100 years and it’s just the beginning!
This year Smith Village is excited to celebrate our centennial anniversary!
What began as an idea to provide housing for the elderly who didn’t have anyone to care for them has blossomed into the gold standard in senior living in Chicagoland. To celebrate we’ll be hosting exciting events, informative exhibits, sharing video tributes and more.
How it all started: The history of Smith Village
When the Oakhaven Old People’s Home (Smith Village’s first name) opened in 1924, there were 44 residents. Now ten decades later, we’re home to almost 300. But that isn’t all that has changed. Take a trip down memory lane and discover the storied history of Smith Village.
The look and the name of the community may have changed through the years, but one thing remains the same – a commitment to providing the highest quality care with an exceptional lifestyle. It’s senior living at its finest!
