Providence Place sits at 100 Faith Dr in Highland, Illinois, and provides both assisted living and independent living options in a friendly, home-like setting, and with 36 licensed beds, the facility keeps things at a manageable size so people can get to know their neighbors and staff, and if someone needs specialized care for Alzheimer's or dementia, the 14-bed Freedom Place section stands out for its tailored support and familiar routines that help keep things calm and safe. The staff runs things with a steady and supportive touch, offering 24-hour supervision and wake staff, so someone is always nearby for questions or help, and caregivers can step in with assistance for bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and even more complex needs like insulin injections or two-person transfers, depending on staff availability and the care plan, which is something to think about if someone has more challenging needs.
Rooms come furnished, and residents can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or semi-private suites with amenities like flat screen TVs, telephones, kitchenettes, and emergency call systems for peace of mind. Common spaces include lounges, a book room, a community kitchen, walking paths, gardens, patios, and places for social or devotional activities, which is nice for people who like to mingle or want the fresh air or a little moment of quiet. The meals at Providence Place are cooked by dedicated staff with dietitians supervising menus, so people get the food they need, and therapy services like music, pet visits, massage, and fitness activities keep each day varied while offering companionship and entertainment-plus, there's always something going on, from arts to movies, book clubs to tabletop games, and even transportation for shopping or doctor visits. People who want to keep up with their appearance can use the on-site beauty salon or barber, and those who wish to attend chapel or spiritual services have those options too.
For health concerns, Providence Place works with licensed healthcare staff for medication help, regular health checks, and skilled nursing, and the facility is wheelchair accessible and non-ambulatory friendly, which makes things easier for everyone since people age at different paces and abilities. Residents can bring along dogs or cats, join in on community activities, and enjoy a calm, safe environment, whether they need more help each day or just want a comfortable place with social opportunities, maintenance-free living, and a bit of support when it's needed. Freedom Place gives extra security and adapted activities for memory care residents, and the Faith Care Center adds another layer of support for those who need it, so families can feel steadier about the range of options. The staff speaks English and focuses on kindness and helpfulness, which does make a difference, and with supervised daily routines, regular housekeeping, and organized move-in help and community activities, Providence Place covers a lot of ground for different lifestyles and needs. Meals and activities are planned to bring people together, meet nutritional needs, and let everyone find their own way to feel at home-whether that's a stroll in the garden, a card game, or a quiet day in a private room.
