Maywood Supportive Living is an affordable, caring, all-inclusive assisted living community. It features the adaptive re-use of the former Baptist Retirement Homes

The Maywood community serves low-income older adults, including those on Medicaid or those who receive monthly Social Security benefits. Maywood Supportive Living is operated under the Illinois Supportive Living Program, a cost-effective financial program that assists adults 65 and better in maintaining their financial independence.

What is Supportive Living?
Supportive Living provides cost-effective, affordable residential living and support services for adults 65 and older who are in need of assistance. Administered through the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the Supportive Living program combines apartment-style living with personal care and other services that are covered by the state’s Medicaid program. Thanks to this unique state program, Supportive Living residents can live affordably and independently in an environment where personal choice, dignity, privacy and individuality are emphasized.

Supportive Living vs. Assisted Living
Supportive Living and assisted living offer similar services, however, assisted living communities tend to be more costly, and they do not accept payment from Medicaid. Furthermore, when assisted living residents are no longer able to pay privately, they must leave. On the other hand, at Supportive Living Communities such as Maywood, services are provided at a reduced or subsidized cost.
