WHAT OUR RESIDENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES ARE SAYING

My mother has been living at Chestnut Square for about five years, and moving there was one of the best things she has ever done. She has a beautiful, well-equipped apartment that is comfortable and suits her needs. The residents and staff are some of the nicest people you could meet, and my mother has made several friends whose company she enjoys. The staff are caring and go out of their way to be helpful. My mother is very happy at Chestnut Square and her living there gives me great peace of mind, especially since I live out of the country.

There are no words to properly capture this moment and how it is going to change my life, my family’s life, and my parents’ lives. I feel like an anchor is being lifted today as I now will have them close by and in a place that will support their aging lifestyle. It honestly feels like Chestnut Square was designed years ago with my parents in mind. Thank you for changing our lives.

Living at Chestnut Square is like living in a top-rate resort, or on a cruise without the water. Best location, delicious food, and ample programs for one's physical, cognitive, and spiritual well-being. The place is impeccably clean. Kept us free of COVID-19 during the height of the pandemic. The food is healthy and delicious, staff are available 24/7, they are wonderful and go above and beyond my expectations.

I recently moved to Chestnut Square so that I can continue my independent lifestyle while still being close to family. From my first interaction, I was so impressed with how people are treated with a sense of humanity. As a new resident, I was welcomed into the community, which is friendly and comfortable. Within the first few days, both staff and residents greeted me by name. My apartment is a beautiful 1-BR with a den which is perfect space for me. When I need assistance, the staff goes above and beyond to help me with anything I need. The services provided like transportation to shopping and doctor's appointments, excellent diversified programming, and even a group for my favorite game, has made me feel right at home. The dining room and food service is wonderful. But it is the sense of welcoming that really stands out. I have met new friends and participated in some wonderful programming, including dancing on New Year's Eve. I was anxious about living in a retirement community but living at Chestnut Square feels like I am at home.

Really grateful we found this place—our mom loves it, and so do we. The staff is warm, friendly, and helpful—they all know all the residents by name. The ambiance is lovely; this feels like an upscale, Prairie Style apartment building. There's a full calendar of activities, and the staff clearly puts a lot of time and effort into ensuring the quality and variety of offerings, including holiday celebrations.

The staff of Chestnut Square—Vera, Megan, Michael, and Maria—always treat the residents like family. My mother-in-law has lived at the community for over 17 years. Yesterday was an example of their outstanding care. On her 100th birthday, they organized a fantastic birthday party and most of the residents attended. My mother-in-law was very touched, as well as the rest of the family. Outstanding people at an outstanding senior living facility. Thanks to all at Chestnut Square!

My family loves Chestnut Square at The Glen! My parents moved in about three years ago and everyone has made all family members feel welcome! With smiles when you walk through the door, to delicious meals served through the gorgeous dining room, my family feels this is home. With only three levels to the building, we feel connected to everything they have to offer starting with the veranda overlooking a beautiful view with a gazebo. My dad also loves the workout room, and they have a store to buy specialty cards. We have had a few small parties in a charming room (reminds me of a small Irish pub) for my Dad’s 87th B-day and my niece’s baby shower. My mom goes to work out classes 3 times a week and they have many art classes and things of interest for all…Most importantly, the people that work there are so warm, thoughtful and kind and make my whole family feel welcome every time we visit. I can wholeheartedly recommend Chestnut Square at The Glen to everyone wanting a very fine place to live!

We chose Chestnut Square three years ago because 1) The size was comfortable and not overwhelming like most of the places we researched; 2) The location in the beautiful Glen of Glenview was ideal. I am a walker and Elliot is a bike rider and there is a large park across the street and three shopping areas in walking distance plus the lovely streets of homes; 3) We were well treated at our initial contact and have continued to be so. We are able to choose our decor in our apartment refurbishing. Our two-bedroom apartment has adequate space for our living and dining furniture, the bedroom holds all five pieces, and the second bedroom is a comfortable den, TV, and computer room. There is adequate closet and storage space. The food has been excellent, ample, and beautifully served.

We moved my mother to Chestnut Square from Los Angeles so she would be closer to us as she aged. She has now been here over nine years and is really happy with her living situation. The employees are so kind, the social opportunities are abundant, and the programs have been both enjoyable and educational. I am thrilled that she has found friends with whom to share her daily experiences and has told me that these past years have made her really happy. We looked at five or six different communities before she came here and there's no doubt that she made the right decision when choosing Chestnut Square. As her daughter, I feel confident and comforted that someone always has her best interests at heart.

Great people! Great staff! Great food! We love having our mother here knowing she’s well taken care of and in a safe and friendly community.

Chestnut Square has a great location near shopping and restaurants, the Glenview Park Center, and the Glenview Senior Center. The building and grounds are very attractive and well maintained, there’s a beautiful dining room with very good food, and the community offers discussion groups, card games, talks, entertainment and more. The residents are a diverse, interesting, and caring group, and we made many new friends here. Also, no more meal preparing, house maintenance, yard work or snow shoveling.

The community is appealing in so many different ways. The residents are friendly and energetic, and the staff are simply excellent. We also love the location...we can walk across the street and find great restaurants, shopping and walking trails!
