Meet Lily, one of our amazing concierges at Beacon Hill! 💛

Lily grew up in the Chicago area before moving to the suburbs as a teen, and she first joined Beacon Hill in 2020 in the dining room. In 2024, she returned in her current role, where she loves building genuine connections with residents and making a positive difference in their day.

When she’s not helping residents, Lily is pursuing a degree in Business Administration with a focus on Human Resources at College of DuPage. She’s a big family person, has an identical twin sister Alondra, and grew up in a household full of laughs, pranks, and Chicago sports excitement! 🏀⚾

We’re so lucky to have Lily on our team—she’s always bringing warmth, care, and a smile to everyone she meets! ✨

Last week we celebrated National Puzzle Day with a fun puzzle competition! 🧩 Each group tackled the same puzzle, and the competition got intense (and a little heated!) 😅. In the end, a winner was crowned and of course, earned a well-deserved pizza party! 🍕🎉

And along the way, Judy and Lowell said, “I do,” proving that love can continue to grow and deepen at every stage of life.
