Vi at The Glen reinvests in<br />
the exceptional retirement<br />
To some North Shore retirees, it<br />
may seem as though life couldn’t<br />
get any better. One community is<br />
determined to demonstrate that<br />
there’s always room for improvement.<br />
With a $4.8 million remodel<br />
underway, life at The Glen is<br />
getting more enviable every day.<br />
Located in Glenview, Vi at The<br />
Glen pairs the area’s signature<br />
warmth with the comfort and amenities<br />
of luxury senior living. The<br />
result is a highly sociable, maintenance-free<br />
lifestyle that allows<br />
residents to truly enjoy the best of<br />
all worlds.<br />
Now, a remodel of The Glen’s<br />
common areas and amenities —<br />
targeted for total completion in late<br />
2020 — is marking a new chapter<br />
for the retirement-redefining<br />
community.<br />
Setting the stage for sociability<br />
In a community that prides itself<br />
on hospitality, it’s no surprise that<br />
improving social spaces is a top<br />
priority. Scheduled to be finished<br />
this November, Phase I of the remodel<br />
will focus on the living<br />
room, the drawing room and a full<br />
bar where residents will be able<br />
to enjoy signature cocktails while<br />
mingling with family and friends.<br />
“Social connection is a key part<br />
of what makes our community so<br />
special,” said Vi at The Glen Sales<br />
Director Sian Moynihan. “Creating<br />
spaces where everyone can<br />
gather, relax and enjoy each other’s<br />
company is so important.”<br />
Phase I will also introduce a theater<br />
where residents will be invited<br />
to attend movie nights, lectures<br />
and other special events — another<br />
opportunity for the community’s<br />
social calendar to shine.<br />
“Our goal is for the new spaces<br />
to foster a welcoming atmosphere,”<br />
Director of Interior Design Misha<br />
Mann said. “It’s all about<br />
creating something that’s both<br />
distinguished and friendly.”<br />
A culinary program worth savoring<br />
The upgrades will also include a<br />
reimagining of The Glen’s culinary<br />
program. All three of the community’s<br />
on-site restaurants will be<br />
renovated, with the casual Bistro<br />
to be completed as part of Phase I.<br />
In addition to striking architectural<br />
redesigns, each of the restaurants’<br />
menus will be updated.<br />
“Scratch cooking is at the heart<br />
of our kitchen,” said Vi at The<br />
Glen Executive Chef Jose Luna.<br />
“Whether you’re picking up your<br />
morning pastry or sitting down for<br />
a high-end dinner, you’ll get something<br />
unique that was made with<br />
fresh ingredients.”<br />
Reconceived restaurant Bridges<br />
will feature upscale comfort food<br />
with a modern twist. The Glen’s<br />
fine-dining restaurant, Great Lakes,<br />
will focus on contemporary, experiential<br />
meals that are designed to<br />
inspire celebration.<br />
“In all of our restaurants, we<br />
want to strike a balance between<br />
familiar, favorite dishes and opportunities<br />
to try new cuisine,”<br />
Luna said. “We don’t want to give<br />
you what you expect from a retirement<br />
community. Dinner doesn’t<br />
need to be just dinner. It can be an<br />
experience.”<br />

