With Memorial Day behind us and warm days ahead, it's time to fully enjoy the summer. The Roosevelt at Salt Creek and our larger Elmhurst, IL, community give you plenty of ways to enjoy the nice weather outdoors and cool off indoors when the afternoon sun gets too hot. Here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy the summer weather (and stay safe while doing it!).
As the day progresses, temperatures tend to rise. Make the most of your outdoor time by planning activities in the morning, before it gets too hot or humid, or in the evening, when it has cooled down. As part of our upcoming renovation, you’ll soon be able to enjoy our new dog park, pickleball court, and beautiful greenspace - all at The Roosevelt!
Our campus is also located just south of Elmhurst, offering easy access to beautiful bike trails, walking paths, and the 37-mile Illinois Prairie Path (North America’s first roads-to-rails conversion!). The area boasts so many amazing summer activities for seniors to enjoy.
If you are outside in the afternoon, choose shaded areas and paths, and don't forget your hat, water bottle, and sunscreen. It can be easy to become dehydrated or sunburnt during the heat of the day, which is why summer safety for seniors is so important.
Some of the most cherished summer memories are made by spending time with loved ones and friends. With our convenient location, downtown Elmhurst is just a quick drive away, offering golfing, parks, outdoor events, and more! The Elmhurst Farmers Market, open every Wednesday from June to October, is the perfect place to find fresh products including fruit, vegetables, honey, baked goods, and flowers.
Want more? Check out Art in Wilder Park, an annual Elmhurst tradition and resident favorite featuring public art installations and over 130 booths of artists. There’s always something fun to do during the summer in Elmhurst!
One of the best ways to beat the summer heat is by cooling off in the water. The Roosevelt Fitness Center offers a luxurious indoor pool and water aerobics classes, perfect for cooling off and rejuvenating you for the rest of the day.
When the sun is blazing or a rainy day changes your plans, there’s still so much to do! Play some pool or enjoy one of our weekly Happy Hours. The Roosevelt offers a wide variety of indoor summer activities for seniors. For more entertainment, head to downtown Elmhurst to discover museums, art galleries, the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, live theater, and eateries.
The summer months are some of the most enjoyable times of the year. Enjoy the freedom of maintenance-free living at The Roosevelt, where you have the freedom to use your time as you wish. Whether you're interested in picking up a new hobby, exploring the local area, or making new friends, there are endless possibilities.
