Ravenswood Supportive Living
Ravenswood Supportive Living sits in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood, at 1922 W Sunnyside Ave, serving residents age 65 and older in one-bedroom apartments within a mid-rise building. The Walk Score here hits 87, very walkable, and Ascension Saint Joseph – Chicago hospital sits under three miles away.
Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide round-the-clock coverage, and an on-staff physician handles on-site visits rather than requiring residents to travel for routine care. Personal care, homemaking, laundry assistance, and medication management cover the daily basics, while rehabilitation services, respite care, and hospice and palliative care extend into more specialized territory.
Three meals arrive each day, plus snacks, and the activities calendar stays full: fitness activities, card games, movies, special outings, guest entertainers, and religious services all show up regularly. A beauty salon with barber services, an activity room, an outdoor patio, and Wi-Fi access round out the amenities, and transportation assistance is available specifically for medical appointments, a detail that matters when a resident needs to see a specialist outside the building. Medicaid coverage is accepted here, which matters directly for the population this community is built to serve.
Ravenswood Supportive Living combines round-the-clock clinical support, a full daily activities calendar, and Medicaid coverage, the kind of combination that works well for older adults who want to stay independent while having real healthcare support close at hand.
