Discovery Village Des Plaines

Discovery is a very friendly community with nice people. My apartment is spacious and reasonable. I enjoy the meals and chats with the Director of Dining Services. I would recommend Discovery Village!

I love living at Discovery Village

I have recently moved into Discovery Village and I have found my home. Leaving my old house was tough, but the peace of mind and freedom I've found here are worth it. The staff members and residents are friendly, kind and caring. I would recommend Discovery Village Des Plaines.

Discovery Village was sold and renamed about a year ago. It has been redecorated and refreshed in all public areas in the last few months and is lovely and updated in all the public areas .
