Assisted Living, Independent Living & Residential Care · Aurora, IL

Overview of Sunnymere

Aurora, Illinois is where Sunnymere sits, offering three things under one roof: independent living, assisted living, and residential care. It’s not a place you’d walk everywhere from. The Walk Score comes in at 38, which means a handful of errands might be doable on foot, but most trips are going to mean getting in a car.

The building is two stories, and here’s a detail worth pausing on: residents live in suites, not just single rooms. That’s more space, more privacy, a setup that reads less like a typical single-room assisted living unit and more like an actual apartment with services layered on top.

Transportation services mean residents aren’t dependent on family members every time they need to get to a doctor’s appointment or run an errand. Fitness and recreation programming gives people a reason to move their bodies and interact with others on a regular schedule, not just whenever they happen to feel like it.

Offering independent living, assisted living, and residential care simultaneously is actually a meaningful structural choice. It means someone could move in needing very little support and stay put even as that changes, rather than having to relocate somewhere new every time their care needs shift. Suite-style housing, transportation on hand, and three care levels under one address: Sunnymere looks built for residents who want room to be independent right up until, and even after, that starts to change.
