Long-term care design focuses on resident privacy

Joliet, IL-based facility offers all residents private rooms


Unless they request it, residents at Joliet, Ill.-based Sunny Hill Nursing Home will no longer have to share a room, according to an article on the McKnight's website.

The ongoing renovation project, estimated at $31 million through December 2016, is part of a growing industry trend.
