General FAQs

Q: What is independent living and who is the best candidate for this lifestyle?

A: Independent living is an opportunity to escape the burdens of home maintenance, repairs, and other daily concerns—such as meal preparation and transportation—and instead enjoy a carefree lifestyle. Go about your days as you please, knowing a helpful staff is ready to serve you. Outstanding amenities, stimulating activities, and the companionship of good friends are other perks.

Q: If I’m in good health and doing okay at home, why move to Independent Living?

A: Making the move to senior living is about gaining a whole new level of freedom and independence—with access to an outstanding array of new possibilities and conveniences. For example, you can travel more easily. Amplify your fitness program by exercising with others. Discover your creative side. Make lots of new friends. Enjoy exceptional dining without lifting a finger. Wake each day knowing all you “have” to do is enjoy life!

Q: What if I need help?

A: Even if you’re doing fine on your own now, it’s always good to know a helping hand is close by, especially if needs change. The same is true in independent living at Tamarisk NorthShore. You enjoy all the perks of an exceptional lifestyle, with the reassurance that a full range of supportive services are close at hand. In-home care can be arranged on site, and additional services such as assisted living and rehabilitation therapies are available through our partnership with CJE SeniorLife.

Q: What is the benefit of a rental community vs. one with a buy-in fee?

A: In a rental community such as Tamarisk NorthShore, there is no buy-in fee. instead, you only pay a simple monthly fee, which covers your private apartment as well as range of services, amenities, activities, programs, and more. Because there is no buy-in fee, you can enjoy an exceptional lifestyle without giving up your assets, giving you financial flexibility and peace of mind. For many people, not having to pay a buy-in free also makes it easier for them to move close to their family and enjoy valuable time together.

Q: Can I get help with downsizing and moving?

A: Yes! Having professional, friendly assistance with the process of moving makes all the difference. Most independent living communities have a move-in coordinator who can assist you with the entire moving process, from downsizing and planning your new space, to packing, to selecting a mover experienced in assisting with moving seniors.
In addition, you’ll also receive assistance organizing and setting up your new home, so that everything feels right for you. At Tamarisk NorthShore, our moving assistance services are exceptional, and we are ready to help you.

Q: How can I know which community is right for me?

A: Before you make any decision, take the time to tour several communities. See how they feel, sample the food, and talk to residents and staff. Do you feel comfortable there? Think about what matters most to you. Are the services and amenities on your list of must-haves? Do their programs and activities interest you?

At Tamarisk NorthShore, you enjoy more freedom and more choices. You are surrounded by people who truly care about you, and are dedicated to offering you the highest level of hospitality. We welcome and celebrate all faiths and we offer the added peace of mind of access to a range of supportive care services should needs change, both in your apartment and next door on CJE SeniorLife’s Deerfield campus. Because even if you don't need it right now, it’s nice to know a helping hand is always there.
