LIVE A FULFILLING RETIREMENT IN EVANSTON, IL

When visiting The Merion, seniors can’t help but notice the wide variety of programs and active lifestyle options enjoyed by residents. Though many senior living communities provide programs created to match residents’ interests, The Merion takes it one step further. Here, you’ll join a community that encourages the pursuit of knowledge for the sheer joy of it. Whether you pursue classes at Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes (OLLI), or take advantage of our many stimulating clubs, discussion groups, or outings, you’ll meet seasoned learners of all ages from all walks of life.

At The Merion, our lifestyle is designed to complement and enhance the already enriching lives of residents. By providing physical activities; lifelong learning opportunities; social programs that fit individual interests; and programming that enhances overall health, wellness and fulfillment – we make our active senior community stand out.

PROGRAMMING DESIGNED FOR DIVERSE INTERESTS

Our community programs aren’t created solely for the purpose of filling each day with something to do. Instead, it’s carefully planned with multiple categories of hobbies and interests in mind. This ensures a well-rounded approach to daily life while catering to residents’ different passions and needs. Our many activities are focused on categories that include:

  • Arts and Culture
  • Health and Fitness
  • Lifelong Learning
  • Music
  • Social Activities
  • Spiritual Wellness

When these categories combine, residents are inspired to live a healthy and happy retirement while discovering the best version of themselves. This further ensures they can lead a socially rich and interactive lifestyle and keep isolation and loneliness at bay.