Chestnut Square: A beautiful<br />
community with new friends awaits<br />
Since opening in 2003,<br />
Chestnut Square at The<br />
Glen has been one of the<br />
North Shore’s most popular<br />
choices for independent<br />
senior living.<br />
The reasons are many,<br />
but to fully understand<br />
what makes the community<br />
so special, we think<br />
our residents, families<br />
and staff give the best<br />
perspective of all:<br />
“Moving to Chestnut<br />
Square was one of the best<br />
decisions my wife and I<br />
ever made...our only regret<br />
is that we didn’t do<br />
this sooner! There’s always<br />
something new and exciting<br />
happening and we’ve never<br />
met a nicer group of people.<br />
When my brother saw how<br />
happy we were, he decided<br />
to make Chestnut Square<br />
his new home also.”<br />
-Don Klein<br />
“I wanted to find a place<br />
where I felt an instant connection<br />
with the residents<br />
and the staff, and Chestnut<br />
Square gave me a warm<br />
feeling the moment I<br />
walked through the door. I<br />
especially love all the<br />
events...I’ve done more in<br />
eight months than I have in<br />
the past eight years.”<br />
-Dee Knapik<br />
“We wanted to find the<br />
best location, lifestyle and<br />
value, and that’s why we<br />
chose Chestnut Square.<br />
Everyone we meet is<br />
friendly, the meals have<br />
been excellent and we’ve<br />
got the Glenview Senior<br />
Center right across the<br />
street.”<br />
-Clayton and<br />
Doris Welter<br />
“I’ve worked at Chestnut<br />
Square for over 10<br />
years and the residents<br />
have become a special part<br />
of my family. Everybody<br />
is so nice...it’s why I love<br />
my job!”<br />
-Maria Latacz<br />
“The residents are so<br />
welcoming...they want<br />
you to feel part of their<br />
community from day<br />
one. There are so many<br />
activities and excursions<br />
to choose from. Units are<br />
well-maintained. There<br />
is formal dining every<br />
night and brunch on Sundays.<br />
My mom is safe,<br />
happy and close to her<br />
family now. I have Chestnut<br />
and the wonderful staff<br />
there to thank for that.”<br />
-Beth Huber<br />
Located at 2601 Chestnut<br />
Ave. in Glenview,<br />
Chestnut Square at The<br />
Glen features spacious<br />
floor plans, all-inclusive<br />
services and amenities,<br />
a signature dining program,<br />
diverse cultural<br />
and recreational events,<br />
scheduled transportation,<br />
weekly housekeeping and<br />
24/7 concierge services.<br />
Homecare and home<br />
health services are also<br />

Did you know that kids<br />
from 8 to 18 spend on average<br />
7.5 hours per week<br />
consuming entertainment<br />
media from YouTube to<br />
traditional TV to Netflix?<br />
Researchers have found<br />

Creators<br />
At Codeverse, we believe<br />

and what they want<br />
to build. Kids love video<br />
games and interactive<br />
apps. Rather than turning<br />
away from technology altogether,<br />
we can channel<br />
kids’ interest in technology<br />
to unleash amazing<br />
creative energy.<br />
Codeverse is a modern,<br />
high-tech studio where<br />
kids learn to code, build<br />
apps and video games, and<br />
interact with cutting-edge<br />
technology, including professional-grade<br />
sound and<br />
light equipment, Craft-<br />
Bot 3D printers, TVs and<br />

The Codeverse Crew<br />
Membership<br />
With the “Codeverse<br />

and games every week during<br />
afterschool or weekend<br />
classes.<br />
In addition, membership<br />
includes remote access<br />
to the Codeverse coding<br />
platform, allowing kids to<br />

Caring for the caregiver<br />
While we were on-site at the Elderwerks<br />
Education and Resource Fair: Planning To<br />
and Through Retirement for Seniors and<br />
Older Adults, a visitor posed the following<br />
question: How do we help a caregiver/<br />
spouse who is taking care of a loved one<br />
with dementia?<br />
Oftentimes we see caregivers who try to<br />
become silent superheroes. They sacrifice<br />
sleep, proper nutrition and exercise. Many<br />
who are still working or raising families<br />
admit their minds aren’t engaged. Careers<br />
suffer, and life on the home front becomes<br />
strained. The bottom line is a caregiver who<br />
tries operating in an “always on” mode becomes<br />
sick or so severely run down they<br />
can no longer deliver the necessary support<br />
to their loved one.<br />
Although some people look at reaching<br />
out for help as a sign of weakness or “defeat,”<br />
seeking assistance is a very practical<br />
and responsible approach. Over the years, I<br />
have spoken with dozens of caregivers we<br />
have helped, and a common thread is surprise<br />
at the vast amount of quality resources<br />
available and regret that they hadn’t reached<br />
out for help earlier.<br />
If you or someone you care about is grappling<br />
with life balance while meeting the<br />
needs of a loved one or friend, Elderwerks<br />
offers a printed Senior Resource Directory<br />
for Illinois, which includes all local and<br />
federal programming such as transportation,<br />
nutritional projects, social services,<br />
charities, etc. You can also view an electronic<br />
version of the guide on our website at<br />
Elderwerks.org.<br />
Hiring a home care agency with employees<br />
proficient at working with dementia<br />
patients is the prescribed route. These<br />
professionals can come in for a few hours<br />
per day, offering a breather, permitting you<br />
to work, go shopping, get some exercise or<br />
even enjoy a day at the spa. It’s also important<br />
to seek out help, and accept help, from<br />
family and friends who can pitch in by performing<br />
some basic household chores, paying<br />
bills, cooking or running errands.<br />
Supporting a person with dementia is a<br />
full-time job that requires the labor and love<br />
of many. Please don’t go it alone.<br />
Jennifer Prell is President of Elderwerks<br />
Educational Services, a not-for-profit<br />
501(c)3 organization offering complimentary<br />

