Stonehill Communities Acquires Windsor Park

Stonehill Communities has expanded their service offerings for older adults with the purchase of a historic Dubuque building. Stonehill Communities has acquired Windsor Park Retirement Apartments from previous owner, Joel Callahan, President of Callahan Construction, Inc.

Windsor Park Retirement Apartments, located adjacent to the Stonehill Communities campus on Windsor Avenue, is a 79-unit apartment building offering affordable senior housing.

For Stonehill, this is an opportunity to evolve and meet the growing needs of older adults in our community while remaining sustainable.

“We have to adapt, “said Peggy Stockel, Stonehill Communities President and CEO, “The field of aging services is evolving as the population ages and individuals live longer. There is a growing need for more innovative solutions to help people remain safely in their homes. Our goal is to support, connect, or provide resources that will help achieve this goal. We can be a resource for the current tenants [of Windsor Park] and support them as health needs change.”

Windsor Park was originally built by the Sisters of St. Francis as Xavier Hospital in 1947. This iconic property with deep historical roots in this community served as a hospital until 1982. In 1989 it opened as a senior living apartment building. Stonehill Communities, also founded by the Sisters of St. Francis, is pleased to take on the care of this additional piece of the Sisters’ legacy.

“Stonehill has been trusted by countless families over the years to provide compassionate care and expert service in a welcoming atmosphere. We are happy to extend that reputation and our enduring Franciscan values to the management of Windsor Park,” said Stockel.

Though renovations and updates are needed, Stonehill intends to preserve the historic style of the building. Services and amenities available to residents are also expected to remain the same, with the added benefit of coordination of health and wellness services offered at Stonehill.
