A Second Decade of Service
Celebrating our 50th anniversary of ministry this year has given us
the opportunity to leaf through our archives, poring over sepia-toned
photographs and purpled mimeograph pages. What comes to light,
over and over again, is a spirit of adventure and problem-solving.
That spirit helped launch this ministry in the first place, as described
in Issue 1 of this special newsletter series, which focused on our first
decade of ministry, the 1960s. (If you did not receive that issue, you can view it
Mrs. Birdie Snyder, RN, was

staff at Providence of Palos
Heights during the 1970s.
During her tenure, the facility

In the early 1970s, America was rocked by the oil embargo of 1973. Our
country’s demand for energy was swelling, and international pressures
limited supplies. Long lines and rationing caused hardships and a shift
in the way our nation thought about energy and oil.
During this same decade, Providence also recognized a shortage — a
shortage of room to care for all the seniors who needed the services we
could provide. To address these expanding needs, we chose to expand
rather than limit our vision. The 1970s marked not only an expansion

Celebrating 50 Years of Ministry
The timeline running throughout this
newsletter highlights events from our
second decade of ministry, the 1970s.
In fact, we’re devoting each newsletter
this year to a single decade, so look for the
1980s in the next issue!
Throughout this anniversary year, we’re trying
to create a sense of community and celebration.

More than 1,000 people gathered to support this ministry at
the tenth-anniversary Torchlight. This is the first year “How
Great Thou Art” was sung as the closing song.

of these new enterprises were
completely full — with a waiting list — from the day
they opened. In fact, there was also a waiting list of
people who wanted to work at Rest Haven or Holland
Home, indicating the earnest interest in personal
involvement with this kind of ministry.

A History
of Working
Together
In a 1970 issue of the
Rest Haven News,
Administrator
Rich Mulder wrote,
“During this past
decade, our Rest Haven

has quadrupled and still
carries a waiting list. Our Holland Home (in
Roseland), with a capacity of 130 beds also carries
a waiting list. We are standing right in the middle
of an exploding senior citizen population. Is there
something that we as a church should be doing about
it? Do we have a responsibility? Do we have the
resources? If we have the resources, can we get hold
of them, funnel them, direct them?”
He continued by answering the question, “Your combined
Rest Haven and Holland Home Board say, ‘Yes.’ Therefore, preliminaries are now being drawn for a six-story
unit with a capacity of 300 beds.”
But perhaps most interesting is the closing paragraph of
Mr. Mulder’s article: “This is another herculean task, and
we need you. In Proverbs we read, ‘In the multitude of
counselors there is wisdom.’ Will you share with us your
comments, your prayers, your enthusiasm?”
Mr. Mulder’s 1970 article captures the spirit that has
always been part of our ministry culture. Recognizing
a need, we set about meeting it — in community with
fellow Christians, and in harmony with God’s leading.
The response at that time was dramatic. Our archives
reveal generous gifts of cash, checks, bequests, and land,
as well as enthusiastic participation in bake sales,
Fall Festivals, and Torchlight dinners.
In a January 1972 newsletter, Mr. Mulder reported,
“Because of your continued faithfulness and warm
generosity, hope is perpetuated. Gifts received
through Wills, Memorials, Churches, Auxiliary,

Torchlight, and general mailings have made it possible
for us to continue with needed expansion and meet
our debt retirement schedule.” By early 1973, the new
Holland Home was not only constructed, it was full.
Today this ministry
we share continues
to rely on that spirit
of harmony and
community. And we
continue to believe that
the response will be no
less dramatic. Because we
know that the Providence
family is committed to
providing Christian care
for generations to come.
When your parents need help today (or tomorrow),
Providence will be there. And when your children
need to provide care for you, we want to make sure
Providence is there then too.
So we continue to offer the same variety of
convenient partnership options, and we continue
to welcome any other creative gifts the Providence
family comes up with!

construction begins.
Consider these forms of giving, which can bless both
giver and receiver, now and in the future:
= Simple bequests: designate a gift in your will and bless
others for years to come
= Charitable trusts: choose a charitable, nonprofit ministry
as a beneficiary
= Gift annuities: enter an annuity agreement with Provi-
dence, and a fixed annuity will be paid to you, or whomever you choose, each year for as long as you live.
= Major designated gifts: cash, real estate, stocks, insurance,
401(k), and securities can all be a blessing to people who
need your help
Fifty years ago, churches and Christians who joined
the cause did not realize their financial contributions
would ignite five decades of innovative service. And
it’s just as hard to predict what your contributions
today might achieve. But the future of this ministry
begins today, and now is a new opportunity to step
into the story of Providence. Contact Bill Buikema or

The Future Begins Today
From the very beginning, this ministry has been about not only meeting needs, but also exceeding hopes. Rich
Mulder, who toured existing nursing homes in the 1950s, responded by saying, “Our people deserve better than
this!” Out of that vision, a ministry was born, the first licensed Christian nursing home in the Chicago area.
That unwillingness to settle for “good enough,” that commitment to excellence and innovation, that Godly
belief that “people deserve better” — all continue to drive our ministry decisions. And fueled by the prayers
and partnership of fellow Christians who share this passion for meeting our world’s needs in the name of a
compassionate Christ, we continue to see possibilities and turn them into reality.
AFFORDABLE CARE ON A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS
Village Woods Supportive Living
Our visionary solution to the problem of an aging building includes not only a
new building in the same location, but also a Supportive Living license that will
allow us to provide care at rates affordable to our population. Constructing this
new building specifically to meet care needs, will be a better stewardship decision
than trying to renovate the existing building, and it will continue to be a centerpiece
for the Crete campus.

