Independent Living in an Elegant Setting at Lake Forest Place

Never let go of your zest for life.

Independence thrives at Lake Forest Place - an exceptional place to enjoy retirement living. Our town center is alive with people and activities. Residents love to walk or bike throughout our 49-acre campus of majestic hardwood trees and vibrant gardens filled with ornamental bushes and fragrant flowers.

Elegant residences include cottages with fireplaces, plus spacious apartments - some as large as 2,200 square feet.

Lake Forest Place's town center - with its bright sunlit atrium - serves as the hub of campus activity:

  • meals are served in a well-appointed dining room overlooking a beautiful courtyard
  • the casual café offers diners a quick bite
  • our private dining rooms are a welcome choice for hosting a special-occasion gathering
  • out-of-town guests can be comfortably accommodated in our overnight guest suites
  • conveniences include a bank, gift shop/market, hair salon and spa services
  • auditorium for concerts, classes, and thought-provoking lectures to keep you engaged and informed
  • an extensive library
  • tranquil chapel
  • a woodworking shop.

The fitness center has state-of-the-art strength-building equipment and a swimming pool where residents can participate in wellness, fitness and water aerobics programs. Lake Forest Place's private bus provides transportation to shopping, to the train station and for off-campus excursions throughout the Chicago area.

Comprehensive On-Campus Health Services

One of the most important ways Lake Forest Place can ensure peace of mind for residents is by providing health services right on campus. The Highlands at Lake Forest Place is an assisted living community for residents who need additional support. The Balmoral Care Center provides rehabilitation and long-term care. It also offers a special memory care center with a secured, sensory garden and engaging activities and programs.
