Last Friday, we decided not to let winter win.

It was -12° outside, but inside we had piña coladas, music, and a full dance floor.
Roger and Jim went all in on the tropical drinks, while Bill and Diane found a good seat and took in Barrett Hasselwood’s live music.

Winter is still here, but days like this make it feel a little shorter.

Jalaine’s been on a roll lately at Wii bowling—strikes, spares, you name it. If you’ve ever thought about joining in, this is your chance. It’s all in good fun, and there’s always room for one more on the lanes🎳

What’s your favorite spot at Beacon Hill? 🎨🏊‍♀️📚The art room? The pool? A quiet corner in the library? There’s plenty to choose from—two gyms, cozy lounges, even a store when you need a quick pick-up. And the best part? We can get to all of it without stepping outside. Be sure to say hi to Lily at the concierge desk while you’re out and about. 👋✨

Meet Gloria 💛

Giving back has always been important to Gloria, and living at Beacon Hill makes it easy for her to continue supporting causes close to her heart.

This past week, she partnered with our driver Amy to deliver pop tops to the Ronald McDonald House. Each little pop top may seem small, but together they help raise funds to provide meals, lodging, and support for families caring for sick children. It feels meaningful to Gloria to know that something so simple can make such a big difference.

Life at Beacon Hill isn’t about slowing down. With the support, transportation, and opportunities here, Gloria stays engaged, active, and continues giving back in ways that matter to her. We’re proud to have her as part of our community!

🍕 “One of my favorite things about living at Beacon Hill is how easy it is to enjoy Chicago’s incredible pizza — whether we’re heading out with friends or ordering in with family. From thin crust to deep dish, it’s all part of the fun. And at the end of the day, it’s always nice coming home to this community.” ❤️

New class, new moves! We gave Circuit Training a try today and it was a hit. Low impact, lots of encouragement, and stations that help with strength, balance, and mobility. Already looking forward to the next one!
