Discover Your Next Chapter at Remington Woods Open House | Saturday, October 3 | 10 AM–3 PM
Some places simply feel like home.
Tucked quietly among the trees in Channahon, Remington Woods invites you to explore beautiful single-family ranch homes in an established 55+ community known for its peaceful streets and welcoming atmosphere.
Hosted by Brandy Crask, Director of Sales of Ravinia Communities, this open house offers a chance to tour the last four available homes and experience the quietest streets in&nbsp;Will&nbsp;County, tucked away in the woods.This isn't a retirement lifestyle here. It's a quiet lifestyle. 
“What I love most is how it feels here—the quiet streets, the trees, and the room to enjoy your own home,” Crask says. “I’ve put so much thought into these homes and their luxury upgrades. Seeing someone walk in and begin imagining their life here is the best part.”Brand new single family homes, 1300- 1600 sq ft, from $125,000- $182,500. 
With the final phase complete and only a limited selection of homes remaining, this is a special opportunity to find your place at Remington Woods.
“Remington Woods gives you the feeling of coming home before you have even chosen which home is yours.”
Remington Woods | Channahon, Illinois Saturday, October 3 | 10 AM–3 PM 815-426-9834 for details.

Timbers of Shorewood

The Timbers of Shorewood is hosting an educational program titled “Medicare Workshop: Important Changes for 2027” at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6 at the Timbers, 1100 N. River Road, Shorewood. Presented by Advocate Insurance Agency, the presentation will address how to review current coverage, evaluate provider networks and make informed choices to ensure health plans align with medical needs. The program is free and open to the public.
According to data from the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS), nearly 70 million Americans rely on Medicare for their healthcare coverage. However, a Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) analysis of federal Medicare survey data found that nearly seven in 10 beneficiaries do not actively compare their coverage options during the annual open enrollment period, and historically only a small share of beneficiaries voluntarily switch plans each year.
“Medicare rules and plan options evolve every single year, making it easy for seniors to feel overwhelmed or inadvertently miss out on better coverage,” said Sheila Albor, director of marketing at The Timbers of Shorewood. “We wanted to get local experts in front of our residents and neighbors before open enrollment starts, so people have time to compare their options instead of just re-signing for whatever they had last year.”
Medicare's annual open enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, giving seniors a limited window each year to review and change their coverage.
This presentation is part of the 2026 Timbers Educational Series, a multi-month initiative designed to bring expert guidance on senior health, safety and wellness directly to the local community. 
The schedule for the Timbers Educational Series includes:
<ul>
 <li>Tuesday, Oct. 6 – Medicare Workshop: Important Changes for 2027 </li>
 <li>Tuesday, Oct. 13 – Preparing for Respiratory Season </li>
 <li>Thursday, Nov. 5 – Veterans Benefit Seminar </li>
 <li>Tuesday, Nov. 17 – Getting Your Affairs in Order </li>
</ul>
The Timbers of Shorewood is a rental retirement community that provides independent and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services. Residents whose needs may change are able to stay in the same place and receive appropriate and compassionate care. Furnished apartments are also available for short-term stays.
Again, all programs in the series are free and open to the public. For more information, visit <a href="https://www.timbersofshorewood.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.timbersofshorewood.com</a> or call 815-609-0669.
