Creating communities that are alive with people, intellectual awareness, and enduring friendships.

Presbyterian Homes is a not-for-profit, faith based organization with a national reputation for creating extraordinary communities for older adults for more than 100 years. Our retirement communities located in Evanston, Lake Forest and Arlington Heights, have been committed to its founders' vision of providing a place where the dignity of every person is honored, spiritual values are upheld, and excellence of service and quality healthcare is a way of life. Our communities are accredited by CARF.

Everything we do is about providing optimal services and lifestyles choices that support healthy aging for both current and future residents. Breathtaking campuses filled with beautiful gardens, splashing fountains, winding walking paths with shaded seating areas. Fitness centers with state-of-the-art strength-training equipment and swimming pools. Lively, thought-provoking current event discussions and lectures. Dynamic activities and events that provide opportunities to focus on the things that residents personally enjoy. Complete, on-campus, full-service health care centers that offer assisted living, short and long-term nursing care, and memory care.

Guarantee of Continued Residence

At Presbyterian Homes, we provide for a lifetime of services and amenities, but we also provide something more. We give you peace of mind by providing estate preservation and a lifestyle free of worries about future health care and associated costs. We include a range of health care services in return for a one-time entrance fee and ongoing monthly service fee. The fees are based on the size of the home you select. You may choose for the entrance fee to be non-refundable or, depending on the community, from 50% to 90% refundable to you or your estate if you leave the community for any reason.

You’ll have access to any level of care you may need — assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing care — whenever it may be needed. And you’ll receive this care from familiar people in the familiar surroundings of your own community. You can rest easy knowing you’ve provided for every contingency, and concentrate on simply living life and pursuing your interests.

Our benevolent program

Beyond the engaging programs, the gracious residences, and the comprehensive health care is something even more important. The Geneva Foundation of Presbyterian Homes provides more than $7.5 million annually in residential, medical and community services to older adults in need. In fact, 1 in 7 residents receives financial assistance through our charitable programs.
