Ayres Estate Services helps clients ‘realize<br />

OsteoStrong provides a new way to build bone density<br />

A revolutionary wellness<br />

system that works to<br />

build stronger bone density<br />

and ignite the entire<br />

musculoskeletal chain<br />

naturally has arrived in<br />

Chicago.<br />

OsteoStrong of Greater<br />

Chicago, with locations<br />

in Wilmette and Schaumburg,<br />

is part of Osteo-<br />

Strong, a rapidly growing<br />

national franchise that<br />

helps people of all ages<br />

and fitness levels enhance<br />

their bone health, balance,<br />

strength and posture. Created<br />

based on Dr. John<br />

Jaquish’s osteogenic loading<br />

research and other<br />

studies, the OsteoStrong<br />

system triggers the growth<br />

of new bone and muscle<br />

density in sessions that<br />

only take a few minutes.<br />

Since the first location<br />

opening in 2012, Osteo-<br />

value’ of antiques and collectibles<br />

When it’s time to downsize<br />

or declutter, Ayres<br />

Estate Services (AES) is<br />

your resource for realizing<br />

value from antiques<br />

and collectibles as well<br />

as useful everyday items.<br />

We’re your full-service<br />

source for evaluating your<br />

items, connecting to the<br />

right buyers and selling for<br />

more money.<br />

Here’s what we did<br />

when Joan called us. She<br />

explained that her parents<br />

had moved to senior living.<br />

Their gorgeous 4-square<br />

suburban house was filled<br />

with thirty years of accumulation.<br />

AES got busy<br />

contacting their vetted resources:<br />

appraisers, dealers,<br />

collectors, house sale<br />

specialists, and auction<br />

houses to unload her parents’<br />

special things in the<br />

best way to realize some<br />

cash. The sale of their<br />

household included a wide<br />

variety of furniture, some<br />

antiques, books, artwork,<br />

silver, and collections. As<br />

a result, we brought in several<br />

different specialists.<br />

When Charlie and Lorraine<br />

sent their last kid to<br />

college they decided to<br />

say goodbye to their large<br />

Evanston house—the attic,<br />

the basement, the yard and<br />

the garage. The AES team<br />

created a floor plan for<br />

their new condo to figure<br />

out which furniture to take<br />

Strong has grown into more<br />

than 100 locations on four<br />

continents and benefited<br />

more than 30,000 people.<br />

Part of its fast success can<br />

be attributed to the fact that<br />

its system of four machines<br />

(for lower body, upper<br />

body, core and spine) emulates<br />

high impact forces<br />

without the risk of injury. A<br />

session coach monitors the<br />

entire process, and the integrated<br />

computer software<br />

provides instant biofeedback,<br />

as well as tracks long<br />

term progress over months<br />

and years.<br />

About 54 million Americans,<br />

half of all adults age<br />

50 and older, are at risk of<br />

breaking a bone and should<br />

be concerned about bone<br />

health, according to the National<br />

Osteoporosis Foundation,<br />

and more than 10<br />

million Americans already<br />

suffer from osteoporosis.<br />

Many people concerned<br />

about their bone health<br />

have found an effective<br />

treatment in OsteoStrong.<br />

“I’ve been going to<br />

OsteoStrong for three<br />

months, and I can feel my<br />

bones getting stronger,”<br />

Peggy Jones said. “I highly<br />

recommend this place<br />

with them to the city. The<br />

next step was to find the<br />

right house sale specialist,<br />

who organized a very<br />

successful three-day sale.<br />

After the sale, there were<br />

for people who want to<br />

be proactive or who have<br />

a need to strengthen their<br />

bones.”<br />

Studies show that a year<br />

of treatment with Osteo-<br />

Strong improves bone<br />

density between the hip<br />

and spine by 7.34 percent,<br />

and in as little as six<br />

months, has demonstrated<br />

enough useful items left<br />

to donate to their favorite<br />

charity. To end the process,<br />

the garage and basement<br />

were completely cleaned<br />

out by a removal service.<br />

Paul was a special client<br />

— we never met him.<br />

His mother had died a few<br />

months earlier, and he was<br />

in charge of dispersing her<br />

antique furniture and accessories<br />

for his family—<br />

long distance. He emailed<br />

us good photos of fifteen<br />

item, and we filled him in<br />

on the options — auction,<br />

dealer sales, or consignment.<br />

Paul decided on<br />

consignment. Everything<br />

sold quickly, and Paul<br />

emailed us a thank you<br />

an average overall bone<br />

density gain of 14 percent.<br />

In a study of 500 clients,<br />

strength improved by an<br />

