Our HistoryMontgomery Place grew from seeds of kindness planted more than 125 years ago
In 1888 Rev. Walter Delafield came to the aid of three elderly women in his Episcopal parish in Hyde Park. The women needed a place to live that could accommodate caregivers. So Father Delafield rented a home for them; others followed, and in 1915, what became The Church Home organization constructed its first residential building, for 80 adults.
In the 1980s, The Church Home purchased our current property and began construction for a new retirement community named for Episcopal Bishop (the late) James W. Montgomery. Montgomery Place began welcoming residents in October 1991.
The Church Home, affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, that provides clergy chaplains, and visiting clergy, for Montgomery Place residents and their families. Our chaplains serve people of all faith traditions — or no faith tradition — with home and hospital visits, grief counseling and support for caregivers. The Church Home also provides support to other seniors in northern Illinois.
