2601 Chestnut Ave, Glenview, IL 60026, United States
My sister Sandra moved into Chestnut Square at The Glen in August of 2023. We had done quite a bit of research and looked at three or four other communities in the region that were nice, but we ultimately chose Chestnut for a variety of reasons. First and foremost were the staff and residents. They were all some of the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. Not only were they warm and friendly but extremely helpful and very competent, as well as accommodating. The food was excellent, and the entire building was very clean, well-maintained, and quite attractive. There was plenty of programming and amenities both at Chestnut Square, as well as a short walk away in The Glen Town Center. Just across the street is a beautiful natural area with paved paths, a lake, shops, and plenty of places to explore. During her time at Chestnut Square, Sandra made many close friends and even developed a wonderful, close, and fulfilling romantic relationship with another resident who lived down the hall. The most important thing, however, was the dedication the staff had toward the happiness and fulfillment of all the residents. It really showed how happy everyone was in the community. Pretty amazing! When Sandra's health declined and she needed more assistance, Chestnut Square was able to provide additional on-site support through its phenomenal sister affiliate, Partners in Healthcare. The caregivers from Partners treated her and her loved ones like they were their own family. This was all available in Sandra's original apartment with a very thoughtful aging-in-place model, so she wouldn’t need to transfer to another floor or facility. The care was exceptional, providing her with warmth, dignity, and respect. It comes as no surprise that Chestnut Square (a non-profit organization) is driven by their dedication to residents as well as staff—who all seem to really enjoy working there. Our entire experience with Chestnut Square was wonderful and provided the whole family with tremendous peace of mind!

My mother happily lives at Chestnut Square. She has a beautiful apartment, complete with her own kitchen, washer, dryer and large closets. She was allowed to choose the paint colors, appliance colors and carpet before she moved in. They also fulfilled her request for a change to the organization of her bedroom closet. Her one bedroom apartment is just the right size for her. She also appreciates the large bathroom she has with a walk-in shower. Her apartment view overlooks a beautiful outdoor area with grass, trees and a gazebo. We are happy because her Chestnut home is a much safer environment then her home was. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. She participates in many of the variety of activities provided. She has made many new friends and she is just plain happy! Bravo Chestnut Square!!
Going Above and Beyond for 100th Birthday!!! The staff of Chestnut Square - Vera, Megan, Michael and Maria, always treat the residents like family. My mother-in-law has lived at Chestnut Square 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 MIL 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!
I moved in to Chestnut 5 years ago and didn’t know anyone in the beginning! Everyone was so kind and friendly, I felt at home quickly. I love it here and wish everyone one had the chance to live with us here! There is no stress … wonderful meals are available, my apartment is cleaned weekly, fun programs and stimulating events are offered weekly and I have found a lifestyle filled with friends!
My mother moved into Chestnut Square 5 1/2 years ago. At first she was hesitant to make such a big life change from her home in Michigan. The staff of professionals at Chestnut Square assured that mom’s transition was seamless. As mom says, it didn’t take long before she called it ‘home’. She loves the friendly atmosphere, feeling part of a community, and having her family close by. She said that she felt particularly safe during Covid because of the secure protocols set up. According to mom, “I can’t imagine living anywhere else”. 👍
