For 25 years, Mather Institute has expanded and deepened our understanding of aging and senior living, providing a critical research-based perspective on older adults and their preferences, behaviors and experiences.
The Evanston, Illinois-based institute is part of non-profit Mather, which operates four senior living communities in Illinois, Arizona and Virginia, and provides programs in the community-at-large in the Chicagoland area. Since the institute’s founding in 1999, the senior living field has changed dramatically, and Mather Institute has played a vital part in its evolution with sophisticated insights that have helped steer the development of practices and policies geared toward better serving older adults.
