Your commitment brings warmth, dignity, and joy to every day. Thank you for making Birches Living a great place to live and work!

Celebrating all you do and more, Happy Labor Day to our team!

It’s never too late to start decorating for Halloween! We have a lot of festivities planned this Fall and we had to get started early!

And the best part? Our residents are leading the way — crafting the decorations and transforming their space into a festive, spooky delight for neighbors and guests to enjoy!

Using Montessori-inspired approaches means empowering residents to be hands-on, creative, and fully involved in making their environment feel like home. When they decide create and celebrate together, it’s more than just decor — it’s meaningful connection and joyful engagement!

Let the Halloween magic begin! 🧡🖤

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate our good friend and youngest Clarendon Hills Chamber of Commerce member, Caroline from Caroline’s Birdie Tweets, as she and her family start their next adventure in CT!

It has been our pleasure working closely with you the last few years bringing the Daisy Shoppe Young Entrepreneurs market to Village of Clarendon Hills at Daisy Days! Our residents will miss seeing our birds and squirrels devouring your “tweets” on our patio too! From all of us at The Birches and neighbors in Clarendon Hills, you will be deeply missed! Good luck on this next chapter, we will see you again soon, and remember, you got this! 😉 🥰

Big news from our boutique community — our Seasoned & Sustainable Club is excited to launch our next sustainability initiative by adding composting to our recycling efforts and reducing Styrofoam waste! ♻️

It’s all about living with purpose, doing our part for the planet, and leaving a legacy we’re proud of. Our residents and team members are showing that senior living communities can make a positive difference and lead the way — and we're proud to set a proven example right here in Illinois as the only Gold Credentialed Montessori Inspired Lifestyle senior living community! 💚

The Birches Seasoned & Sustainable Club has introduced their "LIT Series" to feature a monthly documentary related to environmental awareness. This event is open to all Birches' members.

This month we featured the latest documentary, The Need to Grow, which will inspire you with the latest technologies and hope in the restoration of this beautiful Earth. In preparation for Environmental Awareness Month this upcoming September, our members are interested in learning more on what they can do personally, and as a community, to inspire change and make an impact. There is hope and the technology is already here to make a change.

This free viewing of the documentary is available to view and share with others. The link is in the comments if you are interested in learning more!

Did you know that a majority of our residents report an improved quality of life after a move to assisted living? Introducing the concept of assisted living to a friend or family member provides additional comfort and reassurance too! If you know someone that would love (or may need) to learn more, we are here to help be a local resource to answer their questions. With our 25+ years of experience, our team has worked hard to have most answers listed on our website for an easy 24/7 resource. Feel free to share with others! https://hubs.la/Q03BpBVP0

We wanted to share a big shoutout to our amazing Birches' Community! In addition to having a Back to School drive to support People's Resource Center in Westmont this season, our resident volunteers successfully stuffed 24 bags full of school supplies to help our team members' families start the school year right! Here's to learning, growing, and thriving together — one pencil at a time! 💙📚
