Emerald Place is a nurturing, purpose-built memory care community in Glenview. It was planned and designed to provide an abundance of space in an ideal setting for re-invigorating the life experience of individuals living with dementia. We work every day to ensure that our residents’ needs, desires, and preferences are always at the center of everything we do.

At Emerald Place, we understand that dementia can affect every aspect of a person's life, including their cognitive abilities, emotions, and relationships. That's why our care approach is centered around each individual resident.

Our memory care services are structured to adapt to the evolving needs of our residents. We take the time to understand their life story, interests, and identities and design our care plans accordingly. Whether through personalized activities, familiar surroundings, or meaningful interactions with staff and other residents, we strive to create an environment that feels like home.

What is Pathways of Purpose? Dementia Care in Glenview

At Emerald Place, we believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their cognitive abilities. Our community offers a secure, calming environment, and our dedicated staff members provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging to each resident.

Our Pathways of Purpose program ensures that residents are not just living with dementia but living life to the fullest. Emerald Place understands that our residents seek a sense of purpose and want opportunities to be themselves, spend time with others, have fun, make a difference, find balance, and grow. We do this by understanding who our residents were, who they are, and who they want to continue to be.

Emerald Place brings together a compassionate team of professionals who are dedicated to person-centered care and providing residents with a high quality of life. Our purpose is to protect, engage, and love people with memory loss.

We look forward to learning more about your journey and sharing the many benefits we offer here at Emerald Place.

Welcome to Emerald Place Memory Care!

We invite you to read reviews of our memory care community and see how we have created an environment that nurtures the well-being of our residents.

Protect, Engage & Love

When a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, it’s hard to know where to turn and who to trust. Of course you want them to receive the very best in treatment and care. But you also want them to be treated as an adult with a unique story, someone with personal preferences, abilities and dignity. That is why we make this pledge to you:

• We will answer all of your questions honestly and completely.
• We will seek to discover all that is unique and special about your loved one, including their lifetime story and family experiences.
• We will provide a purpose-filled environment for your loved one that is person-centered to fit their special needs, goals and abilities.
• We will provide your loved one with highly trained professionals with a passion to serve.

We will keep you and your family connected and involved in every aspect of their care.

At Anthem, we take a holistic view of dementia. We take into consideration an individual's biological factors (the type and extent of dementia, comorbidities, and specific cognitive and physical limitations) and psychosocial factors (background, history, preferences, and culture), as well as their faith and spiritual practices. Pathways of Purpose embraces evidence-based practices that focus on enhancing well-being and treats activities not as “busy work” but as life-enhancing interventions. Anthem’s life-engagement strategies are created to bring joy into the lives of residents, their family members, and Anthem team members while alleviating the distress that comes from the experience of memory loss. Anthem Memory Care’s overarching purpose is to protect, engage, and love people living with memory loss. The cornerstone of how that purpose is activated can be found in our life engagement program, Pathways of Purpose.

Technology in Service of Care

We believe in using technology, not as a replacement to care, but to augment and enhance the experience of your loved one. That is why we use the highly innovative It's Never 2 Late™ (iN2L) interactive programs, that allow residents, regardless of ability level, to use special online programs for recreation, learning, mental stimulation, and even to communicate with their loved ones.

We realize some of our residents are unable to use traditional assistance call systems. We have installed unobtrusive digital technology in our communities in order to monitor the safety of our residents 24/7.

We also offer these services for additional peace of mind through a 3rd party partner. SafelyYou Respond is a 24x7 AI technology for fall detection. With consent, a camera is activated in a resident’s room, enabling real-time AI video technology to detect falls. Staff will be notified of on-the-ground events and can review the fall video to understand a fall’s severity, how it occurred, and how to reduce the likelihood of it happening again. Fall video only includes events surrounding on-the-ground occurrences.

SafelyYou Aware offers overnight, remote human check-ins. With consent, a camera is activated in the resident's room to generate 1-minute safety check videos approximately every hour between 7pm-7am. A SafelyYou representative reviews the video for obvious safety concerns, notifying the community when a concern is detected, and documenting resident activity.

Multigenerational programs bring smiles and delight to both young and old. Our communities schedule regular visits from student volunteers and trips to local schools to allow residents to engage with young people. It’s a breath of fresh air to observe as eyes light up, along with lots of smiles and laughter. These tender and spontaneous interactions have a way of sparking memories and connecting residents to those around them in fresh, new ways.

Pet Visits

Animals bring with them a unique therapy of their own. Through local partnerships, we are able to provide regular animal visits, and they never fail to bring joy and delight. The positive effects of pet therapy on seniors are well known, but you need only see their faces light up when a friendly animal walks into our center to understand its amazing impact.

Custom Menus & Nutrition

Nutrition is critical to the health and wellness of those with cognitive impairment. This is why we provide a very specialized menu for each of our residents. We work together with you and your loved one's physician to determine the most beneficial nutrition and meal plan. Then we let our chefs go to work to make every meal as tasty and appealing as it is nutritious.
