CHICAGO: A multimillion dollar senior housing complex being set up by Verandah Retirement Community sponsored last week a Seniors Musical Night at Shree Jalaram Mandir in Hoffman Estates
This concert turned out to be a grand success judging from the fact that hundreds of seniors including leading community members attended the program and extending their good wishes for the project.
‘Verandah’ is a seniors housing complex currently under development in the Schaumburg area. The location is central and close to new Elgin-O’Hare expressway. Chicago’s O Hare airport is about 30 minutes away and downtown Chicago is about 45 minutes away. The area also has two excellent medical centers. The Schaumburg area is central to many other attractions important to the Indian community such as the BAPS temple and Jain temple in Bartlett, Swaminarayan temple in Carol Streams, Itasca temple and Radhey-Shyam temple.
There are also two mosques located within a few minutes of the property. The Gurudwaras of Palatine and Wheaton are within 25-30 minutes. There are many grocery stores close by.
‘Verandah’ will offer town homes and condominiums for sale with a huge Clubhouse and medical facilities for use of the residents. The town-homes and condominiums are especially built for senior living and offer a convenient, low maintenance lifestyle. The Clubhouse will be the main attraction feature of the community. It is planned as a 10,000 square feet facility which will serve vegetarian Indian and multicultural cuisine for lunch and dinner. The property will also offer extensive landscaped areas including a big pond, park and walking paths.
The medical services will include a doctor’s office, physical therapy office, home-health service and an Assisted Living & Memory Care facility. “Our emphasis is on socialization of the seniors. Loneliness is a big problem in our senior community”, said Dr Anuja Gupta – founder and general partner of Verandah.
“Verandah is a unique project which celebrates both Indian and American lifestyles thru a fusion of cultures, traditions, music, food and activities.
“This kind of facility is much needed for our community” said Sunil Shah, founder president of FAI Schaumburg.
