The Piatt County Nursing Home Foundation supports the tradition of quality living for older adults served by the Nursing Home, its outreach programs and Maple Point. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation established in 1986 for the purpose of receiving and administering gifts to the Nursing Home and its programs.
Donations to the Piatt County Nursing Home Foundation provide equipment, capital improvements, enhancements and “extras” for the direct benefit of residents. You can help the Foundation by contributing to the Annual Giving Program, donating through the Planned Giving Program or making a general donation.
The Foundation is dedicated to improving, maintaining, enhancing and broadening the services and programs of Piatt County Nursing Home for the benefit of older adults.

Tree of Caring
The Tree of Caring sculpture is a permanent tribute to those friends who have shown exemplary generosity to Piatt County Nursing Home. The Tree of Caring may also pay tribute to those whom you wish to honor, or as a remembrance to loved ones.
You can provide a visual expression of your support for Piatt County Nursing Home’s caring mission by having your name or memorial permanently engraved on a “leaf” or “stone” on the Tree of Caring.
Gifts of $500 (brass), $1,000 (silver) or $2,500 (copper) are recognized with an engraved “leaf.” Gifts of $5,000 (contributor) or $10,000 (benefactor) are recognized on a “stone” at the base of the tree.
For additional information, please call 217-762-6662.
Caring Angel Employee Recognition Program
Did someone at Piatt County Nursing Home or Maple Point go above and beyond and make a difference for you or your family member? You can pay tribute to that person who made your healthcare experience special. When you make a donation to the Caring Angel Program in his or her honor, your Angel will receive a Caring Angel lapel pin to wear with pride each day. We will keep the dollar amount of your gift confidential, and we will send an acknowledgement letter announcing that you have named the person as a Caring Angel who has made a difference.
Your gift will be used to support programs and services that will make a difference in the lives of both the residents and their caregivers.
For questions or additional information, please call 217-762-6662.
The Pedal Pushers
The Pedal Pushers is a program that began in 2018 and is sponsored by the Piatt County Nursing Home Foundation. Our trained volunteers offer bike rides to individuals of all ages in the specialty bicycles that allow a passenger to sit in the front and enjoy the view while the volunteer does the pedaling.
The residents of both Maple Point Supportive Living and the Piatt County Nursing Home have the opportunity to take bike rides every week between spring and fall. Families of residents are encouraged to call 217-762-6662 to schedule a ride with their loved ones. It’s a great way to have a little fun and spend some quality time together.
Connecting seniors of Piatt County with volunteers who are dedicated to offering a wonderful outdoor experience has helped bridge relationships between generations and offers an opportunity to both volunteer and resident to develop new friendships. It is the Piatt County Nursing Home Foundations goal to offer these rides to anyone in Piatt County, but especially senior citizens. If you are interested in supporting this program through your volunteer hours, your donation dollars or by taking a ride with a loved one please contact Stacy at 217-762-6662 or email s.cribbs@piattcountynursinghome.org for more information. In 2023 donors supported an extension to the Pedal Pusher program, inspired by a volunteer, called Sweet Treats. Volunteers can now offer their riders a visit to Dairy Queen or The Main Scoop to get a sweet treat to enjoy while they are out for their ride. Volunteers and residents alike are enjoying these special moments together. Donations to the Piatt County Nursing Home Foundation make moments like these possible
