Vi At The Glen

The Vi at the Glen in Glenview, Illinois is a wonderful place to live! I looked at several senior living communities around Chicago when I was considering this move and this one really stood out for its beauty, integrated setting in the community, thoughtful exterior and interior design, and all the amenities it offers. I knew I only wanted to move once more in my life and have everything I might need be available there for the future. Ended up moving here to the Vi in August 2025 and it is even better than expected. I love the strong sense of community it provides with other residents, who have been incredibly welcoming and friendly. And the Vi's Staff are amazing! By Day 2 they all somehow knew my name and were proactively ready to help in any way they could. The facilities and grounds here are beautiful and very well-maintained. There is a wide variety of beautiful and spacious 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and villas to choose from with some that also include a roomy den. And every apartment or villa offers either an outdoor patio or balcony. With all the programs, interest groups, and exercise offerings, there are always things to get involved in. And I appreciate their 24 hour onsite valet parking and concierge services, expert computer/IT help, onsite Wellness Center, pool, exercise facilities, salon and spa. They also have an outstanding, highly rated Care Center that provides higher levels of care and compassion for those needing Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Skilled Nursing care if and when anyone needs it. And let me also call out the outstanding food served in their dining rooms (including a choice of 4 different venues). They do a great job with their culinary programs. Living here at the Vi has taken away all the stressors in my old life and provided more access to those things that bring me joy! No more worries or expenses of maintaining a house and yard and wishing for easier ways to meet people and engage in activities. It's all right here with a wide variety of choices every day. And we can still maintain all our outside friendships and favorite activities too. If you are considering such a move, you should visit the Vi. You will be amazed!

As a relatively new resident, I am amazed at how quickly the staff and residents made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Introductions, orientations, special gatherings all add to the "at home" ambience. The amenities are top-notch, the residents and the activities are varied, interesting and fun, the food delicious, and the health care plan excellent. It's a lovely place to live!

My parents made the move from their home of 20+ years in Laguna Beach, CA to the Vi this last Spring. It was a very difficult decision and overwhelming both emotionally and physically, especially given that it was a cross-country move. However, the Vi provided a great deal of support and made my parents feel welcome from the get-go. Everyone who assisted with the move was incredibly kind, compassionate and generous with their time. It was obvious that their primary goal was to make my parents feel welcome and settled in their new home as soon as possible. The Vi offers a vibrant community of people who want to connect and create shared experiences. The facilities, services and amenities are first class but it is the social outreach from both staff and residents that makes it second to none. My sister and I are so very comforted in knowing that my parents are in such good hands. I would highly recommend the Vi to anyone interested in becoming a part of a senior community that prioritizes care and compassion, social interaction, intellectual stimulation, physical exercise and a real sense of home and community.

My parents moved into the Vi in 2004. My father passed away in 2014, and my mother has had a wonderful experience in Independent Living (IL) for two decades! She turns 97 in Feb, and due to recent health issues, has moved into Assisted Living (AL) after spending weeks in Skilled Nursing. The transition to AL was seamless, thanks to the compassionate effort and guidance of Sarah Watson, Director of Resident Services. Other staff at the Vi were very accommodating in preparing her new apartment in AL (including painting, carpeting, etc.) and the nurses and staff have been very supportive of our mother's needs. We are very grateful for the outstanding care and support that both parents have received at the Vi. I would highly recommend this community!
