Hope
House, a 16-bed home, is located in Arcola. We truly
enjoy Arcola’s unique, small town charm with
its many small stores, shops, Amish restaurants,
its annual Broomcorn and Raggedy Ann and Andy festivals,
and beautiful Rockome Gardens. With so much offered
in this small community, we always have several
fun activities from which to choose. Hope House
was established in 1988, and many of the people
who currently live at Hope House moved in when it
first opened. We drive the short distance to Charleston
to take advantage of the numerous day training programs
offered in that community. We also travel the thirty
miles or so to Champaign-Urbana where we enjoy shopping,
dining, and the many cultural and sporting events
that the University of Illinois offers. We are happy
to talk with anyone about our beloved Illini sports
teams! Almost every Thursday evening many of us
travel a short distance to another small town to
play bingo. This is usually the highlight of our
week and something that we all look forward to.
We get excited when someone in our Hope House family
wins. Hope House’s major social event of the
year is the Christmas party. Our friends and family,
as well as employees and their families join us
to for the annual event of exchanging gifts, singing
seasonal carols, and of course eating some great
food. Hope House is proud of having many long-term
employees, with some current employees providing
supports and services for the past ten to fifteen
years. We enjoy each other, and we enjoy our home
and community. We are truly a family which has fostered
strong bonds and relationships among all the persons
living in the home and our supportive staff
