More than 200 Years of Combined Leadership and Strength

In early 2006, Covenant Retirement Communities and United Methodist Homes & Services, two faith-based, non-sectarian, nonprofit organizations -- each with more than 100 years of service supporting older adults -- formed an alliance to provide a continuum of health care services and housing to seniors on the north side of Chicago.

Covenant Retirement Communities was founded in 1896 and operates skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living retirement communities. United Methodist Homes & Services was incorporated in 1898 and operates rehabilitation, memory support assisted living, affordable housing, home care, and home repair and improvement services.

Now known as Covenant Methodist Senior Services (CMSS), we offer a variety of supportive services and residential options, all of which have the coveted endorsement of the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Sponsored by the American Association of Homes & Services for the Aging, CARF is the nation's only accrediting body for aging services and only those providers that meet their stringent standards are awarded CARF accreditation.  The CARF "seal of approval" is your assurance of CMSS' commitment to excellence and the highest standards of care.  For more information about CARF, visit their web site: www.carf.org.
