In 1939 the Adorers of the Blood of Christ
opened the First Catholic home for the elderly in the Diocese of Lincoln.<\/h5>
The home of Joseph Schramek was remodeled to accommodate 14 guests.
The first guests arrived in October.
Soon there were more requests for admissions than could be accepted.<\/h5>
For 20 years the Sisters maintained the nursing home.
In 1960 the Sisters were faced with a dilemma.
The Sisters felt that the building no longer was adequately equipped to provide a high standard of care.
The home needed extensive renovations or would have to be closed.
In December of 1964, the Sisters saw 22 residents find other housing for the elderly .<\/h5><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 1964, a Villa Development committee announced a
fundraising campaign for expansion and reopening of the Villa.
A 44-bed facility reopened in the Spring of 1967.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

housekeeping, a classroom, quilting room for volunteers,
maintenance workshop and storage for guest’s personal items was completed.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Another addition to the Villa occurred in 1985,
with the construction of the Chapel.
The Chapel has two-person pews for ease of the Villa
residents and is used for Protestant services and Catholic Mass.<\/h5><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To further its mission the Villa created an Alzheimer’s
and Related Dementia Special Care Unit in 1998.
The new unit named St. Therese’s Garden is a secure, self-contained area
that provides residents specialized care in a homelike environment.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In June of 2000, St. Joseph’s Court, a 22 apartment assisted living complex
was connected the Villa, which eliminated
one resident room making the bed capacity of St. Joseph’s Villa to 64 beds.
2009 updating included a new ramp entrance.
2012 brought more changes as the therapy room
and activity areas were developed.
In 2014 Geothermal heating and cooling
were added to the Villa, allowing residents to control heat and cooling
in their rooms.
In 2016 eight more private rooms were created
and existing private rooms were updated.
The capacity of St. Joseph’s Villa is currently 58 beds.
In 2021, St. Joseph’s Board of Directors took over ownership of the Villa and Court.\u00a0<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
