The Admiral at the Lake, a CCRC - Chicago, IL

Chicago’s oldest, nonprofit retirement living organization is introducing the city’s newest option in long-term care. Truly one of a kind, The Admiral at the Lake has delivered innovative retirement living to Chicagoans for more than 150 years. The Admiral is a CCRC offering a full continuum of care including independent living and The Harbors which consists of assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing, easing the transition from one level of living to another.

We know choosing the right community isn’t a simple decision. It requires careful thought, discussion and research. It also means finding daily enrichment with ongoing opportunity for expression and growth, regardless of age or health care needs.
We are proud to be affiliated with the not-for-profit Kendal Corporation. Their values resonate deeply with those held by The Admiral residents, staff, and board. For more than 40 years, Kendal has been known for fiscal integrity and transparency in governance. Values and Practices rooted in Quaker principles led Kendal to establish a federal-type governance system that blends autonomy with shared strengths. Each Kendal community is an independently owned and operated nonprofit organization with its own volunteer board.

Indoors and out, we have amenities across many interests and lifestyles.
