Overview of The Mather

A continuing care retirement community in Evanston, IL, The Mather covers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. The continuing care model ties every level, from the first apartment to skilled nursing, into one arrangement as a person’s needs change over time.

Independent living is a private residence with community services attached, and daily care is not part of the package. Assisted living leaves the apartment in the resident’s hands, and staff cover medication, bathing, dressing, and the other routine tasks of a day. Memory care watches over people who might wander, inside a secured space. Skilled nursing is the licensed-nurse level of care that is clinical.

With 22 beds, The Mather is on the small side, which gives staff and residents room to get to know one another. Each resident is backed, on average, by 6 hours and 58 minutes of nursing time in a day. Two-bedroom residences suit a couple moving in as a pair, and there are one-bedroom residences as well.

Medicare and private funds are how residents pay, and Medicare’s part is limited to covered skilled care over a short span after hospitalization. At 95, the area rates as a walker’s paradise, and the day’s errands are doable on foot, by car, or no car.

The Mather Evanston operates the community. Residents may bring pets along.
