I love living at ChestnutSquare. It’s like living permanently at a first class Resort or, as I often tell people—it’s like being on a luxury cruise without the water. I throughly enjoy the independent living: yet, there’s help for me as close as the phone. For example, if my sink clogs up, I report it & it gets fixed at no extra charge. Meals are healthy & delicious. Weekly house keeping is treasured. I attend an exercise class 5 days a week. I enjoy, participating in physical, cognitive & spiritual programs of my choice. I am very grateful to get to live here. Elizabeth Walsh Alitto.

One of the most difficult times in a family's life is discussing living arrangements with an aging parent. In our case, the situation was make more difficult due to the effects of Macular Degeneration on my mother-in-law. Thank God we found Chestnut Square. Literally from our first phone call we knew we were in the right hands. Responsive, experienced, compassionate, resourceful.....all describe the staff at CS. My mother-in-law passed away peacefully last month having spent the last five years of her great life feeling loved and nurtured by the incredible staff and culture of Chestnut Square. For all families dealing with the tough decisions of aging parents, call Chestnut Square. The decisions are probably easier than you think. Jack Moore

I spent the better part of 9 months researching the entire retirement community industry to try and find the right/best fit for my mother's needs and preferences. Chestnut Square is such a unique and wonderful place, I consider us fortunate it was an option so nearby where we live in Glenview. It truly is an absolute home run. here is what makes it so special and unique; it was the ONLY independent living community I could find that offers assisted nursing options in 15 minute increments. That may sound like it's not a big deal, but everywhere else and any other external providers we contacted had much higher minimum time charges for coming into my mom's unit to assist her, usually 2 hours minimum time charges. Their unique partnership with Bethany Health seems to afford them the ability to offer this unique option. So, as my mom ages in place, if she just needs help taking meds in the morning, we can pay a 60-min nurse fee. If she needs help just bathing, same thing. It's brilliant and was a major advantage of Chestnut over other facilities. The price and economics of the buy-in were reasonable, they customized my mom's unit to her liking and everything was upgraded when she moved in. My mom loves her unit.<br><br>Beyond that aspect, the staff is truly exceptional. What you'll notice immediately is how much the staff seem to both like each other, and their jobs. Every person I've interacted with since we moved my mom in last year is always in a good mood, always seems happy to be there and they seem to really enjoy taking care and socializing with everyone. My mom can't stop talking about how much she loves the food, they do a great job of mixing up food options so things stay fresh and new. They offer every type of club, activity, outing, and social option you could want and the entire building is spotless at all times. Nothing but love for everyone at Chestnut. Thank you for taking such great care to serve and support my mom on this next chapter for her. Eternally grateful and thankful for all of you there.

I am into my seventh year of living here. As the years go by, my experience here has become better and better. You don’t have to look for something to do, they have everything right at your doorstep. Exercise, educational, spiritual programs and more! It is easy to have friendships, everybody is different but everybody is alike.
