Located in the heart of Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, CMSS offers memory care in assisted living; paraprofessional home care services; and low-income senior apartments. In addition, CMSS supports older adults living independently in the community, with a drop-in center located in Bellwood, IL that also hosts one of the only suburban support groups for LGBT older adults in the country, and a volunteer-based program that matches volunteer's one-on-one with an older adult who requests a volunteer.

Under Bill’s leadership, CMSS and its subsidiaries have entered into many joint ventures and strong partnerships including vertical integration initiatives, wherein CMSS has become a client owner of services that were previously provided to CMSS by unrelated parties.
