Report: Senior Care Facility Shutdown in Illinois Cuts 117 Jobs

There's a new notice that's reportedly been submitted to the state of Illinois that would result in a mass layoff, if accurate. It reveals that a senior care facility plans to close which will mean 117 staff positions would be eliminated.

I saw this new report on the Illinois Work Net Center site that showed a new WARN notice just filed with the state. It shows that Woodstock Christian Life Services located 920 and 928 N Seminary Avenue in Woodstock, Illinois plans to close resulting in a layoff of 117 workers. I reached out directly to the facility myself by phone, but the receptionist I spoke with would not comment and my call was directed to voicemail. Here are the details as provided by Illinois Work Net Center. The notice shows layoffs to begin on September 30, 2025.

The GuideStar website shows that Woodstock Christian Life Services operates under the name Hearthstone Communities at the addresses above.

I've attempted to learn if staff layoffs are permanent and if closure report is accurate and what that would mean for residents who live there. If I receive comment back from the facility, I'll update this article with more details as this is a developing story.
