Mather LifeWays

Mather is a non-profit organization based in Evanston, Illinois, dedicated to creating "Ways to Age Well" through senior living communities and aging research. The organization operates several Life Plan Communities that provide independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. A central component of the organization is the Mather Institute, which serves as a prominent research hub for gerontology, wellness, and senior living trends. The Institute conducts large-scale studies, such as the Age Well Study, and collaborates with academic institutions to develop evidence-based programs for older adults. Mather rebranded from Mather LifeWays to Mather in 2020 to reflect its comprehensive approach to senior wellness and its expanding national footprint.
