Testimonials

My mother, Adele Shore Bernstein, was at The Selfhelp Home for five years, entering at the age of around 98 and living there for five years until she passed away at age 103. I have the highest regard and greatest appreciation for the attention, care and kindness she received from the wonderful staff at the home. They were all wonderful and those close to my mother are very grateful for the care she received at the home. She hardly had any complaints, even thought she was in bad shape and very low spirits (through no fault of the home). The home did its best to maintain her physical condition and boost her spirits.

My mother lived at The Selfhelp Home for eight years. She was a Holocaust survivor and lived in Florida. At age 89, my brother and I felt she shouldn’t be alone. My brother lives in Washington, DC and I live in Chicago. I had heard of SHH And thought she would be a good fit. Despite the difficult initial adjustment, she fits in great. The environment is warm and cultural, offering weekly concerts, book clubs, political discussions and an array of residents with fascinating histories and supportive families.

The staff has been there for many years which speaks to how well they are treated and at the same time they treat the residents with loving care! I would be grateful moving to SHH myself when the time comes!

My father, who is almost 90, had some ups and downs with his health prior to moving to Selfhelp. He has been in excellent health since moving to Selfhelp. I think that is because he eats three healthy meals a day in the dining room, he exercises in a class or in the fitness room, and the staff manages his medications. My dad often comments that all of the staff are “so nice” and how much he appreciates the great quality of care. He greatly enjoys the concerts, movies, social events, sense of community, and the friendships he has made. I’m glad I chose the Selfhelp Home for him, and I have peace of mind knowing how well taken care of he is of there.

Thank you for having an impact on my mother’s life. What you do every day is so meaningful for so many people and is much appreciated.
