Danville Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Assisted living facilities in Danville are not as expansive as you find in the metropolitan regions of Illinois, but there are options. Danville is a smaller community that sits on the edge of Lake Vermilion. The town holds approximately 32,000 residents, almost 17 percent of them over the age of 65. For seniors looking for a small town life in Illinois that offers dining, shopping and entertainment, than Danville may be the right choice.

One distinct advantage to life in Danville is location. The town sits just 120 miles away from the entertainment and fine dining available in one of the countries largest cities, Chicago. Seniors making a home there can expect cold winters, but relatively mild summers with temperatures only reaching the mid 80s. Residents of Danville have access to 17 local parks, including the FETCH dog walk. The town offers a mass transit bus system for easy movement to key areas. In addition, Vermilion County and Danville have a vibrant and active arts community that includes multiple theater groups, opera and a symphony orchestra. Danville is the childhood home of Gene Hackman and Dick Van Dyke.

Shopping in this small community can be found at the local mall, which provides access to major department stores and small niche businesses. Seniors can buy fresh fruits and vegetables as the Country market. Danville offers access to a small regional airport and rail service.

In Danville assisted living facilities, senior residents will have the help they need for daily tasks and service coordination for healthcare. Staff members provide monitoring to ensure that elderly residents are safe and well. This differs from a full care faculty, which has on site nursing for those who require convalescents and around the clock medical care. Assisted living is more advanced than just a senior residence, however. Not all senior communities provide monitoring or healthcare coordination like you find with ALF. In Danville, an ALF residency would average around $3,400 a month.

Danville Illinois may be the place to look in the Chicago area for assisted living plus a quiet, small town life with access to shopping, parks and Lake Vermilion.
