About The Selfhelp Home
Near Lake Michigan, The Selfhelp Home has housed Chicago’s retiring, Jewish seniors since 1951. The non-profit retirement community offers a continuum of care services within a historic, multi-story building that originally housed Holocaust refugees. Close by, residents can enjoy lakeside activities - hit the putting greens, play a game of tennis, explore the gardens, or simply relax at the beach on sunny days.
With a variety of care options, this expansive community enables seniors to gracefully age in place. Whether residents want a safe place to lead an active, independent lifestyle or require rehabilitative services after a hospital visit, The Selfhelp Home has you covered. Care options include independent living, assisted living, long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, and respite care.
This community was designed to help residents lead satisfying lives filled with friendships and hobbies. In their leisure time, residents can enjoy amenities including a gorgeous rooftop garden, solarium, gift shop, media room, movie theater, wellness center, and sanctuary. Plus, regularly hosted events like musical concerts, news briefs, art shows, clubs, tai chi classes, and holiday celebrations keep residents active and thriving.
