Description
Peace Village retirement community is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation established in 1985 as a continuation of the faith-based outreach of Peace Memorial Church serving seniors in greater Chicagoland, including Palos Park, Orland Park and Tinley Park.
Construction of Peace Village began in 1988 and we welcomed our first resident in May 1989. Our Circle Inn assisted living residences and multipurpose Grewe Center opened in January 1998. In 2005, Peace Village created The Peace Professional Center, which is now home to Heart Care Centers of Illinois, as well as other medical and professional suites.
Characterized by a strong dedication to excellence and delivering the highest quality of life possible for our residents, the entire staff of Peace Village retirement community is committed to setting the best example of ethical practice and maintaining the highest standards of health and well-being in the community. We want our residents’ experience at Peace Village to be among the best of their lives.
