WHEELING , IL, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Wheeling, IL – November 17, 2025 – Addolorata Villa, a Franciscan Ministries Community, today announced the completion of a comprehensive renovation and modernization of its Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center – an investment that reflects its renewed commitment to Celebrate Life and Serve with Joy and honors the enduring legacy of more than 130 years of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago.

For more than 80 years, Addolorata Villa has stood as a beacon of compassion, dignity and support for older adults throughout the northwest suburbs. The updated Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center ensures the community continues to meet the evolving needs of today’s seniors while staying rooted in Franciscan values of respect, dedication, stewardship and joy. The renovation not only enhances the physical environment but also strengthens the community’s mission of helping residents live joyfully and with purpose.

Key enhancements now complete include:
• A modern rehabilitation gym with advanced therapy equipment to support faster, more personalized recovery
• Updated dining and hospitality spaces that elevate mealtime experiences and foster connection, nourishment and community
• Upgraded clinical areas and nurse stations designed for excellence, efficiency, and seamless care delivery
• Warm, inviting common areas inspired by Franciscan Ministries’ “Living Joyfully” culture, promoting comfort, engagement and spiritual well-being

“With this renovation complete, we are not simply opening new spaces, we are renewing our promise to every resident and family we serve,” said Regina Umanskiy, President and CEO of Franciscan Ministries. “Guided by the spirit of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago, this project reflects our deep commitment to serving with joy, compassion and excellence. It reinforces our belief that every person deserves to live with purpose, dignity and the support of a caring community.”

The revitalized Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was purposefully designed to nurture healing for short-term rehabilitation guests and providing a comforting, uplifting home for long-term care residents. From the enhanced therapeutic environment to the renewed focus on resident engagement and personalized service, every detail reinforces an atmosphere of hope, purpose and joy.

“We are honored to offer a beautifully reimagined space that truly embodies what it means to live joyfully,” said Dawn Cohn, Executive Director at Addolorata Villa. “These enhancements uplift the daily experience for residents and empower our dedicated associates to continue delivering exceptional, mission-driven care in a setting that reflects our values.”

The completion of this project is part of Franciscan Ministries’ ongoing investment in its communities and its long-standing tradition of reinvesting in environments, programs and services that embody the mission and values of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago.
