What do you picture when you imagine the ideal assisted living community for your family’s senior living needs?
While families seek out assisted living for lots of reasons—amenities and care among them—many also hope to discover a sense of familiarity, calm, and connection in their chosen community.
The Birches boutique-style assisted living community offers personalized care, a dedicated, long-tenured team, and peaceful, home-like surroundings that create a true sense of belonging for all our valued Members.
In large, hotel-like communities, it’s easy to feel lost in the shuffle. At The Birches, we know each Member by name, and every family who chooses us gains a trusted partner in their loved one’s care journey.
Visit in person, and you’ll immediately notice the difference. Our community was lovingly designed to be warm, welcoming, and intentionally scaled for comfort and familiarity.
From shared kitchens to inviting living rooms, everything about The Birches was made to support our Members’ independence, ease, engagement, and dignity.
The Birches’ thoughtfully cozy community design also offers Members a genuine connection to nature.
Tucked into a serene neighborhood just minutes from downtown Burr Ridge, our community campus exudes a sense of peace and calm, enhanced by our close connection to the natural world.
Our campus incorporates green spaces that feel intimate, comfortable, and walkable, encouraging Members to savor and explore them in security and ease.
Members and their guests enjoy tree-lined walking paths, seasonal gardens, and cozy outdoor patios that invite conversation, quiet reflection, movement, and mindfulness.
More than just a perk, time in nature benefits older adults in many measurable ways. From improved cognition and mood to reduced stress, connection to nature is a powerful tool in successful aging. The Birches campus was designed to maximize these benefits.
Assisted living at The Birches is never one-size-fits-all. Our community near Burr Ridge offers personalized support at every level, designed to meet each Member’s evolving needs while helping them thrive with dignity and independence.
Whether a Member needs simple assistance with a few daily tasks or more hands-on support with their mobility and wellness, our care plans are thoughtfully tailored to reflect their goals, personality, and preferences.
We offer different levels of assisted living services to ensure we meet individuals where they are, supporting them as their needs change and evolve.

Each day, Members are encouraged to participate in enriching programs that support all four components of successful aging: social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual. These dimensions of wellness are reflected in everything from our fitness classes and lifelong learning lectures to our creative art workshops and resident-run clubs.
Because care needs can shift, The Birches offers smooth and seamless transitions from assisted living to memory care when needed. There’s no need to relocate to a new community or start over with unfamiliar providers. Our team already knows each Member deeply and personally. They’re ready to offer increased support with the same warmth, respect, and personal attention our Members know and trust.
At The Birches, our Members are at the center of everything we do. With our close-knit team, commitment to compassionate care, and boutique model that values personalization over scale, we empower Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, and Hinsdale seniors to connect with lifestyles rooted in meaning, choice, and connection.
The Birches senior living community is more than just a place to live—it’s a place to truly call home.