Most adults understand the importance<br />
of exercise for overall health. But<br />
what about the other aspects of wellness,<br />
beyond fitness?<br />
Residents at Covenant Living of Northbrook,<br />
a 55-acre senior living community,<br />
have access to a complete range of<br />
resources, events and programs designed<br />
to promote active aging and achieve<br />
whole-person wellness.<br />
Many people look at wellness as onedimensional,<br />
focusing only on fitness.<br />
Covenant Living of Northbrook addresses<br />
eight dimensions of wellness through<br />
their LifeConnect® wellness philosophy:<br />
community, emotional, intellectual, physical,<br />
resident/staff involvement, social,<br />
spiritual and vocational.<br />
According to the 2016 National Wellness<br />
Benchmarks Report by the International<br />
Council on Active Aging, participants<br />
in wellness programs enjoy a high<br />
quality of life. More than half of residents<br />
who participate in wellness programs are<br />
“very satisfied” with their overall quality<br />
of life in the community.<br />
Covenant Living of Northbrook offers<br />
a variety of choices to help residents continue<br />
living, learning, growing and challenging<br />
themselves - from dining options,<br />
programs and day trips to educational<br />
classes, physical activities and volunteer<br />
opportunities both on campus and within<br />
the community.<br />
Dining<br />
The community offers monthly meal<br />
plan options and flexible dining times.<br />
Menu selections are updated regularly<br />
and include daily specials in addition to<br />
weekly lunch and dinner menus. The executive<br />
chef prepares meals that are delicious<br />
and healthy. Residents can dine<br />
together in the bistro, dining room or take<br />
food to go.<br />
Learning<br />
Residents can take part in foreign-language<br />
classes and art classes and attend<br />
on-campus theater and musical performances.<br />
A raised-bed gardening space<br />
is available for the green thumbs in the<br />
community.<br />
Volunteering<br />
Throughout the community’s history,<br />
residents have made a commitment to<br />
give back to communities in the Northbrook<br />
area. Community-minded individuals<br />
on campus serve as educators or<br />
volunteer for a variety of outreach activities.<br />
Intergenerational programs connect<br />
residents with area youth.<br />

Picture<br />
yourself at<br />
Chestnut<br />
Square!<br />
I’m forgetting ... Is this a problem<br />
or a part of normal aging?<br />
Do you find yourself<br />
forgetting things lately?<br />
Ever walk into a room and<br />
can’t remember what you<br />
came there for? Have difficulty<br />
finding where you<br />
parked your car in the mall<br />
parking lot? Thought you<br />
might be experiencing the<br />
beginning stages of Alzheimer’s<br />
disease?<br />
Everyone experiences<br />
forgetfulness. It is a temporary<br />
condition that usually<br />
can be resolved. Some<br />
factors that contribute to<br />
forgetfulness are stress, fatigue,<br />
depression, nutrition<br />
deficiencies and drug overdoses<br />
or interactions. Other<br />
more normal factors that<br />
may cause forgetfulness<br />
include distractions, preoccupation,<br />
multi-tasking<br />
and acting on “auto-pilot.”<br />
Normal memory loss is<br />
referred to as age-associated<br />
memory impairment, or<br />
benign memory loss due<br />
to aging. It does not affect<br />
our social or intellectual<br />
functioning.<br />
Memory loss that disrupts<br />
everyday life is not<br />
part of the normal aging<br />
process. It is a symptom<br />
of dementia, a gradual<br />
and progressive decline<br />
in memory, thinking and<br />
reasoning skills. Early<br />
symptoms of Alzheimer’s<br />
disease often include recent<br />
memory loss, which<br />
may cause difficulty in<br />
performing familiar tasks<br />
such as handling the<br />
checkbook or preparing<br />
meals, difficulty learning<br />
new tasks, loss of a sense<br />
of time and problems with<br />
language.<br />
Before a diagnosis is<br />
made, other conditions<br />
must be excluded, some<br />
of which are potentially<br />
reversible. Do not assume<br />
that you or someone you<br />
love has Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
Instead, pursue a<br />
thorough evaluation, involving<br />
physical, neurological,<br />
psychological and<br />
psychiatric examinations<br />
and laboratory studies,<br />
which should yield a fairly<br />
accurate diagnosis.<br />

