An original idea inspired by personal experience
When Patricia Will founded Belmont in 1998, she did so out of love of family. A medical real estate developer, she was seeking a better place for her mother-in-law, who was experiencing cognitive decline. Unable to find a community that combined the highest levels of hospitality and care, Will decided to create one herself.
Collaborating with Chicago-area hospitals and universities
When Will founded the very first Belmont Village community in 1998, she leveraged connections with the Texas Medical Center. She knew that in order for seniors to have the most enriching lives possible, hospitality and care had to be interconnected. Since then, such partnerships have defined our programming model nationwide and collectively enhanced the Belmont experience.
Our Chicago-area Belmont Village communities work closely with experts at Northwestern University’s Department of Geriatrics and Feinburg School of Medicine Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease, which focuses on the causes and clinical characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases.
TAPPING WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE TO REDEFINE SENIOR LIVING
Accessing teams of specialists from universities, healthcare institutions, and professional organizations is the developmental model for every Belmont Village community. We not only collaborate with these institutions, we sponsor research. The thought, research, and design that go into our development has changed the paradigm of senior living, offering an experience based on reward, not denial.
Premium dining and hospitality
Food is one of life’s great pleasures. To elevate this experience for our residents, the team at Belmont Village created our dining program with hospitality, food service, ergonomics, and engineering experts at the University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management.
Everything from the quality and nutritional value of the food, to the plating, to the architecture and design of our dining areas, to the room temperature was scrutinized and fine-tuned. Most importantly, we listened to our residents, to deliver a food and service experience seniors appreciate.
Evidence-based memory care programming
For residents experiencing mild to moderate cognitive decline, our award-winning memory care program Circle of Friends® takes a comprehensive approach that includes exercise, education, nutrition, and social engagement.
Demonstrably effective at mitigating the effects of memory loss, this program was developed through partnerships with neurologic researchers and clinicians at universities, the International Alzheimer’s Association, and other respected healthcare institutions and organizations. Here in Chicago, our work with the Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease at the Northwestern University Feinburg School of Medicine has helped to influence our programming for whole brain fitness.
Unparalleled clinical support for ongoing health and wellness
Tailored to each resident’s need, our holistic health and wellness program is supported on-site by licensed nurses and a trained staff 24/7. It includes nutritional and clinical support, physical and mental fitness, learning, social interaction, medication management, physical therapy and rehabilitation.
We also collaborate with the Department of Geriatrics at Northwestern University, which was ranked sixth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in 2020. Visiting physicians with the university actually provide primary care for many of our residents.
Continuity of Quality Guaranteed
Unlike other senior living communities that are managed by third party operators, Belmont Village builds, owns, and operates all of our communities. This means residents can rest assured that they will receive a consistent level of experience in programming, service, amenities, and dining for the long term.
Designed to meet the needs of every resident
Delicious food, fantastic amenities, engaging social activities, stimulating memory-care programming, and comprehensive clinical and therapeutic support. Here, everything comes together to help residents live their best lives, even if their lives change further down the road. Experiences are tailored to meet the personal needs of all residents, including couples requiring different levels of care who wish to continue living together.
