Located in the vibrant Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, Ravenswood Senior Living offers independent living and supportive living for low-income seniors in a single location, allowing residents to age in place as their needs and lives change.
“Get to know us before you need us.” The Ravenswood Supportive Living program is certified by the Illinois Department of Health & Family Services. This program is designed to promote independence, dignity, respect and well-being for residents in a cost-effective manner. Depending on an individual’s financial and health status, Medicaid may assist for a qualifying resident’s cost of service in the Supportive Living Program (SLP). Illinois developed the Supportive Living Program (SLP) as an alternative to nursing home care for low-income older persons under Medicaid.
By offering personal care and other services, residents can live independently and take part in decision-making. Personal choice, dignity, privacy, and individuality are emphasized. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services has obtained a “waiver” to allow payment for services that are not routinely covered by Medicaid. These include personal care, homemaking, laundry, medication assistance, social and health activities, recreation, and 24-hour staff to meet residents’ scheduled and unscheduled needs. The resident is responsible for paying the cost of room and board at the facility.
Our residents have the security and peace of mind to live in their own apartments with support services and security. Ravenswood Senior Living program is designed to help seniors achieve a comfortable and rewarding lifestyle. The services we offer are personalized to fit each guest’s individual needs.
Ravenswood is a community that has all the conveniences of city living with neighborhood restaurants, shopping, parks, and public transportation via CTA and Metra. This charming Chicago neighborhood is a great place to call home!
