Vi at The Glen

A resident who wants to keep ties to Chicago's North Shore after a move might consider Vi at The Glen, on Indigo Lane in Glenview. The community carries the Vi name, an LCS senior living brand, and combines independent living, assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing on one campus inside a master-planned neighborhood. The Glen Town Center sits within walking distance for shops and restaurants.

Independent living residents choose from 22 floor plans and take part in spa services and cultural outings throughout Chicago's northern suburbs and downtown. Assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as bathing and medication management, memory support serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, and skilled nursing covers ongoing medical care or rehabilitation after an illness, injury or surgery, all without leaving the same campus.

Scheduled transportation covers weekday errands, medical appointments and religious observances, including trips to NorthShore University HealthSystem providers and Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. Residents also attend concerts at the Lyric Opera, the Chicago Symphony and Ravinia, or volunteer at the Glenview Library. A family comparing this community can review senior living in Glenview for other North Shore options.

As a Type A community, Vi at The Glen builds the cost of future care into its contract. Ask how fees change if a resident later needs memory support or skilled nursing before choosing a floor plan and signing a contract.
