Nestled in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, Thorek Retirement Home offers spectacular city views and an enclosed, green sanctuary where residents can enjoy nature amidst the metropolis. Operating on the belief that retirement should be an exciting adventure to look forward to, the community empowers its residents to lead their best lives. With independent living, assisted living, and memory care services, care is catered to each resident’s needs.

Ideally located less than 20 minutes from the city’s downtown, this community neighbors the Methodist Hospital of Chicago and offers convenient access to the area’s top restaurants, museums, parks, and theaters. Residents also find themselves caught up in the fun of on-site amenities and events — they can take advantage of the fitness center, garden, and lounges, or join their community members for scheduled outings, lectures, game nights, live performances, classes, and more.

Residents’ health and wellness is still the number one priority, so Thorek Retirement Home offers 24-hour licensed nursing care, emergency call systems, and dietary plans administered by a dietician. Caregivers also provide assistance with activities of daily living and memory care.

At Thorek Retirement Home, residents enjoy luxury studio and one-bedroom apartments. Each residence features kitchenettes, walk-in showers, and spacious closets for comfortable living.

  • Excellent Location

    They have new owners. The place is nice. The environment is nice. But it needs some updating. The new administration does not help the residents. The activities are not for independent living. It is a transition right now. They have some remodeling planned. It is an excellent location. They do have transportation.

  • Great location, good size rooms, kind staff, icky food.

    When the new management took over the food quality went down. The staffing went down as well when the the management changed. Rooms are good size. They have a good value for the neighborhood they are in and what you get for the money. The wellness/ activities director is doing the best she can with the Covid-19 virus. They are doing the best they can.The administrator has never returned my calls. They are not great with communication around working people hours.
