About Emerald Place

Welcome to Emerald Place in Glenview, Illinois — a community specializing in memory care where caregivers are ready to serve you or your loved one with compassionate, dignified services. The community is located in the northern suburbs of Chicago, giving visiting friends and family easy access to the best in entertainment, culture, and deep-dish pizza the Land of Lincoln has to offer. Community Amenities and Services Each resident has different needs in addition to their memory care, and specialized care services can meet needs such as diabetic care, ambulatory care, and medication management among other personalized services. Community specialists are also available to provide additional care as needed. Staff is specially trained in memory care, so you can rest easy knowing that you or your loved one is getting the most appropriate and patient attention. Nutrition can be difficult for seniors experiencing memory loss, which is why staff works hard to provide residents with personalized menus that fit their dietary needs. In between meals, residents can take advantage of beautiful and spacious common areas. Residents can enjoy a card game on the shaded patio, curl up with a cup of piping hot coffee in the living room, take a walk through landscaped and secured grounds, and more. The fun is just getting started when one settles into Emerald Place. Scheduled group activities are also available daily for residents looking to stay active, engaged, and connected. Living Arrangements Residents at Emerald Place may choose from studio, one-bedroom, or semi-private apartments. Each spacious and sunlit floor plan comes with amenities like hardwood floors, wheelchair-accessible showers, WiFi, cable or satellite TV, and more. The community is also pet-friendly!

Lucky to be at Emerald Place

My friend has been at Emerald Place since 2018 and I can honestly say she was lucky to be a resident. The people are kind, caring, attentive and patient. Communication is excellent. There are activities galore. Special holiday parties. It's just a very special facility!

Be Present!

Remind the employees to TELL the patient's what they will do Before doing it. Remind the employees to slow down especially when changing patient's clothes. Tell employees to wear name tags. Emerald Place is better than most and always find out which employee is assigned to the patient. Make yourself known to the employees and management!! Don't be afraid to ask.

Critical

Emerald Place

Don't be fooled by the fancy building. Lower level staff were on phones instead of caring for patients. Like a ghost town. I observed one staff member insisting that one resident apologize to another, as if they were trying to teach her a lesson. On another occasion, I asked about a posted activity for residents and the staff looked at me blankly. Food was terrible. Unable and/or unwilling to provide care for more aggressive residents despite advertising that they are. Uncommunicative and rude to family members whe

Our Families Experience

Their activities director [name removed] was outstanding, as well as their custodial and support staff team. Truly, but the cost at the time seemed high
