One of the best decisions of my life 

“High on my list was a not-for-profit organization. Very high on my list was a continuing care community. I wanted to have care in place at a place that I trust, with nice surroundings, and where I can get active and engaged.

Living at Oak Trace for the past 7 months has truly been transformative. It has far exceeded my expectations. I worried that I was moving too soon or that it would be hard to make new friends. How wrong I was!

Everyone I encounter every day (and it’s lots!) says hello and stops to chat as often as not. I have made more new friends here than in the past 20 years!

The facilities are gorgeous inside and out. The interior is like a very high-end hotel with lots of artwork, beautiful lighting, and comfortable and inviting seating. The setting is park-like with lots of green and trees, a lovely walking path, fountains in the pond, and even a bird sanctuary.

There are so many engaging activities (and I’m not talking Bingo) that we have to choose among Murder Mystery Dinners, numerous games, lectures on Mozart, Betty Crocker and the Deep Sea Treaty, belly dancing, volunteering, bus trips all over Chicago-land, and every form of exercise imaginable.

I LOVE it here. It has been one of the best decisions of my life.” 

 

Dave Humphreys

I decided, simply, why wait?

“I was visiting a friend and decided on the way out, maybe I’ll just stop by the sales department and see what the current process is. After I talked to them, looked around, and remembered how happy my mother was here, I moved in six months later. I decided, simply, why wait?

I was living in a condo, and with the taxes, condo fees, utilities, and everything, it was very close to the same cost to move in here. That’s the reason I did it right away instead of waiting until I got old.

Why is it better here at Oak Trace? Your horizons broaden when you spend more time with a large group of people as neighbors. Here at Oak Trace, you walk down the hall and you see people and you talk to them, and you have friends.

People are enjoying themselves. They’re staying active, they’re staying productive, and that allows us to live longer.

I’ve lived at Oak Trace for almost six years now and I love this place.”
