A dear friend of mine lived here and I always loved coming to visit. Her room was so spacious. There was always an activity for us to participate in and even if we didn’t do the activity, it was a lovely place to just be with my friend.

Every single time I walked into Mom’s apartment, I found myself drawn immediately to the windows. And was always struck by the beauty and serenity of the view.<br><br>Having lived in the Chicago area my entire life, I can honestly say that there are few places anywhere in Chicagoland with a view as calming and special as this one — overlooking the river and hills, with birds landing on the water, wonderful natural light in the apartment throughout the day, and beautiful sunsets.

I always feel very well taken care of and secure, and love all the activities. The Lodge is The Garden of Eden!