Spotlight on a business changing<br />
the way we support seniors with dementia<br />
Name of Business:<br />
Fit Minds<br />
Name of Chicago<br />
Leadership:<br />
Ann James Harvey<br />
What services does Fit<br />
Minds offer:<br />
Fit Minds provides<br />
one-on-one and group<br />
cognitive stimulation programming<br />
for seniors and<br />
senior living communities.<br />
Fit Minds’ certified<br />
coaches meet regularly<br />
with seniors to provide<br />
cognitive stimulation lessons,<br />
supporting what research<br />
tells us about the<br />
brain’s ability to build<br />
resilience and create<br />
new neuron pathways to<br />
prevent memory loss.<br />
Why is cognitive<br />
stimulation important?<br />
Research suggests when<br />
we stop engaging in cognitively<br />
complex tasks,<br />
we lose synaptic connections<br />
in our brain. Connections<br />
that are not used<br />
are deleted in something<br />
researchers call “synaptic<br />
pruning.”<br />
At the same time, we<br />
lose that assumed socialization<br />
and competitive<br />
drive that kept<br />
us on our toes in “the office.”<br />
It is all too easy<br />
to do what is familiar<br />
and not challenge your<br />
brain with new content<br />
and to stop “old” tasks<br />
we used to have to do<br />
daily.<br />
What attracted you to the<br />
work?<br />
1. Mission – We believe<br />
in supporting seniors to be<br />
all they can be. Dementia<br />
changes relationships. It<br />
does not end them.<br />
2. Track Record – Fit<br />
Minds has a stellar reputation<br />
of impact in Canada<br />
and Florida.<br />
3. Price Point – Affordable<br />
price point<br />
4. Monthly reporting to<br />
track cognitive levels and<br />
engagement<br />
In addition, people are<br />
searching for substantive<br />
ways to support loved<br />
ones with dementia. I hear<br />
it from personal friends<br />
to business colleagues<br />
to senior living home<br />
executives and board<br />
members.<br />
How did you get involved<br />
with Fit Minds?<br />
Fit Minds’ CEO Janet<br />
Knupp is a former<br />
colleague and longtime<br />
friend. Janet saw the<br />
benefits of the program<br />
when her own mother had<br />
coaching three times a<br />
week in Tampa, Fla. Impressed<br />
with its impact,<br />
she brought Fit Minds to<br />
the United States.<br />
The Fit Minds program<br />
originated in Canada,<br />
where Fit Minds programming<br />
is in 25 percent of<br />
senior living communities.<br />
With my background as<br />
a social worker and my experience<br />
working with Janet<br />
in other mission-based<br />
organizations, we decided<br />
to launch it in Chicago. I<br />
became a certified coach<br />
in July and already have<br />
clients at The Vi, Lake<br />
Forest Place and private<br />
residences.<br />
What is the most<br />
rewarding aspect of this<br />
work?<br />
When I walk into their<br />
homes and their faces light<br />
up with a smile. And when<br />
they say thank you and<br />
tellme it was fun.<br />
Fit Minds help seniors<br />
refocus on what they can<br />
do versus feeling hopeless<br />
after a diagnosis of dementia.<br />
Think of it as a personal<br />
trainer of the mind. We<br />
help rebuild confidence in<br />
what seniors can do.<br />

