Groundbreaking set for Thursday for The Preserve at Heritage Woods in Minooka
Minooka – Bill Aeschliman, owner of JB Property Pros, LLC, is pleased to announce the latest advancements in the development of The Preserve at Heritage Woods, a comprehensive Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) designed to provide a seamless transition for seniors as their care needs evolve.
We are excited to announce a groundbreaking ceremony will take place this Thursday, October 10 10:30 a.m., at Heritage Woods. Adjacent to 701 Heritage Woods Drive, Minooka.
Heritage Woods of Minooka, a supportive living facility that opened its doors in 2017, is the first phase of this ambitious four-phase project, which has been in development for over 19 years. Once completed, the community will accommodate approximately 350 residents, offering a full spectrum of care options.
“Our neighborhood of senior services is designed to follow residents as their needs advance,” said Aeschliman. “This approach enhances their quality of life while providing families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are well taken care of at every stage of aging.”
The next step in this ongoing development is the introduction of The Preserve-Duplexes, which will feature 46 independent living duplexes for seniors aged 55 and older, scheduled for completion by 2025. Future plans include the construction of around 50 independent senior apartments, as well as a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. When the project is fully realized in 2027, it will ensure that residents do not have to seek additional facilities as their care needs change, fostering a supportive environment tailored to senior living.
“This project is filling a need for our senior community and growing an area of Minooka that is ready for development,” said Christina Van Yperen, Channahon Minooka Chamber President & CEO. “We cannot wait to celebrate the groundbreaking of The Preserve at Heritage Woods.”
All services available at the assisted living facility will also be extended to the duplex residents, who will receive priority access to other facilities on the property. The community will encourage an active lifestyle, featuring community gardening areas, pickleball courts, and plans for a clubhouse and lap pool.
“One of the hardest decisions seniors and their families have to make is: Where am I (we) going to live through the transition of aging?” Aeschliman said. “Our dream is to offer a community where, once you decide to become a resident, your quality of life is greatly enhanced by not having to hassle with the question, ‘Where do I (we) go next?’
We have facilities that can handle all of your aging transitions, providing peace of mind for residents and their families. Our goal is to create 2-3 more of these C.C.R.C. communities throughout Illinois,” he continued.
