Hitz Memorial Home is operated as a not-for-profit nursing center related to the Illinois Southern Conference of the United Church of Christ by membership in The Council for Health and Human Service Ministries. Its management is the responsibility of a Board of Directors that consists mainly of United Church of Christ members and other community volunteers.
Hitz Memorial Home began operation as a nursing home in the fall of 1952. The original "old stately mansion" along with a legacy, was a gift of Mr. & Mrs. Adolf Hitz. A small addition was added to the house, so that it had a bed capacity of 25. Two new additions came in 1970 and 1975. The old home was then torn down, as State requirements made it impossible to continue to use the frame structure. The present capacity of the nursing home is 67 beds. The facilities’ Independent Senior Living wing has 10 apartments that were open in January 2013.
Hitz Memorial Home had its beginning because of concern for the well-being of the elderly, the sick and the infirm. Our mission is "To provide a caring community reflecting faith-based values within which residents' rights are respected and fulfilled.

We believe that as a facility and as individuals, we must be good citizens. We will fulfill our obligations toward our government and toward the community in which we work, and we encourage our employees to play a positive role in appropriate community endeavors.
Through high employee contribution and recognition we believe we can attain a standard of operations that will provide the pride, the regards, the opportunities, and the security that each of us seek.
