Wonderful location in the heart of River North, breathtaking views of the city and lake throughout the community, phenomenal food, friendly residents, and absolutely incredible hospitality from all levels of employees — from the Cooks and Housekeepers up to the HR Team and Executive Director. If I had the option, I would move in myself, today. I cannot say enough good things about The Clare - as somebody who works in the Senior Living industry I can say with utmost confidence that The Clare offers an unmatched value to anybody craving comfort, community, and hospitality in a lively urban setting.
