Peace Village

Overview of Peace Village

Peace Village is a 65-bed nonprofit community located at 10300 Village Circle Drive in Palos Park, Illinois. Operated as a stand-alone mission-driven entity led by Harvey Leffring, the five-building campus serves the southwest Chicago suburbs under a license active through August 2026. With a 37-year history, it is among the most established providers in the region, offering a continuum of care that spans 240 independent living apartments, 65 assisted living residences, and specialized memory care.

The community provides 24-hour medical oversight and localized care coordination under Illinois state jurisdiction. While no CMS star rating applies, current 2026 data indicate the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for the current licensure cycle, as no surveys have yet been conducted under the active license issued in August 2025. Historical performance data is publicly accessible through the state’s health facility database for those seeking a multi-decade regulatory context. Estimated monthly costs for assisted living start at approximately $4,900, with specialized memory care starting at $8,900.

Direct bedside support is coordinated 24/7 by a team of licensed nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The clinical model focuses on a holistic approach to senior health, integrating physical, emotional, and social well-being through professional nursing and rehabilitation services. Residents have access to high-acuity support and on-site clinical clinics, with Palos Community Hospital located just 3.2 miles from the campus. Current clinical tracking emphasizes individualized care plans and a 24-hour emergency call system in every suite.

The campus features one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, walk-in closets, and in-suite climate control. All-inclusive monthly services cover chef-prepared meals, weekly housekeeping, and professional laundry.

Communal gardens, a wellness center, and inviting social lounges across a 22-acre campus. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily engagement through Christian religious services, devotional activities, and a robust volunteer program. Although the campus is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 1, scheduled transportation is provided for cultural events and shopping in nearby Orland Park.

Those seeking a mission-driven environment with significant regional tenure and organizational stability may find this setting appropriate. Prospective residents and their representatives should visit the campus directly and request the community’s internal care protocols and staffing ratios to assess 2026 performance firsthand.
