The Heart of our Mission —
meeting needs with future planning

From the very beginning, this ministry has been about not only meeting needs, but also exceeding hopes. Rich Mulder, who toured existing nursing homes in the 1950s, responded by saying, “Our people deserve better than this!” Out of that vision, a ministry was born, the first licensed Christian nursing home in the Chicago area.

That unwillingness to settle for “good enough,” that commitment to excellence and innovation, that Godly belief that “people deserve better” — all continue to drive our ministry decisions. And fueled by the prayers and partnership of fellow Christians who share this passion for meeting our world’s needs in the name of a compassionate Christ, we continue to see possibilities and turn them into reality.

Affordable Care on a Beautiful Campus
Village Woods Supportive Living
Located in Crete, Illinois

Our visionary solution to the problem of an aging building includes not only a new building in the same location, but also a Supportive Living license that will allow us to provide care at rates affordable to our population. Constructing this new building specifically to meet care needs will be a better stewardship decision than trying to renovate the existing building. And the new structure will continue to be a centerpiece for the Crete campus. For more information about this exciting new Providence Supportive Living Vision, ask for Don Engelsman at (708) 342-8100.

Quality Christian care in a Radical New Setting
Victorian Village “Small House”
Located in Homer Glen, Illinois

Our innovative solution to the problem of meeting skilled care needs in Homer Glen, Illinois, is to develop a group of cottages where care can be provided in a home-like setting. The main “Small House” will offer 30 private rooms for people receiving rehab. Two other Small Houses will each offer 10 private rooms for people who need skilled care and memory/dementia support. Providence Life Services has received a license for a certificate of need, and we can use it to provide one of the first Small Houses in Illinois. We have 12 months to get the funding and begin construction before our certificate expires. For more information about this exciting new Providence Small House way of living, ask for Don Engelsman at (708) 342-8100.

Future Opportunities
Land Donation
Located in St. John, Indiana

A generous donation of land within The Gates of St. John will make it possible for Providence Life Services to expand the care and services we offer. In some cases, land donations are used as the setting for new communities and programs; in other situations, they help assure funding for long-term care or other needs. We look forward to following the visions God inspires, so that we can continue to respond in His name to the needs of the people we serve!
