OSF Holy
Family Medical Center Long-term Care Unit is your home for
long-term care in a hospital setting. It is home to two types of
guests: Long-term Care residents and Respite Care visitors.
 Long-term
Care
OSF Holy Family Medical Center Long-term Care residents reside within
the unit on a long-term basis. We have a total of 45 beds for long-term
care residents who need assistance with their daily living skills.
Our goal for the long-term care resident is to provide the care
and treatment necessary for each person to live as full and independent
a life as his or her condition allows in a homelike environment.
Respite
Care
OSF Holy Family Medical Center
Respite Care visitors come for a temporary stay while the family
caregiver takes a break. Respite breaks offer the caregiver the
opportunity to revitalize their energies and can strengthen a family’s
ability to care for the family member at home. The length of a respite
visit can vary from a couple of days to a few weeks.
We would be
delighted to give you a tour of our facility. For additional information
or to arrange a visit to the OSF Holy Family Long-term Care Facility, call 309-734-1408.
We will be happy to explain our services to you and perhaps provide
care for you or a loved one.
We are Licensed
by Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
