Independent Living Cottages Expand Senior Living at Cedarhurst of Frankfort

FRANKFORT, IL (SEPTEMBER 30, 2026) – Cedarhurst Senior Living is excited to announce the completion of 32 new Independent Living Cottages at Cedarhurst of Frankfort, marking a major expansion designed to meet the evolving needs of Frankfort’s growing population of older adults.

Construction on the cottages began in Spring 2025, and all 32 Independent Living Cottages are now open. Residents are moving into their new homes, bringing Independent Living to the Cedarhurst of Frankfort campus alongside its existing Assisted Living and Memory Care options. The expansion creates a continuum of care that allows residents to enjoy an independent lifestyle today with additional support available on campus should their needs change in the future.

With the senior population in Frankfort and the surrounding area expected to grow by 16% over the next five years, and unmet demand for independent living projected to increase by 26%, the new cottages help meet a growing need for maintenance-free senior living options that offer both independence and a sense of community.

The new Independent Living Cottages are designed for older adults who value privacy, independence and the ease of low-maintenance living. Each cottage features a spacious two-bedroom floor plan with zero-step entry, walk-in closets, full-sized kitchen appliances, a laundry room with washer and dryer, private garage with an electric vehicle outlet, covered patio and a gas fireplace.

Cottage residents also have access to a variety of amenities designed to make it easy to stay active and connected. A dedicated clubhouse offers a daily continental breakfast and weekly three-course menu, while additional amenities include a putting green, gym, bocce court and shuffleboard court. Residents can also take advantage of programs, therapy services and transportation options available across the Cedarhurst of Frankfort campus.

“Today’s older adults want choices that allow them to continue living life on their terms, and these cottages expand the living options we’re able to offer to meet those needs,” said Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living. “Our goal is to create an environment where residents can spend less time worrying about home maintenance and more time enjoying the people, experiences and opportunities that are meaningful to them.”

The addition of Independent Living creates a more complete senior living campus at Cedarhurst of Frankfort, giving residents greater choice and flexibility as their needs and preferences evolve. Together, the Independent Living Cottages, Assisted Living and Memory Care offerings provide a continuum of options on one campus, allowing residents to focus on the lifestyle that fits them today with added peace of mind for the future.
