Our Story

Our lakefront community is located on the city’s North Side, steps from Foster Avenue Beach. Dining, theater, shopping – the best of Chicago is within easy reach. And that’s nothing compared to what you’ll find on the inside. Take a look at The Admiral. With an independent spirit and the protection of Lifecare, this is urban retirement living at its finest. Founded in 1858, The Admiral is Chicago’s oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to creating senior living with innovative, responsive solutions to address the needs of Chicago area seniors. Today, after more than 150 years, we’re beginning a new chapter in the future of senior living in Chicago, one specifically designed to meet the expectations of people like you. The Admiral at the Lake is now an affiliate of Kendal, a nonprofit organization that also has a rich history of serving older adults, with 14 communities in six states, and advocacy and education initiatives nationwide. To learn more about Kendal, visit them online at discoverkendal.org At The Admiral at the Lake, our vision for senior living in Chicago is only getting better. Together with Kendal, we look forward to continuing and enhancing our proud tradition of quality service to older adults who are drawn to the idea of vibrant retirement living in Chicago, one of the world’s greatest cities.
