Construction is underway for Heritage Woods of Minooka, a new $18 million affordable assisted living community in Illinois.
The community, which will be managed by Gardant, is expected to open next spring. It will serve older adults of all incomes, including those on Medicaid, who need some help to maintain their independence. Heritage Woods will operate through the Illinois Supportive Living Program, which provides a residential alternative to nursing homes.
The 83,000-square-foot, three-story building will house 101 studio and one-bedroom apartments. Each of the private apartments will feature a kitchenette, bathroom with shower and grab bars, individually controlled heating and air conditioning units, and an emergency alert system.
In addition, Heritage Woods of Minooka will have community areas, including a dining room, fitness area, and library.
Worn Jerabek Wiltse Architects PC is the architectural firm. Horve Builders is the general contractor for the project.
