Elmhurst House of Friendship

Originally built in 1890 and donated to the Home for Aged Women in 1940, the Victorian-era mansion of Elmhurst House of Friendship has expanded with contemporary amenities for residents' safety and comfort while maintaining its classic charm. The house is now a four-story assisted living community that welcomes men and women alike, staffed by resident assistants, LPNs and RNs that provide 24-hour support. Its ideal neighborhood setting offers close proximity to churches, clinics and local shops, while its beautiful campus features picturesque landscaped grounds with a gazebo, front porch and patio areas, standing gardens and a private fishing platform on Wheeling Creek. All building floors have elevator access, and regular walking programs take place along hallways and garden walkways. Elmhurst's in-house Blue Sky Physical Therapy offers physician-prescribed therapy services and holds regular exercise classes.
