A BRIEF HISTORY OF TABOR HILLS

Founded in 1894, we began on a 43-acre farm in Bensenville, Illinois. Around the turn of the century, a picnic grove located on what was then Crawford Avenue in Chicago was acquired in exchange for the Bensenville property. During that time the facility that was then constructed served both as an orphanage and a senior home. The orphanage was discontinued in the early 1950’s.

The "Old Home"

Through the years, the Home has been guided by one major principle: to care for its residents in the best possible way. Various organizations and contributing members represented in the Assembly of Delegates continue to recognize that the Bohemian Home for the Aged is dedicated to promoting independence, ensuring dignity and providing loving care so that our residents never need to feel alone or unwanted by today’s society.

We are responsible to an Assembly of Delegates, whose members represent a broad spectrum of organizations and lodges in the Chicago metropolitan area. Members of the Board of Directors are elected by the Assembly to oversee the operation of the Tabor Hills community, setting its policies and procedures and managing its finances.

The Officers and Directors of the Home elected to relocate to a larger campus. This was accomplished in 1994 when property in Naperville, consisting of approximately 35 acres, was acquired. Plans were developed for not only a healthcare facility but also a retirement community. “Tabor Hills” was chosen as the name for this new community.

The present Tabor Hills Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center has 211 beds and is a state-of-the-art facility. The Retirement Community offers 104 one- and two- bedroom homes. In 2000 an additional 17-acres was purchased to the west of the Naperville property increasing the size of the community to 52 acres. This will be the new home of our Supportive Living, an affordable Assisted Living Community with 95 studio, one and two bedroom apartments. Construction has begun on this site which is located at 1439 McDowell Road. We anticipate its opening in late 2007.
