Northwest Article Posted 6/2/15 about Shepherd Residential Care of Ringwood being First Shared Housing Establishment in McHenry County


RINGWOOD – A house in Ringwood soon will be converted into a small senior living facility as part of an elderly care concept new to McHenry County. Eyeing a July opening, McHenry-based Shepherd Residential Care will start renovations of about $180,000 to the house at 6809 Barnard Mill Road in Ringwood, said Shepherd president Brandon Schwab. The refurbished home will house eight seniors who will receive aroundthe-clock health care, meals and other services, Schwab said. Unlike larger elderly care institutions, Shepherd’s approach provides patients with personalized care and attention, he said. “It provides one-on-one care,” Schwab said. “It gives [caretakers] the ability to get personal with each person because they don’t have as many people to care for. The level of care ... is drastically a better quality of care.” The state defines assisted living facilities as a home that cares for more than 17 seniors, according to Shepherd Residential Care. An organization below that threshold is defined as a shared-housing establishment. The recently approved project in Ringwood gives the county its first shared-housing establishment, Schwab said. Other nearby cities with similar concepts include Elgin, Gurnee and St. Charles, he said. The group’s renovation budget will convert the Ringwood home into seven bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms. The refurbished home also will feature a full-service kitchen and 900 square feet devoted to a library, activity and family visitor rooms. Schwab said he expects to start the renovations soon, as the Ringwood Village Board approved the group’s conditional use permit on a 5-1 vote last week. The village’s zoning board earlier placed 14 conditions on the project, including a limit on the number of seniors and a requirement that puts a professional caregiver inside the facility at all times.