Glen, Illinois, is to develop a group of cottages providing 30 private rooms for
rehab, and 2 groups of 10 private rooms for skilled care and memory/dementia support. Providence Life Services has received a license for a certificate of need, and we
can use it to provide one of the first “Small Houses” in Illinois. We have 12 months
to get the funding and begin construction before our certificate expires. continue

about the new
Holland Home.
The need today is greater than ever before. In 1960,
when we opened our first Christian nursing home
in the area, the concept was new, and people didn’t
know what to expect. But after they saw the possibilities and experienced the difference, they would never
be satisfied with anything less. Rest Haven had not
only met the existing need, but had created a whole
new standard of expectation!
Today, people still want quality, Christian care.
And since we are living longer, more of us are taking
advantage of that care, for greater lengths of time —
often to the point where savings are depleted.
Each year the ministry of Providence Life Services
provides significant assistance to residents whose
resources have run out. Today’s economic challenges
are particularly severe — not only have funds diminished in value, but also this age group has less time to
recover their investment loss. continue

The Heart of Our Mission, continued
This ministry we share is built on a solid history of
Christian faith in action. The Providence family is
made up of people with a variety of resources and a
variety of needs. As we have throughout our ministry
history, we continue to communicate with the greater
Providence family, giving people opportunities to
match needs with resources.
We offer a variety of giving opportunities. In particular,
planned gifts — gifts from estates, bequests, or
gift annuities — not only assist us in caring for
residents, but also provide a foundation of funding
to maintain our campuses, provide educational
growth for our staff, and allow us to continually
research and implement new programs and care
models for our residents.
Last year, this ministry gave
away nearly $7,000,000
in care that will not be
reimbursed under Illinois’
Medicaid reimbursement
rate. This trend has been steadily
increasing and is now unsustainable.

New Faces,
Same Hearts
Kaci Anderson doesn’t know much about the original
Holland Home that started in 1914. And she wasn’t
even born yet when the Holland Home opened its
new, six-story building in South Holland, Illinois,
in 1973. She’s a newer member of the
Providence family, but she embodies the same spirit of caring that has
characterized this mission throughout our history. Kaci is a Dietary
Aide and Nursing Aide at today’s
Holland Home.
She’s been there three years, and she loves her job.
“I like to do extra for them,” she says about the people
she serves each day. “When they’re feeling down, I like
to help them see the brighter side of life. When they
need help, I like to be there for them.”
She recalls a simple act in the dining room: a resident

New Faces, Same Hearts continued
Kaci opened it for her. “Thank you, Dearheart,” the
resident told Kaci and kissed her on the hand.
“It was such a small thing,” says Kaci, still astonished,
“but it meant so much to her. Sometimes that’s all
it takes.”
But Kaci’s supervisors and co-workers know that her
acts of kindness are not limited to “the small things.”
They cite examples of time spent after hours or on
days off, visiting Holland Home residents who are
receiving rehab at the neighboring Providence
Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center. “I don’t have
any statistical data
to prove it, but I like
to think that her visits
improve their recovery
rates!” says Community
Manager Deana Wilson,
“I do know the residents
appreciate it.”
Holland Home has always
been blessed with good
people who love serving.
Kaci doesn’t think her
attitude or performance
is anything special. She
feels like she gets as
much joy out of each interaction as she gives. Her coworkers, though, wanted her to know how much they
appreciate her. Last year Kaci was nominated
to attend the annual
Hallmark of Caring,
which celebrates
the best of the best
employees at each

Same Caring
Under cloudy November skies, the threat of rain,
and a brisk wind, members of the Rest Haven family
gathered to break ground for a new healthcare
community. The year was 1975, and Board Chairman Peter Vanderploeg explained, “The extensive
waiting lists at Rest Haven and the Holland Home
cannot be ignored. These lists represent urgent needs,
human needs, people who have been created in the
image of God, our fathers and mothers, and they
deserve our maximum respect and dignity.”

The location is the same, and the caring spirit is the
same, but our commitment to quality demands that
we continually offer new services to make sure we are
able to meet new needs.
For example, Providence of South Holland recently
added the following services:

our site, in addition to visits from residents’ physicians.
Two years later, Rest Haven
South opened its doors to
meet those urgent, human
needs with quality,
