Vernon Hills' Seniors Enjoy New Home

Loreto Williams has found a new home at the Victory Centre senior community in Vernon Hills.

The 85-year Filipino native had been living with her daughter for many years in Vernon Hills but decided she wanted her own apartment and needed a facility that could care for her daily needs. In late March, she moved into one of the supportive living units at the new senior housing complex at 97 Philip Road.

“I love it here,” she said. “I have no complaints (about) the food, the service or staff. My neighbors on the second floor, we all eat together. I love my room.”

The 231-unit Victory Centre by Pathways Senior Living fulfills a long-awaited village goal of providing more affordable senior housing for the community. The complex features two attached buildings, one consisting of 111 senior apartment units and the other building with 120 supportive living units for seniors that require a greater level of care.
