Covenant Home Adds Skilled Nursing Partners

CHICAGO, IL (June 4, 2002) - Covenant Home of Chicago, located on West Foster Avenue, has partnered with Chicago-area providers to offer skilled nursing care to Covenant Home residents.

Covenant Home is a 50-unit assisted living residence located near Swedish Covenant Hospital. Since the 1970s Covenant Home has provided skilled nursing care on the fifth floor of Swedish Covenant Hospital's Anderson Pavilion. To enable the hospital to use the fifth-floor location to expand its services, Covenant Home pursued alternative service options, evaluating local community needs to determine how best to serve the area as a licensed assisted living community.

To make certain that future skilled nursing care will be available to its residents, Covenant Home established partnerships with local skilled nursing providers. One partner, The Methodist Home, is located just west of Covenant Home on Foster Avenue. It is a division of United Methodist Homes & Services.

Covenant Retirement Communities, the parent company of Covenant Home, also will provide services through its network of retirement communities, including three continuing care retirement communities in the Chicago area.

Both Methodist Home and Covenant Retirement Communities will provide rehabilitative care, intermediate nursing care, skilled nursing care and specialized Alzheimer's care.

Covenant Home of Chicago is administered by Covenant Retirement Communities, Inc., on behalf of the Board of Benevolence of the Evangelical Covenant Church. For more information, contact Covenant Home of Chicago at 773-506-6900.
