Overview of Autumn Fields of Tilton

Autumn Fields of Tilton offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Tilton, IL. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Having independent living, assisted living, and respite care in one community may suit a resident whose support needs change over time or a family needing temporary care.

The community has 48 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents get to know each other, which may suit someone who prefers a smaller community. Room options include studios for a single private space, one-bedroom units for separate living and sleeping areas, and two-bedroom units that can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

An enclosed courtyard with a gas-burning fire pit, outdoor patio, and gardens gives residents an outdoor area within the community, while the theater room provides an on-site place to watch movies. The beauty and barber shop allows residents to receive salon services without arranging an outside visit. The Walk Score is 30 / 100, a car-dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for errands. Aoj Operations operates the community.

Overview of Ascension Living Resurrection Village

Ascension Living Resurrection Village is a mid-rise, 37-unit community at 7262 W Peterson Ave in Chicago’s Norwood Park neighborhood, operated by Presence Senior Services-Chicagoland. The care levels span memory care, assisted living, and independent living, with units in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Resurrection Medical Center is 0.28 miles from the front door, which is among the closer hospital proximities you will find for a community this size.

The facility is rooted in the Catholic faith tradition, and pastoral and spiritual care are part of the service package alongside the practical daily supports: housekeeping, transportation, beauty services, and rehabilitation. Registered dietitian consultations are available. Exercise programming and organized social activities fill out the wellness side. A volunteer program is active.

The amenity footprint is substantive for 37 units. On-site you get a library, salon, spa, patio, fitness center, greenhouse and garden areas, bike paths, and free ground-level parking. That breadth is unusual at this scale and suggests a campus built for longer stays.

The Walk Score is 47, meaning Norwood Park requires a car for most daily tasks. State inspections have tended to center on care planning and documentation and fall and injury prevention.

For families placing a loved one within a Catholic care tradition, or those who want memory care paired with independent and assisted living on the same campus and a hospital within a quarter mile, this community is a specific and coherent fit.
