Overview of Concordia Village – Lutheran Senior Services

Springfield’s Concordia Village runs as both a nursing home and an assisted living community, backed by Lutheran Senior Services, a faith-based group in the senior care space. If you’re picturing the neighborhood: it’s car-dependent. Walk Score puts it at 13, so errands mean driving.

Residents get close to four hours of nursing support each day, on average, three hours and forty-nine minutes. That breaks down into categories: over an hour of registered nurse time, almost three hours with a nurse aide, and forty minutes with an LPN or LVN.

Because it’s licensed for both nursing home and assisted living care, Concordia Village can work for people at different points, someone who needs full clinical oversight, or someone who mainly needs support with daily routines like dressing or meals.

Given the staffing numbers alone, this looks like a community built around steady, daily attention to residents’ care.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Illinois

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Illinois?

Assisted living in Illinois supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Illinois?

Assisted living in Illinois is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Illinois Medicaid cover assisted living?

Illinois Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Illinois) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 382 assisted living facilities in Illinois. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Illinois?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Illinois, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Illinois?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