average of 73 percent after<br />

the first year, and 290<br />

percent by the end of four<br />

years.<br />

OsteoStrong also has<br />

positive benefits on<br />

strength, stability, and<br />

joint pain.<br />

“After just a few sessions,<br />

I noticed lifting a<br />

heavy shingle suddenly became<br />

easy to accomplish,”<br />

Gus Gates said. “But now,<br />

after little more than four<br />

months, my strength in the<br />

four key areas is up over<br />

40 percent, and my joint<br />

pain is gone. This renewed<br />

stability is absolutely wonderful.”<br />

Gus is currently exhibiting<br />

strength gains of over<br />

168 percent.<br />

note. It turns out he had<br />

contacted the same consignment<br />

store before calling<br />

us, and they had rejected<br />

the items. Seeing the<br />

photos coming from Ayres<br />

Estate Services, knowing<br />

we understand value, the<br />

consigner gave the items a<br />

chance. It makes sense to<br />

go through the right channels.<br />

North Shore<br />

Estate Sales makes<br />

downsizing easy<br />

Estate Sales are not always associated<br />

with downsizing, but contrary to popular<br />

belief many estate sales are held when<br />

homeowners decide to downsize. Hiring<br />

a full service estate liquidator can take the<br />

stress and burden of moving and make it<br />

into a simple process.<br />

Instead of worrying about how you are<br />

going to empty your home and what to do<br />

with all the items that will not fit in your<br />

new home. You simply take the items that<br />

you want and leave the rest for the estate<br />

liquidator to sell or dispose of.<br />

Companies such as North Shore Estate<br />

Sales in Glenview, have the process down<br />

to a science. Once you clear the items that<br />

you want to keep out of your home, their<br />

team of professional organizers begin to<br />

set the house up like a department store<br />

for the weekend, pulling all the leftover<br />

items out of the cabinets and displaying<br />

them throughout the home.<br />

They say don’t throw anything away before<br />

they come out because you would be<br />

surprised at what they can sell. After setting<br />

up the house they run the sale for two<br />

to three days, depending on the contents of<br />

the home.<br />

On average, a sale can bring in 800 to<br />

1200 customers over the course of the<br />

weekend. After the sale the remaining<br />

contents of the home are removed and donated<br />

to charity. Leaving the owners with<br />

a completely empty house ready for a<br />

closing, a check for the proceeds and a tax<br />

deduction slip. All of this is done without<br />

you having to lift a finger.<br />

Take the stress out of your next move<br />

and hire a professional liquidator to take<br />

care of all the details while you relax at<br />

your new home and contact North Shore<br />

assistants. Your care<br />

is proactively managed to<br />

provide you with the best<br />

Although the symptoms<br />

of Parkinson’s disease<br />

can be complex and ever<br />

changing, we focus on you<br />

and your individual goals<br />

and objectives. Through<br />

our Comprehensive Parkinson’s<br />

you or your loved one on a<br />

personal level. Ultimately<br />

our goal is to promote happiness<br />

for you and comfort<br />

for your family.<br />

The abruptness of<br />

stroke can be traumatizing<br />

not only physically but<br />

emotionally as well. The<br />

change in your daily routine<br />

and the time it takes to<br />

recover can be frustrating<br />

for you and your family.<br />

Broad Street works to ease<br />

this process by developing<br />

a comprehensive plan<br />

which includes simplifying<br />

your daily function and<br />

helping you stay engaged<br />

and progressing towards<br />

physical and mental recovery.<br />

With Nurse Oversight,<br />

we assist you in following<br />

your physician’s plan of<br />

care, which may include<br />

medication management,<br />

blood work or the maintenance<br />

of a proper diet. Our<br />

goal is to minimize your<br />

frustration and accelerate<br />

your path towards recovery.<br />

At Broad Street, we understand<br />

that managing<br />

health conditions can be<br />

stressful. We also understand<br />

that you don’t want<br />

to feel like you are in the<br />

hospital when you are at<br />

your healthcare needs, and<br />

the way you want to live<br />

Sheridan at Green Oaks<br />

reimagines memory care<br />

Everything about The Sheridan<br />

at Green Oaks defies preconceived<br />

notions of senior living.<br />

From the moment you enter the<br />

community you are greeted by<br />

an impressive, sophisticated atmosphere,<br />

engaged and friendly<br />

staff, and the welcome sound of<br />

activity and laughter resonating<br />

just around the corner. It’s not<br />

