"The latest news is that my mother has agreed to go to assisted living. The nice thing about this facility is that they have assisted living on the first floor then skilled nursing care on the 2nd and 3rd floor. There is a primary care physician in the front section of this community and since I needed to get a new doctor for my mother anyway, it all seemed to come together. You were a big help in this process. And yes, the communities/facilities you sent me were helpful too. Many of them contacted me by phone or email and they were very nice. Truly, again I want to thank you for being there for me. You were calming and caring as well as being a good listener when I needed one. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to have your support."

"I simply wanted to write and say Peggy with A Place for Mom has truly kept me sane. My mother’s situation left me feeling helpless when she had a heart attack and I was told she would need 24/7 care. She had not done any planning for this situation and I was left trying to find the right place for her within her budget constraints and I didn’t know where to begin. Peggy spoke to me on the phone for a very long time. She was gentle and concerned and she has been there ever since via email and phone even on the weekends. Your service is a God send and I feel fortunate to have a person like Peggy to help me."

-- Melody G.

"I would like to take this time out again to thank you for your prompt and courteous response! I would like to offer you my gratitude for the info that you gave to me in regards to helping me find assisted living for my "God-Mother". I truly did not know where to begin and I am thankful for you (the organization and the website) for "guiding my steps." May you to continue to be blessed and be able to assist in giving blessings."

-- Cherise C.

Washington Square of Hinsdale Inc. (R) Retirement Community
A quiet celebration of independent living for active adults sixty years of age and older has been going on every day since Washington Square Retirement Community opened to the first residents in 1977. Conceived, and still managed today as a not-for-profit corporation guided by a local board of Hinsdale community leaders, Washington Square was designed to offer a comfortable transition from home ownership to a more carefree, manageable lifestyle.

You can walk to local shops, doctors' offices, the village library, the post office, drugstore and church services. With that kind of convenience, there's no need for a car at Washington Square. Bus service is available for doctor appointments, shopping, visiting friends and family or for special day-trips planned by the Activities Director.

There are no strangers at Washington Square. With only 71 apartments, you live in a friendly, personal atmosphere, yet your privacy is respected. And your needs always come first. A full-time executive director and staff see that each resident is comfortable, cared for and enjoy retirement to its fullest. For reassurance, an on-site security person is available if needed.

Washington Square is a community of lively, active residents. While some residents are always on the go, others prefer a more relaxed pace. Whatever your lifestyle, there's a place for you at Washington Square.

At dinnertime, you enjoy the company of friends, neighbors and family, while being served a delicious meal in the comfortable dining room, overlooking a garden patio. Your guests are always welcome to join you, or you may wish to prepare meals in your own completely equipped kitchen. Convenience, security, independence — you will have them all at Washington Square.
