St.
Joseph's was opened in Lacon, IL in 1965, with a capacity for 50
residents. In 1968, due to demand, and additional wing (St. Francis Wing)
was added with a capacity for an additional 49 beds. The number of beds
was then reduced to increase our ability to provide other services and office
space. Currently there are a total of 93 beds available for resident care.
St.
Joseph's has established a reputation as the facility of choice in our
area. We are a
Catholic health care facility that is open to the community regardless of race,
color, creed, age, sex, national origin, handicap, or religion. We are
licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois
Department of Public Aid. We are current members in good standing of Life
Service Network, Catholic Health Care Association, and American Association of
Homes for the Aging.
In July of 2008, St. Joseph's
obtained Medicare certification for all beds in our ministry to better serve our
community.
