Carle Foundation Hospital Auxiliary Guest House

The Carle Auxiliary and The Carle Foundation built the Guest House to provide a "home away from home" for families of hospitalized patients. The Guest House features 12 bedrooms with private baths, a comfortable living room, communal kitchen, dining room and laundry facilities. Two of the rooms are ADA compliant. Other features include direct phone lines to key Carle departments, computer access and elevators. The House is staffed 24 hours a day by a resident caretaker. The Auxiliary also plays an important hospitality role, making guests comfortable and assisting them with personal needs.

The traditional-style two-story home  sits on two lots with adjacent parking. The location is at the corner of Orchard and Church, with a view of Crystal Lake Park and the fastest possible access to the Hospital.

The Carle Foundation Hospital Auxiliary has a long history of serving Carle patients and staff with both service and financial contributions. They made an initial contribution of $100,000 to the project, and assume the annual operating costs of the House.
