Live Well, Age Well, Be Well

Serving adults in the Park Forest and surrounding areas, our community is an extension of Pathway to Living, a program and a promise to celebrate life by fostering a stimulating, comfortable and openhearted environment.

The lifestyle at Victory Centre of Park Forest supports residents in the next phase of life. People are choosing Victory Centre of Park Forest as home because they would like to have someone walk with them on their path, not stand in the way. Life enrichment is our priority. Through Pathway to Living's award-winning VIVA! philosophy, residents are growing - physically, mentally and spiritually.

At Victory Centre of Park Forest, we offer Pathway to Living's signature, award-winning VIVA! lifestyle - an approach that offers an entirely new way of aging healthfully and happily, encouraging and inviting residents to live each day with purpose, fulfillment, and meaning. VIVA offers a combination of programs, including a number of proven Pathway to Living's signature programs that have been perfected over time, as well as customized programs developed specifically for individual residents.

Signature programs include:

ArtPath:

Inspire the artist within! We offer regular and ongoing instruction in various art mediums for both beginning and experienced artists.

Lifelong Learning:

Every month, our residents engage in programs from college level courses on various topics to adult educational series on photography, literature and other resident interests.

Victory Gardens:

Residents have the opportunity to maintain their own vegetable garden and curate seasonal ingredients. It's not uncommon for a summer dish to be topped with our own homegrown vegetables.

Viva! World Tour:

Viva! World Tour invites residents to see the world, experience exotic cultures and practice foreign languages, all without ever leaving home. Viva! World Tour expands the mind while satisfying the travel bug.

Good Vibrations:

During Pathway's Drumming and Vibrations circles, residents tap into their creative spirit. Using a variety of rhythmic instruments, residents exercise self-expression and socialization with friends. Plus, it's an effective full-body workout!

See Spot Retire:

Adopt, don't shop! At Pathway, we're committed to rescuing dogs who need a loving and forever home. Every Pathway community you visit will have a four-legged resident!
