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 />

for a limited time,<br />

attractive incentives on<br />

entrance fees. One and<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 />

that while kids’ IQs have<br />

increased, their creative<br />

ability has been declining<br />

in the last few decades.<br />

Creators<br />

At Codeverse, we believe<br />

kids can create amazing<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 />

strobe lights.<br />

The Codeverse Crew<br />

Membership<br />

With the “Codeverse<br />

explore and interact with<br />

gadgets within the studio,<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 />

continue their projects at<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 />

information, referrals and guidance to<br />

seniors and their families. The Elderwerks<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 />

Staying Active<br />

An on-site personal trainer, exercise<br />

equipment, group classes, including T’ai<br />

Chi, and swimming are all available to<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 />

they would probably not<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 />
