The Clare

55 E Pearson St, Chicago, IL 60611
Overview of The Clare

The Clare sits at 55 E Pearson St in Chicago’s Rush & Division neighborhood, a high-rise run by The Clare Partners LLC with 49 units split across one, two, and three-bedroom layouts. Sizes run from 774 square feet up to 1,709.

A Walk Score of 100 means groceries, pharmacies, and most daily errands are a walk away, not a drive. Occupancy sits at 84.4 percent, which tells you the building is mostly full but not maxed out. This is a place that covers a lot of ground on the care spectrum: independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all under one roof, with staff specifically trained in dementia care for residents who need it.

Beauty services, transportation, housekeeping, organized social and recreational activities, exercise and wellness programming, and parking are all part of daily life, and residents also get 24-hour security, an on-site concierge, and access to a full-time exercise physiologist. Dining is flexible and chef-prepared, not a fixed cafeteria schedule. Pets are welcome, too.

The Clare takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one funding path. For residents needing nursing-level support, the staffing data shows about 3 hours and 41 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day.

The Clare is a high-rise community built to handle a resident’s care needs as they change, independent living now, memory care later if it comes to that, without forcing a move somewhere new.