the typical image conjured by<br />

the mention of a senior living<br />

community, and that’s perfectly<br />

fine with the proud staff and residents<br />

that call this community<br />

home.<br />

“We like that visitors are<br />

pleasantly surprised by our vibrant<br />

atmosphere, and enjoy<br />

showing it is just the beginning<br />

of how we redefine memory<br />

care,” said Barbara Caspersen,<br />

Memory Care Director, referring<br />

to the innovative lifestyles,<br />

diverse social opportunities, and<br />

two specialized memory care<br />

programs available to residents<br />

of the community.<br />

Since opening its doors, The<br />

Sheridan at Green Oaks has offered<br />

embrace Memory Care, a<br />

program created to help residents<br />

living with advanced dementia<br />

find more joy and connection<br />

each day. Using research-based<br />

approaches, caregivers help<br />

residents discover meaning in<br />

the little moments and build<br />

upon each one to create a more<br />

fulfilling lifestyle. The awardwinning<br />

program has received<br />

acclaim for its inspiring gardento-table<br />

programs, book clubs,<br />

and brain health classes, all tailored<br />

to each resident’s likes,<br />

needs, and abilities. However,<br />

it’s often the structured friend<br />

and family support that shines<br />

for visitors and staff alike. “We<br />

provide tools and guidance that<br />

can gift special moments of connection<br />

to families who have<br />

been struggling,” Caspersen<br />

said. “The love is always there,<br />

we just create new ways of expressing<br />

it.”<br />

Caspersen is uniquely qualified<br />

to provide that guidance to<br />

families. She holds a Master’s<br />

in Gerontology and has built<br />

her career helping residents and<br />

their families navigate traumatic<br />

brain injuries and dementia.<br />

This knowledge and expertise<br />

enables residents and their families<br />

find the right answers to<br />

life-altering questions blurred<br />

by the disruptive and uneven<br />

progression of dementia.<br />

Knowing how dementia progresses<br />

and the decisions faced<br />

by families at every stage of the<br />

disease helped create the second<br />

memory care program available<br />

at The Sheridan at Green Oaks.<br />

“We implemented enrich<br />

Memory Care as a steppingstone<br />

from assisted living to<br />

memory care,” Caspersen said,<br />

“creating another option for our<br />

Lake Bluff community.”<br />

The enrich Memory Care program<br />

is for people living with<br />

early-stage dementia who need<br />

gentle reminders and a little extra<br />

attention each day, and thrive<br />

when engaged in stimulating activities<br />

and social situations.<br />

That’s why the enrich programming<br />

schedule reads more<br />

like a local events calendar with<br />

trips to the beach, driving range,<br />

botanical gardens, fall apple<br />

picking and much more.<br />

“We are pleased to provide<br />

fun and engaging outings such<br />

as taking in a play at the Marriot<br />

Playhouse, enjoying an afternoon<br />

movie matinee, or having<br />

a long lunch at The Silo”<br />

Caspersen said. “We love that<br />

their dementia doesn’t define<br />

them, or their days. Life for our<br />

residents is still bright and full<br />

of possibilities at The Sheridan<br />

at Green Oaks.”<br />

Henrietta Gale is no stranger<br />

to the hassles of moving. Having<br />

moved over 20 times in her life,<br />

most recently from Bozeman,<br />

Mont. to Presbyterian Homes’<br />

Lake Forest Place community after<br />

her husband passed away, she<br />

was all too familiar with all the<br />

hassles of packing up your life<br />

and unpacking it all on your own.<br />

So, when she moved into a new<br />

apartment at Lake Forest Place,<br />

she decided to take advantage of<br />

Presbyterian Homes Don’t Lift A<br />

Box moving program.<br />

Don’t Lift A Box means just<br />

what it says, Gale didn’t have to<br />

pack a box or lift a finger. Presbyterian<br />

Homes put her in contact<br />

with a team of professional moving<br />

experts who handled every<br />

aspect of her move, from planning,<br />

packing up and moving out,<br />

to moving in and unpacking.<br />

They even offer specific expertise<br />

to those seniors who may<br />

need some help with downsizing.<br />

Something Gale could appreciate<br />

having had to downsize on her<br />

own from a four-bedroom house<br />

in Bozeman to her large one-bedroom<br />

apartment at Lake Forest<br />

Place.<br />

On the day of the move, Gale<br />

walked into her new one-bedroom<br />

apartment to find all her belongings<br />

perfectly in their place.<br />

“All in all, it was a great experience,”<br />

Gale said. “I didn’t have to<br />

do anything. It was nice to have it<br />