No bones about it: Osteoporosis isn’t just a women’s disease<br />
How strong are your<br />
bones? It’s likely you<br />
don’t know unless you are<br />
a woman over 50. In fact,<br />
bone health is important<br />
for everyone. Here are 5<br />
myths about bone health<br />
you need to know.<br />
1. Men don’t have to<br />
worry<br />
False. While women<br />
may lose bone mass earlier<br />
due to hormone changes<br />
related to menopause, men<br />
are absolutely at risk for<br />
developing osteoporosis.<br />
In fact, according to the<br />
National Osteoporosis<br />
Foundation, men over 50<br />
are more likely to break a<br />
bone due to osteoporosis<br />
than get prostate cancer,<br />
yet most men are unaware<br />
of their risk.<br />
2. Osteoporosis is silent<br />
Yes and no. Osteoporosis<br />
is often referred to as<br />
a “silent” disease. Bonedensity<br />
declines after the<br />
age of 30 with no symptoms<br />
unless a fracture<br />
occurs. If bone loss continues<br />
to progress to osteoporosis,<br />
bone fragility can<br />
result in the onset of multiple<br />
fractures, postural issues<br />
and contraction of the<br />
paravertebral muscles resulting<br />
in muscle fatigue<br />
and pain often reported in<br />
the lower back.<br />
3. Kids aren’t at risk<br />
False. Thinking about a<br />
child or adolescent’s skeletal<br />
strength now could<br />
protect them in the future.<br />
Young bodies need<br />
physical activity to reach<br />
peak bone mass and many<br />
young adults are more tied<br />
to their screens than physical<br />
play. Young athletes<br />
may also be at risk if they<br />
are too lean or have an<br />
eating disorder.<br />
Instilling a healthy diet,<br />
exercise and awareness at<br />
a young age will go a long<br />
way toward building the<br />
bone mass needed for a<br />
long active life.<br />
4. Calcium supplements<br />
help increase bone density<br />
False. Many research<br />
studies have shown that<br />
there is little or no statistically<br />
relevant correlation<br />
between calcium supplements<br />
and increased bonemass<br />
density at a rate high<br />
enough to affect fracture<br />
risk.<br />
In fact, high dosages of<br />
calcium may have troubling<br />
side effects on your<br />
health, including increased<br />
risk of heart attack, stroke,<br />
kidney stones and gastrointestinal<br />
issues. In a frequently<br />
cited 2015 journal<br />
article, Mark Bolland and<br />
his team of researchers in<br />
New Zealand cautioned<br />
the recommendations of<br />
calcium supplements, noting<br />
that the cardiovascular<br />
risks of high calcium intake<br />
outweigh the benefits.<br />
Does this mean eliminate<br />
calcium completely?<br />
Not at all. Calcium is important,<br />
it’s just not a magic<br />
pill for building bone<br />
density. As always, talk<br />
to your doctor about the<br />
best plan for your personal<br />
health.<br />
5. You can’t improve bone<br />
density once it’s lost<br />
False. You can strengthen<br />
your skeletal system<br />
and increase bone density.<br />
The first line of defense is<br />
exercise, but not just any<br />
kind.<br />
While swimming is excellent<br />
for your heart and<br />
lungs, weight-bearing and<br />
resistance exercise is the<br />
key to strengthening your<br />
bones.<br />
There are programs<br />
designed specifically for<br />
building bone density<br />
safely. Being active and<br />
maintaining a healthy diet<br />
at every age helps keep<br />
your bones strong, but if<br />
you have already been diagnosed<br />
with osteoporosis,<br />
your doctor may offer you<br />
a prescription as well.<br />

