Mather LifeWays is a unique, non-denominational not-for-profit organization that has served older adults for 70 years. dedicated to developing and implementing Ways to Age Well, we create programs, places and residences for today's young-at-heart older adults.

Our founder, Alonzo Mather, was more than a successful entrepreneur-he was a well-regarded humanitarian. From building what was once the tallest skyscraper in Chicago, to inventing the first humane freight car for livestock, to funding one of the first Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the nation, his past fuels our future. With his legacy in mind, we're committed to three areas of service: Institute on Aging, Community Initiatives, and Senior Living Residences.
