Providence Life Services Cuts Ribbon on Illinois Small Houses
Providence Life Services, an Illinois-based non-profit provider, held a ribbon cutting recently to celebrate the upcoming opening of three Small Houses at the Victorian Village Health and Wellness Center in Homer Glen, Ill.
The three new buildings on the Victorian Village campus are designed to house new services, including skilled nursing, memory care and rehabilitation—completing the full continuum of care at the community.
Combining professional care with a home-like setting, the Small Houses are built to resemble a single-family home. Two smaller buildings will house 10 residents each, and each individual has a private room and bathroom. Bedrooms surround an open kitchen, a library and a den.
The layout of the larger building is similar, though it includes a rehabilitation gym and will serve 30 rehab clients.
Each house, however, functions based on a universal worker: a CNA Providence calls a “Care Partner.” This staff member is trained to do an array of tasks, including laundry, meal planning and cooking and resident care. RNs will also be on staff for residents’ medical needs.