move for a year, and that<br />
not everything would be<br />
for sale immediately. So<br />
we began by taking photos<br />
of items they are ready to<br />
sell. Then we sent out the<br />
photos to buyers we knew<br />
would be interested.<br />
The owners’ in-laws had<br />
lived and worked for many<br />
years in Korea, and some<br />
of their inherited things<br />
had the flavor of that culture.<br />
Several of our buyers<br />
are thrilled to purchase<br />
items from unusual and<br />
exotic cultures. We called<br />
them in first.<br />
Then we sent the clients’<br />
collections of snuff<br />
bottles, silver pieces and<br />
Asian jewelry to an auction<br />
house. Several pieces<br />
of furniture were moved<br />
to a consignment store in<br />
their area.<br />
When the time comes,<br />
we will again call in appropriate<br />
buyers for everything<br />
don’t want to keep.<br />
A realtor called us<br />
several months ago with<br />
a minor emergency. Her<br />
clients’ Victorian mansion<br />
was about to be listed for<br />
sale, and there were many<br />
valuable collectibles that<br />
needed to be removed<br />
for the clean and uncluttered<br />
look the realtor was<br />
asking for.<br />
We sent copious photos<br />
to our collectors, designers<br />
and shops, set up appointments,<br />
met buyers when<br />
the homeowners weren’t<br />
able, and within days, the<br />
house was ready for viewing.<br />
In that home, there<br />
were several amazing collections<br />
of American pottery,<br />
small interesting Victorian<br />
artifacts and African<br />
folk art collected by the<br />
owners.<br />
We enjoy selling collections<br />
because there’s<br />
something about groupings<br />
and variations on a<br />
theme that appeals to our<br />
buyers and their public.<br />
Speaking of collections,<br />
one of our clients in<br />
Northbrook called us in<br />
to see his collection of<br />
kaleidoscopes.<br />
We took photos of hundreds<br />
of ‘scopes throughout<br />
the house and are placing<br />
them as we speak with<br />
an auction house that specializes<br />
in collections. The<br />
client — a former ad man<br />
— also has a collection of<br />
artwork from the ’70s and<br />
’80s that he is interested in<br />
placing.<br />
We lined him up with an<br />
appraiser from one of our<br />
auction-house connections<br />
to inventory and assess the<br />
potential of each piece.<br />
A client from New York<br />
was given our name by<br />
Baird and Warner from<br />
a preferred resource list.<br />
His mother — a locally<br />
important interior designer<br />
from the ’50s — had<br />
recently passed away, and<br />
it was his job as executor<br />
to sell her Gold Coast<br />
condo.<br />
Once again, a lot of African<br />
items sold quickly to<br />
a design shop.<br />
The interesting but<br />
less valuable items were<br />
quickly scooped up by an<br />
antiques shop owner. We<br />
also facilitated the dispersal<br />
and clean-out of the<br />
condo before it went on<br />
the market.<br />
We’re hopeful that our<br />
case histories have given<br />
you a good idea of the<br />
right time to call us — almost<br />
anytime you have a<br />
grouping of items to sell!<br />
We can quickly tell you<br />
what we can do for you.<br />

North Shore Compassionate<br />
Care: An emphasis on<br />
dependability and quality<br />
North Shore Compassionate<br />
Care is an independent<br />
home care agency<br />
located right here in<br />
Highland Park.<br />
Its owners Mike Glickman<br />
and Steve Wilneff<br />
are long-time area residents<br />
and are also the<br />
primary case managers.<br />
John Vuckovich, of<br />
Deerfield, has now joined<br />
the management team as<br />
Managing Director.<br />
Their combined community<br />
knowledge and involvement,<br />
business acumen,<br />
hands-on approach to<br />
every case, and the significantly<br />
higher salaries paid<br />
to their caregivers makes<br />
<strong>NS</strong>CC the reliable choice<br />
for in-home companion<br />
care.<br />
Living at home truly<br />
makes the difference.<br />
Staying in your home as<br />
long as possible is critical<br />
to well-being.<br />
Your home is where<br />
you’re most comfortable<br />
and safe. The surroundings<br />
are familiar and reassuring.<br />
Moving can be<br />
disconcerting, creating a<br />
feeling of uncertainty and<br />
upheaval. You feel displaced<br />
and alone at a time<br />
when you most need the<br />
good feelings of your own<br />
home.<br />
With <strong>NS</strong>CC in-home<br />
companion care, you remain<br />
as independent as<br />
you can be. Feeling independent<br />
is so important<br />
to maintaining a positive<br />
outlook and the best health<br />
possible, especially when<br />
the effects of aging and<br />
illness are taking place.<br />
At home, you sleep in<br />
your own bed, your things<br />
are around you and you<br />
feel safe. With our help,<br />
there’s still no place like<br />
home!<br />
As we age or recover<br />
from an illness, injury or<br />
surgery, we have a need<br />
for care or assistance with<br />
daily living activities.<br />
Without a doubt, home<br />
is the most comfortable<br />
and convenient place to<br />
receive that care.<br />
North Shore Compassionate<br />
Care provides<br />
home care and companion/<br />
homemaker services to seniors<br />
and others throughout<br />
Chicagoland. Our<br />
broad choice of service<br />
options ranges from hourly<br />
care up through live-in services<br />
24 hours a day.<br />
Caregivers and support<br />
staff that you can depend<br />
on. Our experienced, compassionate<br />
and dependable<br />
caregivers are carefully<br />
selected to provide clients<br />
with loving care and assistance<br />
to make life easier<br />
and assure peace of mind.<br />
All caregivers are interviewed,<br />
referencechecked,<br />
backgroundscreened,<br />
bonded and<br />
insured prior to placement.<br />
Our caregivers are thoroughly<br />
trained and undergo<br />
additional and refresher<br />
training on a regular basis.<br />
Often, family members<br />
take over the responsibility<br />
of caring for a parent or<br />
loved one. They can soon<br />
discover that this task is<br />
extremely difficult and not<br />
easily manageable when<br />
combined with the responsibilities<br />
of their own family<br />
needs or while working<br />
full-time.<br />
Sometimes, family caregivers<br />
simply need a break<br />
or a day to run errands or<br />
address other needs.<br />
At North Shore Compassionate<br />
Care, we are here<br />
to help. We create a schedule<br />
of quality in-home care<br />
that fits the needs of your<br />
family. In-home care is<br />
truly a wonderful option<br />
for allowing loved ones to<br />
remain in the comfort and<br />
safety of their own home.<br />
Mike, Steve and John<br />
help turn that option into<br />
reality. They ensure a level<br />
of care and attentiveness<br />
that few can offer. North<br />
Shore Compassionate Care<br />
is proud to be a part of the<br />
North Shore community<br />
and attends to community<br />
needs like no other agency.<br />

