Find Residential Care Home Communities Near Chicago, IL

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Residential care homes in Chicago may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Chicago care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Chicago, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Assisted Living facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Lower West Side, Near South Side and Bridgeport.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Bloomingdale, Park Forest and Highland Park.

5 / 5.0

Robin's Nest is very nice and homey. Our Aunt was only there a short time before she died, but she enjoyed being there and they provided her with an abundance of attention. The staff and Dr. Robin Ross are very attentive and caring and I feel it is a wonderful place for assisted living.

5 / 5.0

The staff are very considerate give one on one attention to the residents which is what they need. It is a very small facility. They make you feel at home which is amazing.

Discover the many ways to pay for senior living

Research services for seniors in Chicago, IL

In Chicago, IL, seniors have access to local offices and organizations that may help them obtain financial assistance for senior care, including:

When it comes to transportation, the iconic “L-train” can take you all over the city of Chicago on its elevated tracks. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) operates bus routes between downtown, O’Hare International Airport, and Midway Airport, as well as north-south routes up and down the region.

Located on the banks of Lake Michigan, the Windy City is the largest population center in the Midwest and the heart of its arts and cultural scene. Although the city might be rightfully famous for its cuisines and the Sears Tower (now Willis Tower), Chicago has much more to offer than deep-dish pizza and architecture. From the festivities of Navy Pier to the masterpieces of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Windy City has numerous cultural opportunities for the active mind. If sports are your choice for entertainment, look no further than the city’s numerous championship-winning sports teams: the Chicago Bears (NFL), the Chicago Blackhawks (NHL), the Chicago Bulls (NBA), the Chicago Cubs (MLB), and the Chicago White Sox (MLB).
