Paul House & Health Care Center is a skilled nursing and assisted-living community that has been part of Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood for over 100 years. The community is defined by its medical professionals, staff, residents, and long-standing ties to the surrounding neighborhood.
Paul House operates multiple communities, each staffed and equipped to address the unique needs of its residents, allowing for individualized care and attention. An interdisciplinary approach connects therapy, nursing, activities, culinary and social services departments, enabling specific, individualized care and smoother transfers between the different communities when needed.
Residents can take part in various activities, including an escort to meals, time with a companion at the on-site aviary for birdwatching, or friendly games in one of two activity centers. Social groups are also available, such as a walking club that visits the nearby multi-acre Horner Park complex along the Chicago River.
Many residents grew up in and around Irving Park, giving the community a neighborhood feel where newcomers are treated as neighbors and friends. Paul House has built deep relationships with nearby social and medical professionals over its long history in the area, and it is centrally located near hospitals.
The community also maintains long-standing ties with neighborhood schools, which provides a steady flow of volunteers for inter-generational programs. Families are invited to schedule an appointment to visit in person and discuss their loved one's unique needs and appropriate care and living arrangement options.
