New Space, Same Mission: Providence at Home Settles In
Transitions come with boxes, bubble wrap, and, sometimes, unexpected blessings. At the end of last year, the Providence at Home and Providence Hospice teams also underwent a significant move. They are now together under one roof, bringing new energy and a renewed sense of connection. When Providence first moved into the Tinley Park office decades ago, there was a flurry of activity. At one point, the team occupied a floor together. The building was bustling with their weekly education meetings, annual education sessions, and everyday chatter. Eventually,
the team moved to the second floor with the rest of the corporate staff. When the team heard about the upcoming move, the idea of relocating seemed like a huge change. It was. It was also a huge undertaking. Packing also became a way to lighten the load. As one team member put it, it was a chance to sort, simplify, and obtain a fresh start— a good purge. The process of downsizing felt like downsizing a house, a fitting analogy. It was daunting in the beginning but incredibly satisfying in the end. The new space is cleaner, brighter,
and tidier. One of the team members says, “It quickly began to feel like home.” Providence at Home is now located in a townhome at the Victorian Village campus in Homer Glen, where there’s a sense of grounded purpose. It’s more than just a physical move; it’s a new chapter. “This work setting feels more aligned with who we are and what we do,” one staff member commented. What stands out most in this transition is how our teams have grown more connected. With Providence at Home staff under one roof, communication feels more
natural. Collaboration happens organically. “It’s like being together on the 1st floor again.” Many familiar faces are still here, bringing the same flexibility, resilience, and dedication. As with any change, there’s been an adjustment period. But they’ve approached it with curiosity and care, asking ourselves important questions: How can we improve our space? How can we grow into it? The result? A reestablished rhythm, a sense of flow, and a shared understanding that we’re still living out the same mission—just in a new space that feels a little more like Home.
