Friendship

I like Mather Place because everyone is my friend: the people who live here and the people who work here. I can be alone if I choose but I can also always find an activity or a friend to spend time with. We care for each other, we help each other, we have fun together, and we respect each other's privacy. Eating together makes the food, which is remarkably good, taste even better. Sharing activities makes them more fun. Being at Mather enriches my life.

My remote tour with Mather Place was fine. Everybody I interacted with was super accommodating and easy to work with. And I thought they showed their residence well via video call.

My Review

I lost my wife of 65 happy years and was comforted by the demons of loneliness. That's when I decided to make a move and seek a place where I could again return to a social environment. I looked at various places until I found Mather Place. I was immediately attracted by the friendliness of the community. I knew I had found my new home. After being at Mather Place for a while I now know I made the move and enjoying the social life and amenities that you find at Mather Place.

This setting I will keep in mind and hope to revisit with my family. I like that it is a non-profit and has a swimming pool for residents.

Mather Place Of Wilmette

The location, being in the North Shore area intrigued me. I now feel I've made the right decision in making this beautiful place my home. The feeling of being safe here helps my security factor. When meeting some of the residents, I asked many of them what they liked most, and almost everyone said...friendliness....In addition, other chose the swimming pool, educational seminars, creative arts, movie theater, library and of course, many enjoyable musical pianists as part of our entertainment, with lovely programs.
