Hearthstone Village is a warm, welcoming community that has been serving seniors in Woodstock since 1903. Over the years, Hearthstone has continually evolved to meet the needs of its residents, offering a full spectrum of care on its picturesque campus. As a longstanding part of the Woodstock community, Hearthstone Village provides a comprehensive array of living options tailored to support residents through each stage of aging, allowing them to age in place with minimal disruption to their important routines, relationships, and social activities.
Independent living at Hearthstone Village is designed for those aged 55 and older who desire comfort and maintenance-free living. Residents can choose from beautifully updated duplexes, including the popular Garden and Prairie Home rentals, both available for a competitive monthly rate. These homes allow seniors to enjoy the ease of independent living while having access to a variety of amenities and services that foster a vibrant, engaging lifestyle. Hearthstone’s proximity to downtown Woodstock provides additional opportunities for residents to remain connected to the broader community.
The breadth of amenities at Hearthstone Village ensures that every aspect of daily life is supported. On-site restaurant-style dining is available in multiple dining rooms, including both Hearthstone Village and The Manor, where residents enjoy three healthy, home-cooked meals each day, meticulously crafted to meet diverse dietary needs. Social and recreational spaces abound, including a hair salon, activities room, exercise gym, and numerous outdoor areas such as a screened-in porch, several patios, walking paths, and a serene courtyard pond. For spiritual enrichment, Hearthstone offers a chapel and reflection rooms, along with Bible study and worship services. Safety remains a priority, with each resident provided with an emergency call system and supportive staff available whenever needed.
Those who need additional assistance can transition seamlessly to the assisted living apartments at Hearthstone Village, with choices of studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts. These apartments feature around-the-clock support that can be tailored and adjusted as the individual's needs evolve. For more advanced needs, skilled nursing care is provided at The Manor at The Mary and Carl Mueller Rehabilitation Center, where a devoted healthcare team – including registered nurses, practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants – address the holistic needs of each resident. Memory care is thoughtfully offered within the dedicated Traditions wing at The Manor, a comforting and secure space designed for those living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Unique to Hearthstone Communities is the on-campus Early Learning Center (ELC), which fosters intergenerational connections by bringing children ages 6 weeks to 12 years into the daily rhythm of community life. Through carefully curated activities such as show and tell, arts and crafts, singing, drama, exercise, and cooking, children and seniors form meaningful bonds that enrich both generations. Respite Care is also available at Hearthstone at every level of care, offering families and caregivers an opportunity for much-needed rest while ensuring loved ones continue to receive attentive support.
Hearthstone Village operates from a foundation of strong values: respect for human dignity, excellence in all endeavors, acceptance of every person, compassion for all, and honesty above all else. This ethos permeates every aspect of life in the community, reflected in attentive care, purposeful activities, and a dedication to offering hope, healing, and meaningful living for older adults and children alike. Hearthstone Village stands as a unique, value-centered community providing a true sense of home for its residents.
