About Lexington Square

Lexington Square is a family-owned company where
residents, family and friends are extensions of our family.

The Lexington story begins back in 1983, when a young family purchased land in Lombard with the intention of developing a state-of-the-art senior health care facility. The goal was to create a place where residents could recover from a short spell of illness or spend the duration of their life with caring support from compassionate staff. When the doors finally opened in 1984, Lexington Health Care officially was launched.

From 1984 to 1996, the family created a dynamic and comprehensive health care system that grew to include 10 health care centers, two independent Life Care communities, and a home health care agency. This rapid growth is attributed to the family’s desire to expand a developed template for superior health and senior care—a family business caring for families in need.

Today, Lexington manages more than 2,000 skilled nursing beds in 10 health care centers, more than 500 independent retirement units and more than 70 assisted living units at Lombard Square. Our diverse health care offerings include home health, hospice and sleep center services through our affiliate Merit Health Care. Together, Lexington and Merit employ more than 2,500 full and part time people and provide immeasurable value to the communities we serve. All of our facilities are located in the Chicagoland suburbs, providing management and ownership daily opportunities for ongoing involvement and support.

Lexington is a full spectrum company. This means we are able to care for seniors wherever they prefer to live and can accommodate them with ease if they choose or need to move. With home care, independent living, assisted living and health care center options in place, Lexington offers residents continuity of philosophy, care and compassion in an environment of their choice. In addition, staff in each entity communicates regularly and works side by side to secure the most favorable living situation for each resident.

As a family-owned company, we have a unique perspective: Whether you’re a resident, family member or employee, you are considered to be an extension of our family. In an industry of rapid change and growth, one thing that will never change is our commitment to family values.

That’s our story. We invite you to become a part of our future, and a part of our family.
