St Pauls House, a Lutheran Life Community in Chicago, has opened 24 newly decorated private rooms in its first floor east wing. This section of St. Pauls House is specifically designed to offer premiere rehabilitative care and services to its guests. Each room is equipped with flat screen TV, new furniture lighting, and carpeting. The surrounding hallways have also been updated with brand new flooring, lighting, railings, and decorations. Visiting family members and friends can also enjoy comfortable, newly furnished sitting areas.  

St. Pauls rehabilitation program features a mix of traditional, tried and true rehabilitation methods, as well as progressive new options. Guests can now use It’s Never 2 Late, a computer based rehab option with a variety of programs, from brain teasers to a biking simulation. It’s Never 2 late combines games and motor skills to create an occupational therapy program that is engaging for the brain as well as the muscles. Exercise equipment at St. Pauls is designed to safely accommodate a wide range of abilities. And one-to-one therapists will help design a fitness plan that is right for the recovery of the individual.

St. Pauls House celebrated the redecorated wing with a blessing and invited neighbors and families to a celebration of thanksgiving, complete with refreshments and plenty of holiday cheer.

Said St. Pauls House Administrator Eliana Casella, “We are growing as a Lutheran Life Community, and these advancements will be an immediate blessing to residents and their families – as well as all of us those that serve them.”

The east wingis just one of many upcoming projects. Faithfully serving their Northwest Chicago community since 1921, and a Lutheran Life Community since 2007, St. Pauls House consistently pursues opportunities to enhance the comfort and wellness of residents and rehabilitation guests. Future

projects include: expanding rehabilitation options, installing Caretracker systems that enable greater efficiencies in health documentation and care, and a state of the art SARA system that provides complete community audio communication so that both staff and residents can be alerted to important events and emergency announcements.
