Amazing Facility, Staff & Happy Residents

My sister [name removed] 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, very competent, as well as accommodating. The food was excellent, and the entire buil…

An extraordinary community

I have never felt so comfortable giving an across-the-board five star review. My mom has been here nearly six months and is extremely happy. The staff is like an extended family, the residents couldn't be friendlier, the building and amenities are top notch and the food is consistently delicious. My siblings and I all live out of state, so when we visit, it's often for an extended time and the 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout is perfect for us to be able stay with her. The kitchen is just the right size, the washer/dryer …

Great place to live

I am a recent resident at Chestnut Square in the Glen and enjoy living here. The facility has a great location across from the Glen with its shopping and restaurants, the Glenview Park Center with swimming and many activities and Glenview Senior Center. The building and grounds very attractive and are well maintained. We were attracted to its moderate size and compact design-no long hallways. Chestnut Square provides a broad range of activities; discussion groups, card games, talks, entertainment, etc. as well as a…

My New Home

The day I moved in, three residents knocked on my door, welcomed me and introduced themselves. I was immediately made to feel that I was home. What I like about Chestnut Square is that the location is within walking distance to a shopping center with restaurants, near a grocery, pharmacy and post office. Also the entrance fee is totally refunded upon vacating the premises. Everyone is so friendly that I made good friends immediately. There are so many activites like lectures, movies, card games, board games, etc. …

I'm gonna live here forever!

Before moving in, I would visit a friend of mine every weekend and could see why she moved to Chestnut Square. And now that I am here, I think this is the greatest place I could ever hope for and I’m gonna live here forever.

Best decision ever was moving to Chestnut Square, It's like living at a Resort.

The place is impeccably clean. Kept us free of COVID -19 during the height of the pandemic. The food is healthy and delicious, staff are available 24/7, they are wonderful and go above and beyond my expectations. In summary, it's like living on a luxury liner without the water.
