The Hallmark Senior Living in Chicago

Lucky me! The Hallmark is living up to its new name beginning with a great new look! And they are keeping everything else in place that is already as good as it gets. I have lived here on Lake Shore Drive for almost 8 years now. A handsome building, at a desirable location with a fabulous view of Lake Michigan and its harbors! Management here has always been highly qualified, kind, and caring. Our new Grace Management’s focus is for all of our residents to enjoy the true essence of gracious living. Our lives have a

The Hallmark was very attractive and the host answered many questions. I like that it has independent and assisted living. The views are to die for. My main concern is the high cost of even independent living. The Hallmark may be on the high end of costs.

The Hallmark Review

They are undergoing a transition to new ownership, so upgrades and refreshes are in the works. Should only get better. Location, location, location.

Happy to Call The Hallmark Home

I have been a resident at The Hallmark for nearly a year and was asked to share my overall impression of the community and staff. The common areas are in good shape—clean and well maintained—though somewhat worn. With the arrival of the new management company, many of us are looking forward to future upgrades and redesigns of these spaces. There are plenty of activities available for those who are interested, ranging from daily movies to book clubs. It’s easy to stay busy and engaged, and participation also provi
