Just outside of Chicago, Glenview is a village that’s primarily residential. Over 1 in 5 of the city’s 47,308 residents are seniors aged 65 or older. For medical care, the village’s older adults may turn to the Glenbrook Hospital, which includes joint replacements and spinal, neurologic and vision care among its specialties.
In Chicago, according to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, the average nursing home resident pays $8,076 per month for a semiprivate room, which is slightly higher than the corresponding national rate of $7,756. Nursing homes are relatively expensive, but in return, they provide advanced levels of care, with residents able to access around-the-clock care and attention from professionals like licensed nurses and therapists. Seniors who don’t rely on such high levels of care may find that assisted living or home health care is a better, more budget-friendly setup.
The next part of this guide looks more closely at the costs of various forms of senior care. Then, it concludes with some resources that can meet a variety of the needs of Glenview’s older adults.
