Saint Luke's Home
Independent Living with 24-hour Assistance
If you or a loved one need assistance with the activities of daily living yet don’t require the services of a skilled nursing facility, Saint Luke’s Home may be an ideal choice.
As a residential care facility – also called a rest home – Saint Luke’s Home provides the best of both worlds. Our residents can enjoy their independence, and they have the structure and reassurance of around-the-clock assistance from a professional nursing and support staff, if they need it.
We also offer respite care for elders, providing temporary relief for their regular caregivers.
What Saint Luke’s Home is Like
Located in Springfield’s beautiful historic district, Saint Luke’s Home is a real home for its residents. The grounds include lovely gardens that the residents help to maintain.
Inside, all rooms are private, and residents may decorate them with personal items and furniture, or use furnishings we provide. A spacious activity area and large dining room provide areas for socializing with fellow residents, and a serene chapel offers a quiet space and time for devotion and reflection.
With its urban location, Saint Luke’s home is within walking distance of libraries, museums, churches, parks and shops – enabling residents to take advantage of the many resources the city has to offer.
