Lewis Memorial Christian Village

Overview of Lewis Memorial Christian Village

Hickory Point Christian Village, Inc. runs Lewis Memorial Christian Village on a 19-acre, faith-led campus in Springfield, Illinois. The property covers a wide span of care: independent living, assisted living, long-term nursing, and a short-term rehab track called Gracepoint. Residents live across patio townhomes and apartments, and with 171 residents at 74.3 percent occupancy, this is a sizable operation built to run more than one kind of care at once.

Stays here average about 82 days, a number that tells a specific story. It’s short enough to reflect a real population of residents cycling through Gracepoint for recovery after surgery or illness, not just settling in for the long term. Backing that up, the nursing team, registered nurses, LPNs, and aides together, logs roughly 2 hours and 25 minutes of direct care per resident each day. Speech, physical, occupational, and respiratory therapists work on-site too, so a resident recovering from a stroke or a hip replacement doesn’t need to leave campus for a session.

The surrounding area scores a 13 on walkability, which is about as car-dependent as it gets. Don’t plan on walking to a nearby hospital or church; bring a car.

On the regulatory side, state inspection records show recurring attention to fall and injury prevention, dietary and food service, and how the facility plans and documents resident care. What they show here is a facility juggling a lot: long-term residents, short-term rehab patients, and the daily logistics of keeping both populations safe and fed. That’s the real shape of Lewis Memorial Christian Village: a large, faith-rooted campus doing double duty as both a nursing home and a recovery center, on a Springfield lot you’ll need a car to reach.
