Danish Home of Chicago

Danish Home of Chicago For over 130 years we've honored the Danish tradition of caring for our elders. We are an NFP organization. đŸ‡©đŸ‡°đŸŒŸđŸ«¶đŸĄ

As a CCRC, trust us with your loved one in Independent, Sheltered Care, and private pay intermediate Skilled Nursing. Nestled in a quiet Chicago neighborhood, The Danish Home, established in 1891 is a boutique continuing care retirement community that offers a secure, caring environment for its residents. At The Danish Home, we welcome applicants of any background. Yet a core of Danish-at-heart re

sidents, staff and board members lead the community in maintaining long-running traditions and welcoming new ones brought to The Danish Home by residents of different heritages. You will enjoy lively outings, activities, and get-togethers in a close-knit setting. Comfortable rooms and suites are just steps away from tastefully decorated public spaces where you may host small private gatherings. Outside is a beautiful park-like garden, the site of many summer picnics and parties. Best of all, no matter how your circumstances might change, you can count on The Danish Home. Since our community is licensed for several levels of care, you know that once you have entered The Danish Home, you do not have to worry about the future! New residents and their families quickly get to know everyone else: residents, staff, and volunteers. At The Danish Home, there are no strangers-only friends you haven’t made yet!

Big thank you to our local Alderman- Anthony Napolitano and his team for bringing us lunch today at The Danish Home. The Alderman gave our residents time to ask him questions about the happenings in Chicago and in our very own Norwood Park. It felt like summer was truly on the horizon with the perfect weather and a "ballpark" hot dog. See it from his perspective! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1B8Q3j5Adu/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Celebrated in March each year in the United States, Women’s History Month is dedicated to honoring the vital role and contributions of women in American history and society. This month, we honor the twelve women of Danish descent, who founded The Danish Home of Chicago in 1891 with charity in their hearts and a vision to assist elderly people. We also recognize our hardworking Women’s Auxiliary and our dedicated female staff, who continue to serve The Danish Home so professionally. Each day, these dynamic women help The Danish Home’s beloved residents stay active through friendships and programs while embracing social connections.
