Saint Anthony's Health Center moved one step closer to establishing Saint Clare's Villa this week.
Plans call for complete renovation of the facility's upper floors into studio and one-bedroom units.
The Health Center recently completed a Supportive Living Program application through the Illinois Department of Public Aid, which will help finance a portion of services offered to Villa residents. Overlooking the Mississippi River, Saint Clare's Villa is designed for individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living. A centralized dining area serving three meals each day to the residents will be featured. An activity room and laundry facilities will also be available. Transportation will be provided for outside group activities and to residents' physician appointments.
