or the staff at Heritage Square, an award-winning independent senior living center in Dixon, it’s important to go beyond the basics to provide for each resident’s well-being. “We want to make every day better with the little things,” said Bonnie O’Connell, facility administrator. It doesn’t take long for new residents to regain a sense of independence and choices, without the burdens of worrying about who can drive them to the grocery store or doctor appointments, or getting help with the cooking and cleaning. Residents find they have less to worry about and more opportunities for recreation, and hobbies, and making friends – which is as simple as walking down the hall or finding company at meal time.
