Having lived at the Clare for almost 10 years, I can unequivocally say thar joining this community was one of the wisest decisions we ever made. The residents, staff, programming and facilities are superb. One can chose to participate in a wide variety of activities, enjoy meaningful friendships, while living independently; always with the comfort of realizing that a wide variety of care is available if needed. The location can't be beat for those who wish to take advantage of all that Chicago has to offer artistically and culturally, Transportation at no cost is available throughout the downtown and local area. One last thing to note is that our food service is outstanding!!

The perfect retirement move is all about patience, timing and finding a retirement community you can call home like the Clare. When I first explored Continuing Care Retirement Communities in Chicago and the suburbs, the sales and marketing staff at the Clare made a wonderful impression, especially Cathy - they were informative, positive and truly motivated me to do my research. After visiting several retirement communities the Clare stood out for me. the location was important. The location provided entertainment, events, shops, grocery stores, access to the lake, walking paths and parks. Another important feature was the Northwestern Hospital in walking distance from the Clare. I moved in on June 25, 2026 and the Clare has exceeded my expectations.

I stayed at The Clare for over two weeks after surgery.The daily one-on-one physical and occupational therapy was exceptional. It provided me with the tools I needed for a successful recovery along with instructions on how to manuever in the outside environment. The staff was professional, upbeat, positive and endearing. Everyone including, the laundry, service, housekeeping, nursing, CNAs, dining services, social workers and church services exceeded my expections.

I cannot say enough good things about The Clare! My mother-in-law recently stayed at the rehab facilities for about a month after an illness landed her in the hospital. The Clare not only helped her regain her strength but her confidence as well. The entire staff, from the nurses, the therapists and even the hair salon owner, were beyond caring and compassionate. There were daily activities, like visits from therapy dogs, that kept my mother-in-law entertained as well. The facility was always clean, and I was told the food was delicious. While she was there, I slept easy every night knowing she was in good hands. If your loved one ever needs help getting back on their feet, I cannot recommend The Clare enough!
