“St. Anthony’s Catholic Retirement Community, located on 68th Street near Research Medical Center in Brookside, plans to help its first group of residents move into their independent living apartments late this spring.
The community, named after St. Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church and patron saint of the elderly (and lost items), features 120 independent living units in a nine-story tower and in the future will have 30 assisted living units and 50 memory care units in single floor buildings. Most of the building features floor to ceiling glass windows to allow lots of sunlight in, which plus the décor and intuitive design for seniors gives the place a modern homey feel.
‘We wanted it to have a different feel, more urban and not institutional,’ said Kathy Finnegan, Director of Marketing and Sales for St. Anthony’s.”
