ABOUT US

Compassionate care, rooted in a 180-year legacy.

Providence Health Care is a skilled nursing facility located on the beautiful campus of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, sponsored by the Sisters of Providence — who have been part of the Terre Haute community since 1840. It is our goal to provide more than short-term rehab, long-term care, assisted living, and outpatient therapy: it is our mission to create a genuine healing experience for every resident and family who enters our community.

We provide 5-star care in a serene, homelike environment that encourages healing for the mind and spirit along with the body — honoring the dignity and worth of every individual we serve.

Testimonials

Families trust us with the people they love most.

I had three weeks of recovery at Providence after 5 weeks in hospitals. The staff, care and environment were absolutely excellent. And the food was very good. Providence stands out in the Qual and care of its staff, and also in the size of the staff. I left much healthier than I entered. The whole atmosphere reflects the high standards of the Sisters of Providence.

My parents have recently needed to have rehab. They were able to go to Providence Health Care in the Woods. With the caring staff and the nutrition as well as wonderful rehab, they were able to get back on their feet and live their best life. Our family is so thankful for Providence Health Care and their staff.
