No Place Like Home
A dream becomes reality for Avenues residents 

Ask Jim Kearns what he thinks of his home at Avenues and he'll tell you, "It's great."

But even great places need extra care to stay that way. And that is why the No Place Like Home initiative was launched earlier this year to update and renovate some of Avenues' aging properties. 

To date, numerous improvements have been completed at the Sasser Family House and the Clifton Avenue apartments in Park Ridge. The facelift of the Sasser Family House began with the installation of new windows made possible by a generous donation from Board member Fred Sasser and his wife Pam. Renovations continue to be made throughout the apartments and common living areas including new carpeting, new cabinetry, accessible walk-in showers, and landscaping. When the project is complete, it is the goal of the No Place Like Home initiative to have every apartment sparkling. 

Work on the other five sites of the Avenues properties is planned including landscaping, painting, installing new carpeting and flooring, renovating kitchens and baths, and replacing aging furniture and appliances. 

Most of us share a common dream. It's a simple one ...to have a place to call home ...a retreat, a sanctuary, a respite from the daily stresses of our lives. For the program participants at Avenues, that dream is no different.
