Odd Fellow Home is a longstanding care community that has been providing dignity, care, and warmth since 1889. It serves individuals who are frail, disabled, elderly, or terminally ill, offering a range of health care and supportive services. The heart of the mission at Odd Fellow Home is to enhance and nurture the autonomy and dignity of each individual while supporting their spiritual, physical, psychological, social, and emotional well-being. The organization demonstrates a deep commitment to a person-centered approach—valuing each person’s uniqueness, respecting their innate dignity, encouraging the support of family, and fostering a positive environment for both residents and staff.
The care provided at Odd Fellow Home is holistic, with a keen emphasis on total well-being. This means responding to more than just medical needs, but addressing emotional and social aspects as well. The environment is designed to feel like home, with a strong encouragement for residents and tenants to enjoy the lighter side of life. Residents are empowered to participate in decisions regarding their care, supporting independence while ensuring that all assistance needed is provided with professionalism and compassion.
The Odd Fellow Home campus includes an 88-bed skilled nursing facility, which is strategically situated near clinics and two area hospitals in the historic Astor neighborhood. Continuing rehabilitation is a priority here, with physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy provided by dedicated and specially trained restorative nursing staff. This team is committed not only to helping residents achieve their goals but also to maintaining hard-earned accomplishments, so that every person can continue to function at their highest possible level of independence.
In addition to skilled nursing care, Odd Fellow Home features 20 private apartments designed to encourage resident independence. These living spaces are ideal for individuals who require assistance with daily living, offering both privacy and personal support as needed. The staff at Odd Fellow Home assists with all aspects of daily life, aiming to maximize each individual's self-sufficiency while ensuring comfort and safety. The community takes pride in its warm, home-like atmosphere, where family involvement is highly valued, and each resident is treated with the respect and care they deserve.
