Resident Stories:

Louisa's Story

Louisa has been a resident at Castle Towers since 2020 and loves the Bensenville neighborhood in which she’s found community. She’s made a point of not “going to sit up behind four walls and get stiff” but instead is actively involved in her community, especially intergenerational programming.

As someone who used to work with kids before retiring, interacting with younger generations is a passion and joy for Louisa. That’s why she makes a point of attending the game afternoons that the community puts on with local youth. “Working with children is from my heart,” says Louisa. “I love them, and they love me.”

“To come out, exercise and mingle with the children, the staff, the tenants… It’s good to come out and do that,” says Louisa. “I don’t have time for feeling down and all of that. I like to stay active.”

When our residents are well, they are more engaged and happy parents and grandparents, and they contribute to the welfare of their greater communities.