all set up with everything ready to<br />

go. It was really fantastic.”<br />

Better still, the Don’t Lift A<br />

Box program left Gale with even<br />

more time to spend doing the<br />

things she loves, exploring her<br />

new community and getting to<br />

know her fellow residents.<br />

“I love all the activities that are<br />

available at Lake Forest Place,<br />

the card games and the field trips<br />

especially,” Gale said. “I was<br />

looking for a lot when I went<br />

searching for a Continuing Care<br />

Retirement Community and Lake<br />

Forest Place came out at the top<br />

of my list. And now that I’m here,<br />

it’s even better than I expected.”<br />

For those who might be considering<br />

a move to a retirement community<br />

like Lake Forest Place,<br />

Presbyterian Homes also offers<br />

a three-month trial program that<br />

allows you to move into a furnished<br />

apartment and experience<br />

the community life for yourself.<br />

“I love everything about Lake<br />

Forest Place,” Gale said, “the<br />

people, the layout, and particularly<br />

the indoor parking and not having<br />

to clear the snow off my car.<br />

After all those years in Montana,<br />

I don’t miss that one bit.”<br />

All Nature’s Way<br />

offers a new age of<br />

old wisdom<br />

The superior post-hospital rehab<br />

youneed. The luxuryyou deserve.<br />

After your surgeryormedical event, recoverquickly and safely at<br />

Whitehall of Deerfield, the NorthShore’spremier rehabilitation<br />

center.Here, you’ll experience unsurpassed one-on-one physical,<br />

occupational, speech or respiratorytherapy—in resort-like luxury.<br />

My name is Adi Barad. I<br />

am a certified Acupuncturist<br />

and Holistic Medicine<br />

Practitioner.<br />

For over 20 years I have<br />

been in the holistic medical<br />

field, ten years in Tel-<br />

Aviv, Israel as the head<br />

of the Integrative Unit in<br />

Ichilov Hospital and as an<br />

educator in Medicin College,<br />

one of the leading alternative<br />

colleges in Israel<br />

at that time.<br />

Ten years ago, I opened<br />

my own alternative medicine<br />

clinic, All Nature’s<br />

Way Inc. We are located<br />

here in Winnetka and we<br />

are servicing the surrounding<br />

communities.<br />

It’s amazing to see the<br />

transformation of alternative<br />

medicine in the last<br />

two decades.<br />

We believe that food and<br />

nature is our main source<br />

of health and well-being.<br />

The healing property<br />

of many herbs and botanicals,<br />

including Hemp,<br />

have been in use for over<br />

3,000 years, and are now<br />

available for all to use.<br />

But today more than<br />

ever, it’s important to know<br />

who to trust that with the<br />

new hemp and medicinal<br />

weed revolution, anybody<br />

can promote and sell CBD<br />

and hemp products. There<br />

is so much information<br />

out there and it’s almost<br />

impossible to know what<br />

you are getting, with the<br />

lack of regulation, product<br />

impurity and mislabeling,<br />

and poor quality. If we<br />

want to stay active and<br />

healthy as we age, we need<br />

to pay careful attention to<br />

what we put in our bodies.<br />

We need to go to the professionals<br />

to get the most<br />

up-to-date researched information<br />

and the safest<br />

products available.<br />

At All Nature’s Way, we<br />

consider ourselves a leading<br />

authority in alternative<br />

medicine and hemp products.<br />

Many of our clients<br />

that have been using our<br />

products claim that they<br />

feel less stress, improved<br />

brain power, less pain and<br />

inflammation, improved<br />

sleep, and as their ECS<br />

(endocannabinoid system)<br />

is more balanced, they feel<br />

years younger.<br />

Once again, our mission<br />

is to harness nature’s vast<br />

and magnificent powers;<br />

to be healthy, happy, calm<br />

and relaxed — just so that<br />

we can enjoy life as it is.<br />

Chestnut Square at<br />

the Glen becomes a<br />

new home for seniors<br />

There are countless reasons why seniors<br />

decide to make Chestnut Square<br />

their new home. Many are drawn to our<br />

central location in the heart of The Glen<br />

— only steps away from shops, fine dining,<br />

theaters and parks. Others fall in love<br />

with the spacious apartments and all-inclusive<br />

services and amenities. And for a<br />

majority of residents, the cherry on top is<br />

Chestnut’s close proximity to their family.<br />

“I had been living in Florida for 16<br />

years,” Lorrie Anderson said. “But when<br />

I decided to look at retirement communities,<br />

I knew that I wanted to be near my<br />

family in the Chicago area.”<br />

This past August, Lorrie settled into a<br />

new one-bedroom apartment at Chestnut<br />

