new Victory Centre community will offer apartment-style housing featuring private residences that residents can furnish and decorate according to their own individual taste. The Supportive Living building will also offer the added conveniences of support services and assistance with personal care and other health services. Residents will have access to three meals a day, weekly housekeeping, scheduled transportation and social, educational and wellness activities as well as help with bathing and dressing, medication management and other support services. In addition, income-qualified residents are eligible to receive financial assistance through Illinois’ supportive living program to defray the cost of assisted living services. Supportive living is a program exclusive to Illinois that offers Illinois’ older adults the ability to utilize Medicaid to subsidize a significant portion of their monthly payment.

Victory Centre of Vernon Hills is scheduled to open early 2012. For more information about qualifications, services, floor plans and pricing, please call
