Kerry asked a lot of questions to help narrow down our options. She recommended several places to help us determine what size/feel would work best for our situation. Kerry set up the appointments for our tours and checked with us to get feedback. Our timeline for moving needed to happen sooner than we thought, and Kerry helped keep us on track. My father-in-law is happy with his new home and we appreciate Kerry's help.

Several months ago I'd grown increasingly worried about my mom's safety at home. The day we were to…read morediscuss assisted living with her doctor, I found myself calling 911 and sending her to the hospital for what would be 51 days, sepsis, 2 surgeries & 2 rehab stints. Having her return home was no longer an option; which led me to quickly get to up to speed on senior living options,mostly on my own. I found her a place & moved her in all before her release. While I ensured her safety, I second guessed my decisions as she vocally struggled to adjust; it was a lot of change particularly for someone who rarely left her home. Almost 6 months in, a different set of doubts & worries took over. Did I make the right call, could she live somewhere more affordable, would she outlive her money, etc. I don't even recall what search term led me to Senior Living Experts, but I'm grateful. Rebecca listened to my story and made me feel less alone. She thought where my mom was at was the best option in terms of cost, desired location and care needs addressed, but would do the research and circle back. We also discussed the care she received currently and provided a few suggestions. As promised, Rebecca followed up and confirmed her initial assessment. Yes, I'll still worry about her finances, but I now have a better understanding of the landscape and what comes should her care needs increase. If I had a do over, I would have started with Senior Living Experts, they are amazing!

At no cost to us, Joe narrowed things down to just three places that met our requirements for budget, zip codes, and the specific care needs of my mother. We finished touring three relevant communities in just one afternoon, rather than the three weekends we had planned on allocating. After our tours, he clearly laid out the pro's and con's of each. As a result, we were able to make a calm and optimal decision about what was best for mom, not a shoot-from-the-hip decision. She's very happy where she is, and so are we. Wow, did he save us time and trouble, and from the risk of making a poor decision.

Most of the residents and staff are very friendly and interesting - we have enjoyable conversations and interactions every time we visit. My father enjoys the exercise classes, meetings, and meals in the dining room and with various groups. The food service is offered in a grill setting, carry out, and also a fine dining room which offers truly delicious meals. The facility is nicely sited within a neighborhood and seems the right size to our family - not too large and not too small. His apartment is spacious, comfortable and the right size for him. My father was initially against moving out of his home where he has lived well over have his life but is now so happy, busy, and engaged every day. He had to move into the nursing care for a few months for a severe wound to heal and has now successfully moved back into his independent living apartment.

The staff are caring, helpful, kind and generous with their time. The facilities are lovely - and I feel welcome every time I visit. They all go overboard to assist visitors and residents alike. Everyone seems genuinely comfortable and happy. The food offerings are abundant and deliciously prepared. There are options to dine in a casual 24-hour available cafe as well as a lovely dining room with excellent food. The staff is helpful and I've always them treat everyone with respect, kindness and and are willing to help with a smile and go the extra mile. There is every amenity possible, a broad array of "classes", beautiful choices in housing, swimming pool, gift shop, salon services, movie "theatre", game room, and so much more. The gorgeous art that covers the hallways are created by the residents who are working and living artists who are able to feature their work of aa monthly reception. I could go on and on but I'll leave it here. Go see for yourself..and it's a "forever home". As you need more services, they are available, so no need to move to another "home" to receive the medical services you require. It's a wonderful place.

He is now much better now that he is out of Artis. If you visit, take note of how many families feel the need to hire private care in addition to memory care. Terrible!

My mother has been living at Mather Place for over a year now and it has been an excellent…read moreexperience all around. I decided to write a review because I didn't see one here on Yelp that felt like it accurately reflected our positive experience of the place. I learned about it from friends who mentioned that their parents had been quite happy there, and for good reason! The apartments are modern and tasteful, and the physical space is elegant and well-cared for, and it is full of so many great amenities included in the price - an art studio, indoor pool, library and computer center, movie theatre, outdoor patio and gym just to name a few. There are two restaurants - one a more casual cafe and the other a more formal dining room, and both have very good food. (The way that the food is paid for has changed she moved in, which was a bit of an adjustment, but it hasn't raised the cost of dining for her). The residents all seem quite happy, and my mom has made several lovely new friends. I have found the staff to be warm and engaging all round, and would say they do a good job of making sure every newcomer feels welcome. My mom was coming from out of state, so this really mattered to us. There are other features my mom has not utilized much, such as the field trips into the city but she has enjoyed wine-tastings, musical concerts, and participating in the choir and art classes. They have a van that makes weekly trips to Trader Joe's and Jewel with residents, and residents can arrange for their driver on call to bring them to medical appointments or other places nearby. It is an Independent Living community, but there are lots of walkers around and several folks who have caregivers who come and go. One potential challenge is that there is no step up to Assisted Living, so it may not be a fit for everyone but I have appreciated that there is a full time RN who maintains an office onsite who is available to everyone to assist with any short term medical concerns or coordination of care. Honestly, we have zero complaints about Mather Place and it has been such a relief for my whole family to have found such a quality place. I would recommend to anyone looking for a month to month arrangement within an independent living community on the north shore.

I live in California and could not travel to the Chicago area to help her. I was desperate. From the moment I spoke with a receptionist, then with Shola, one of the case workers, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Shola explained clearly what they could and could not do for my sister, what their schedule could be, what the rates were. Before plans were finalized, I also got a call from Jonathan Wishnick, the owner -- this truly is a business where the owners know what is going on and care about their clients. When Senior Helpers went to meet my sister, they called back with some concerns about her situation of which I had been unaware -- thanks to them, we were able to resolve those problems and now my sister is thriving. For two months we have had a lovely lady named Sara going to my sister for three hours each day. Now that my sister is in better health she will have a visit only once a week. My sister loves Sara's visits. I'm not sure if I can say enough about how grateful I am to Senior Helpers. I was terrified when I learned that my sister had been hospitalized, that she was sent home unable to care for herself -- and I was thousands of miles away unable to help. I almost cannot believe that there could be a "business" that can step in and fill the place of family, taking care of my sister with such dedication and kindness. I am eternally grateful!