Square. Being so close to her children and<br />

grandchildren has been a blessing, but<br />

what Anderson didn’t anticipate was that<br />

she’d also be gaining a second family at<br />

Chestnut Square.<br />

“I’ve made so many new lasting friendships<br />

here,” Anderson said. “I love everything<br />

about this place…I’ve never had so<br />

much fun.”<br />

Chris Bezanes, a resident since 2013,<br />

has had a similar experience.<br />

“Chestnut Square is one big family to<br />

me…when my daughters visit, they tease<br />

me because so many people know who I<br />

am,” Bezanes said.<br />

Located at 2601 Chestnut Ave in Glenview,<br />

Ill., Chestnut Square features spacious<br />

one and two-bedroom floor plans,<br />

all-inclusive services and amenities, a<br />

signature dining program, diverse cultural<br />

and recreational events, scheduled transportation,<br />

weekly housekeeping and 24/7<br />

concierge services. Homecare and home<br />

health services are also available on-site<br />

if ever needed.<br />

We are also excited to announce, for a<br />

limited time, attractive incentives on our<br />

100 percent refundable entrance fees. One<br />

and two-bedroom apartments are currently<br />

available, so there’s never been a better<br />

time to lock in your rate and enjoy the vibrant<br />

lifestyle at Chestnut Square! Schedule<br />

your tour today at (847) 998-1118 or<br />

North Shore Compassionate Care is an<br />

independent home care agency located<br />

right here in Highland Park. Their owners,<br />

Mike Glickman and Steve Wilneff are<br />

long time area residents and are also the<br />

primary case managers. John Vuckovich<br />

of Deerfield has now joined the management<br />

team as Managing Director. Their<br />

combined community knowledge and<br />

involvement, business acumen, hands on<br />

approach to every case and the significantly<br />

higher salaries paid to their caregivers<br />

makes <strong>NS</strong>CC the reliable choice<br />

for in home companion care.<br />

Staying in your home as long as possible<br />

is critical to well-being. Your home<br />

is where you’re most comfortable and<br />

safe. The surroundings are familiar and<br />

reassuring. Moving can be disconcerting,<br />

creating a feeling of uncertainty and upheaval.<br />

You feel displaced and alone at a<br />

time when you most need the good feelings<br />

of your own home.<br />

With <strong>NS</strong>CC in-home companion care,<br />

you remain as independent as you can<br />

be. Feeling independent is so important<br />

to maintaining a positive outlook and<br />

the best health possible, especially when<br />

the effects of aging and illness are taking<br />

place.<br />

At home, you sleep in your own bed,<br />

your things are around you and you feel<br />

safe. With our help, there’s still no place<br />

like home.<br />

As we age or are recovering from an<br />

illness, injury or surgery we have a need<br />

for care or assistance with daily living<br />

activities. Without a doubt, home is the<br />

most comfortable and convenient place to<br />

receive that care.<br />

North Shore Compassionate Care<br />

provides home care and companion/<br />

homemaker services to seniors and others<br />

throughout Chicagoland. Our broad<br />

choice of service options ranges from<br />

hourly care up through live in services 24<br />

hours a day.<br />

Our experienced, compassionate and<br />

dependable caregivers are carefully selected<br />

to provide clients with loving care<br />

and assistance to make life easier and<br />

assure peace of mind. All caregivers are<br />

interviewed, reference-checked, background-screened,<br />

bonded and insured prior<br />

to placement. Our caregivers are thoroughly<br />

trained and undergo additional<br />

and refresher training on a regular basis.<br />

Often, family members take over the<br />

responsibility of caring for a parent or<br />

loved one. They can soon discover that<br />

this task is extremely difficult and not easily<br />

manageable when combined with the<br />

responsibilities of their own family needs<br />

or while working full-time. Sometimes,<br />

family caregivers simply need a break<br />

or a day to run errands or address other<br />

needs.<br />

At North Shore Compassionate Care,<br />

we are here to help. We create a schedule<br />

of quality in-home care that fits the<br />

needs of your family. In home care is truly<br />

a wonderful option for allowing loved<br />

ones to remain in the comfort and safety<br />

of their own home. Mike, Steve and John<br />

help turn that option into reality. They ensure<br />

a level of care and attentiveness that<br />

few can offer. North Shore Compassionate<br />

Care is proud to be a part of the North<br />

Shore community and attends to community<br />

needs like no other agency.<br />
