Overview of Ascension Living Resurrection Village

Ascension Living Resurrection Village is a mid-rise, 37-unit community at 7262 W Peterson Ave in Chicago’s Norwood Park neighborhood, operated by Presence Senior Services-Chicagoland. The care levels span memory care, assisted living, and independent living, with units in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Resurrection Medical Center is 0.28 miles from the front door, which is among the closer hospital proximities you will find for a community this size.

The facility is rooted in the Catholic faith tradition, and pastoral and spiritual care are part of the service package alongside the practical daily supports: housekeeping, transportation, beauty services, and rehabilitation. Registered dietitian consultations are available. Exercise programming and organized social activities fill out the wellness side. A volunteer program is active.

The amenity footprint is substantive for 37 units. On-site you get a library, salon, spa, patio, fitness center, greenhouse and garden areas, bike paths, and free ground-level parking. That breadth is unusual at this scale and suggests a campus built for longer stays.

The Walk Score is 47, meaning Norwood Park requires a car for most daily tasks. State inspections have tended to center on care planning and documentation and fall and injury prevention.

For families placing a loved one within a Catholic care tradition, or those who want memory care paired with independent and assisted living on the same campus and a hospital within a quarter mile, this community is a specific and coherent fit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Illinois

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Illinois?

Assisted living in Illinois is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Illinois Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Illinois Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 183 nursing homes in Illinois. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Illinois?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Illinois, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Illinois?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
