Overview of Tabor Hills

Tabor Hills sits on Crystal Ave in Naperville, Illinois, a 96-bed community that combines nursing home care with assisted living and independent living under one roof. The building is two stories, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. It’s not a walking neighborhood; the Walk Score sits at 21, so getting anywhere means a car.

Occupancy runs at 62.2%, and the average resident stays around 62 days, a stay length short enough to suggest a real share of rehab or recovery cases moving through rather than only long-term residents. Nursing coverage backs that up: residents get about 4 hours and 34 minutes of total nursing care per day, with close to 2 of those hours coming from registered nurses specifically, not just aides.

Money matters get handled through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one option. Pets are welcome too, a small detail that can carry real weight for someone leaving a longtime home behind.

John Bozett owns Tabor Hills. What stands out about this place is the range: nursing care, assisted living, and independent living all exist inside the same address. For a family trying to plan ahead, that kind of range means a resident’s needs can shift without forcing a search for an entirely new building somewhere else.
