Bradley, Illinois (PRWEB) September 22, 2013 -- St. Anthony of Lansing, a BMA affordable assisted living community, will host an open house from 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 24.
The community, which is located at 3025 Spring Lake Drive in Lansing, Illinois, serves low-income seniors who need some help to maintain their independence.
A welcome ceremony will begin at 9 a.m. and include remarks from Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.

"We invite you to visit St. Anthony of Lansing and see the wonderful community we provide and how we are able to help residents maintain their independence and dignity," said St. Anthony Administrator Laurena Carter.

The St. Anthony of Lansing assisted living community was developed on more than four acres of property on the east side of Chicago Ave., north of 178th St., in Lansing, Illinois. The community - a $27.9 million development that opened this summer - houses 125 one-bedroom apartments. Reservations are being accepted.
"We are providing older adults with a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home," says Carter.
The community combines residential apartment-home living with the availability of personal assistance, help with medications, and a variety of convenience and support services, such as meals, housekeeping and laundry.
Residents live in private apartments that they will furnish and decorate to their tastes. Each of the apartments features a kitchenette, spacious bathroom with shower and grab bars, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and emergency alert system.
Certified nursing assistants, working under the direction of a licensed nurse, are on-duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Residents also benefit from all of the opportunities that will be available to socialize with friends and neighbors and to participate in activities and special programs," says Carter.
St. Anthony is certified to operate through the Illinois Supportive Living program, which emphasizes personal choice, dignity, privacy and individuality.
