specifically to support those with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other
memory-impairing illnesses. Designed to create an atmosphere in
which residents can enjoy living in the beautiful River Forest
neighborhood, the building will include top-tier amenities such as
a bar and bistro dining option with pizza oven, dining and living
rooms, spacious apartments, a physical therapy studio, an onsite
hair salon, a fitness studio, a landscaped rooftop patio, and
onsite parking.
“The Village of River Forest goes above and beyond to support
the needs of its seniors (especially those suffering from some form
of dementia). Their extraordinary efforts have led to River
Forest’s recognition as a “dementia friendly community” by Dementia
Friendly America,” said Robert Gawronski, Vice President of
Development & Acquisitions at Senior Lifestyle. “With 33 of its
125 apartments specifically designed to serve residents in need of
memory care, The Sheridan at River Forest will help fulfill the
Village’s goal of expanding the available dementia care resources
in town while also offering high quality housing and care options
for seniors in need of assisted living.”
The Sheridan at River Forest will reflect the modern, urban feel
of the neighborhood with nods to the Frank Lloyd Wright House
located just three blocks from the community. In addition to
providing a range of assisted living and memory care accommodations
to meet the housing needs of River Forest’s growing senior
population, The Sheridan at River Forest will also create more than
100 new jobs in the community. The retirement community will sit on
1.5 acres of land at on the corner of Chicago and Harlem, just
blocks from Chicago’s public transit system.
The Sheridan at River Forest has a target opening of early 2021.
