“The KBH staff responds quickly to our concerns and needs,” commented Jody Pringle, a long-term KBH community resident who recent transitioned to her new Carrington Hall home. “They prioritize our care and well-being and provide excellent service with compassion and interest.”

Weekly housekeeping, linen changes and trash removal make it easy to keep things neat, clean and organized.

On the medical side, residents enjoy convenient access to DuPage Medical Group Geriatrics located on the north side of the KBH building.

With a picturesque setting on an expansive 35-acre campus, Carrington Hall offers year-round enjoyment of the changing seasons. Spring tulips and daffodils, colorful summer annuals and perennials, festive fall foliage and glistening white snow highlight the four seasons with breathtaking beauty.

A reduced entry fee currently makes the decision to move to Carrington Hall an excellent and timely consideration for those interested in Assisted Living. During the pandemic, KBH management has upheld the highest levels of local, state and national guidelines to safeguard the health and wellness of residents, frontline nursing and support staff and first responders.
