Retiring At A Medical Center?

By Alice Lane

To some that may sound a bit bizarre and to others it sounds comforting. To those who are doing it life is grand. The Medical Center is Riverside and it is one of the top dogs in independent retirement living.

As a matter of fact, it is the only program of its kind in the Chicago area and in the greater Illinois healthcare system. Riverside Senior Living views retirement as a time for fun and leisure along with a time for learning and continuing to grow. One way the residents do this is by giving back to the community. Learning and growing often accelerate when you are helping others. By serving from their hearts, they not only help themselves but more importantly they help others including the other residents and the staff. A Riverside declaration that is not only said but lived is "Punctuate your life."

The belief that life is discovery is determined by the questions asked. The proof that life is a journey is often presented in the rough part of the road we travel down. Without the rough parts, much like the rain, there would be no celebration, much like the rainbow. The fact that we are all connected is illustrated when we help heal others, as we ourselves are then healed which in turn then continues to heal others. This is a simplified description of some of the beliefs at Riverside Senior Living. For a more detailed view please go to Riversidehealthcare.org.

The options for living are many and varied. You can choose from active independent living to 24-hour fully assisted Chicagoland assisted living when necessary. Another program offers compassionate and nurturing care for Alzheimer 's disease or Dementia. When you need assistance in your life it is good to know that caring and nurturing professionals don't see it as their job but more importantly see it as their calling.

They are there to assist you in every step of the way whether it is by asking the questions to interpret the discovery in your life, by helping you celebrate your life or by being there with a helping hand to do those things you can no longer do. Retiring at a Medical Center no longer sounds so bizarre but it should begin sounding more comforting.