Resources for Intelligent Aging initiative serves seniors and their families<br />
Readers might be surprised<br />
to learn that the<br />
combined population of<br />
people over the age of 50 in<br />
Wilmette and Kenilworth<br />
alone is 80 percent.<br />
Knowing that such a<br />
large percentage of North<br />
Shore residents are over<br />
the age of 50, the Wilmette/Kenilworth<br />
Chamber<br />
of Commerce found<br />
an opportunity to provide<br />
a service to the community<br />
by assembling and promoting<br />
reputable businesses<br />
serving that population.<br />
This signified the beginning<br />
of the Chamber’s<br />
Resources for<br />
Intelligent Aging initiative.<br />
“RIA includes business<br />
owners who are developing<br />
useful, interactive<br />
ways to serve seniors<br />
and their families in our<br />
community,” Chamber<br />
Executive Director Julie<br />
Yusim said. “We felt it<br />
would be helpful to group<br />
these services together<br />
and make them available<br />
to the public through the<br />
Chamber’s website (www.<br />
wilmettekenilworth.com),<br />
our RIA website (https://<br />
intelligent-aging.net) and<br />
the Chamber’s community<br />
guide,” said Ann Ayres,<br />
co-chair of the Resources<br />
for Intelligent Aging<br />
group.<br />
RIA happily gives complimentary<br />
presentations<br />
on a variety of topics to<br />
community groups, senior<br />
centers, libraries, houses<br />
of worship, physicians and<br />
more.<br />
“Our group meets<br />
monthly to share information,<br />
discuss industry<br />
trends, learn more about<br />
each other’s services and<br />
consider ways we can better<br />
serve residents on the<br />
North Shore,” said group<br />
member Nancy Hopkins<br />
from Home Care Assistance.<br />
“The members of our<br />
RIA group compliment<br />
each other’s services.<br />
Sometimes there is overlap,<br />
but we try to be collaborative<br />
rather than competitive.<br />
There are plenty<br />
of people in this area who<br />
need our help,” said attorney<br />
and RIA member<br />
Charles Hutchinson.<br />
RIA’s goal is to provide<br />
trusted and accessible resources<br />
in all areas to promote<br />
a relaxed and secure<br />
lifestyle. The members of<br />
this group include business<br />
owners who are developing<br />
useful and interactive<br />
ways to serve seniors and<br />
their families in our community.<br />
“As professionals serving<br />
this demographic, we<br />
know that when someone<br />
needs one service,<br />
they probably need many<br />
other services as well,”<br />
explained realtor Merry<br />
Juell of @properties. “If I<br />
am helping a senior couple<br />
(or their adult children)<br />
sell their home, I can refer<br />
a care-management professional,<br />
several home<br />
care agencies, an estate<br />
attorney, an estate services<br />
company to help<br />
with downsizing, a personal<br />
trainer to preserve<br />
my clients’ health, and a<br />
memory care facility if<br />
necessary.”<br />
