Caring for the whole person
It has always been the mission of the Sisters of St. Francis to care for the whole spectrum of human needs, including physical, social, emotional and spiritual. Each resident is encouraged to live as fruitfully and independently as his or her condition permits.

A loving Christian atmosphere contributes to the spirit of dignity and respect that is felt by both residents and visitors.

The Sisters live on-site, and are on-call at all times.

A home-like atmosphere
St. Joseph's Home offers two residency options: sheltered care (retirement living) and intermediate care (24-hour nursing).

• Sheltered care rooms are spacious private or semi-private rooms, most with bathrooms.
• The intermediate care facilities include semi-private rooms in the 1925 building and eleven rooms in the Round Building, a cheerful, safe and secure living area for those with dementia.

Residents are encouraged to add personal touches such as a favorite chair, lamps, pictures and television.

Buffet Dining
Three healthful meals a day with a choice of entrees are served buffet-style in newly remodeled dining rooms under supervision of a certified dietary supervisor.

Housekeeping
A full-time staff of housekeepers takes care of all household chores and upholds the Home's longstanding reputation for cleanliness.

Resident care
All residents remain under the care of their personal physician. Professional nurses and certified nursing assistants provide around-the-clock care.

Licensing
St. Joseph's Home is licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health and is in good standing.
