The Heathers Senior Homes in Lake In The Hills and Ringwood, IL were named to honor the recently passed matriarch of the family, Sophia (Sally) McDiarmid Kratz, who was born in Scotland where heather grows wild. The homes provide comfortable and safe retirement living with a strong emphasis on vitality for seniors needing assisted living and memory care. The Lake In The Hills location consists of two single-story homes, each housing 18 residents in a casual, non-institutional, familial setting. The Ringwood location is a spacious, updated single-family home with room for 9 residents and features a peaceful screened outdoor patio. The Heathers Senior Homes believe that growth can occur at all stages of life and foster continued independence in their residents. They offer life-long learning opportunities, encourage physical and mental exercise, and provide a sense of purpose through self-governance and self-determination. The Heathers Senior Homes aim to do senior living differently by creating a warm and engaging environment for their residents.
