Assisted Living That Truly Feels Like Home: The Birches The Birches in Clarendon Hills offers assisted living and memory care apartments that are cozy, private, and secure, the way a home should be. If you're looking for assisted living in the western suburbs of Chicago, at The Birches, you have the freedom and flexibility to live your life the way you want. But help and support are there when you need it, which makes everything a whole lot simpler. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to do what you love and discover new hobbies through our meaningful and purposeful programming. You’ll be challenged, motivated and fulfilled because The Birches has a unique philosophy about aging. At The Birches, we know that successful aging is determined more by lifestyle choices than genetics, so we provide our residents with the supportive environment that they need to live a healthy, well-rounded life. We are not a big chain. We are a standalone, owner-operated community that feels like just that— a community. You can enjoy a homemade meal with your neighbor. Take your dog for a walk in the courtyard. Meet your friends on the terrace for happy hour. Learn how to become a beekeeper. Drive to your weekly club meeting. Or get comfy in your apartment with a movie and a bowl of popcorn. We understand the decision to transition into assisted living is not an easy one. You may need assistance, but you don’t want to give up your independence. At The Birches, you don’t have to. We provide the personalized support you need. Take a look at our Assisted Living and Memory Care neighborhoods to find the apartment and support that’s right for you.
