Ensuring Comfort and Community

50 Years of Compassionate Care
In 1959, Henry Vonderlieth and his wife, Jane, visited Mount Pulaski and shared their plan to form the Henry and Jane Vonderlieth Trust to build a community hospital following their passing. Mount Pulaski was quick to accept The Vonderlieth’s offer but learned from the State of Illinois that a hospital in Mount Pulaski wasn’t feasible. Instead of giving up on the plan to provide a valuable community asset, Mr. Vonderlieth worked with Mr. Harry Wible and determined that what was really needed was a nursing home.
From Vision to Reality
Thus the Henry & Jane Vonderlieth Living Center opened on October 21, 1973. Since then, additional residential rooms were constructed in 1976, and a therapy room and an activity room were added in 1998. Vonderlieth Living Center has gone on to serve over 2,400 residents since opening 50 years ago and continues the same legacy of providing expert care to the residents of Mount Pulaski and its surrounding communities.
Join the Vonderlieth Foundation with gifts that foster quality healthcare for generations to come.

Our Board of Directors
Today, our board of directors continues to manage the Vonderlieth Trust. Their expert financial foresight and business experience continue to ensure that our community exceeds the rigorous standards of long-term care excellence.
