The Villa Camillus

- a serene world where life is rich, age is beautiful, and the individual has dignity  
- a unique nursing center where the feeling is of home and the people are like family Orchid
- where nursing care is as it should be

A Warm Intimate Feeling

You'll find us in a wooded rural area, like a country Tudor estate, away from orange skies and screeching neon forests.

This is a place for living - with oriental rugs, paneled walls, stained glass windows, and an Elizabethan-style fireplace. There is even the soothing aroma of home cooking wafting through the halls. Man with child

The feeling is human here, not institutional. In fact, The Villa Camillus is more like a gracious private home - an intimate, yet elegant facility where special people receive special care.

A Dedication to the Beauty and Dignity of Life

Although we are not a religious facility, we have dedicated our work to St. Camillus, a saint who devoted his life to treating the sick and aged with respect, humanity and love. This philosophy guides us in everything we do.

We at The Villa Camillus are deeply concerned and involved. We are 24- hour professionals who touch the lives of our residents and have our lives touched in turn.

Our counselors are sensitive listeners who give friendship as well as aide.

Our rehabilitation, recreational and auxiliary services are designed to strengthen the spirit as well as the body - designed to help residents achieve their maximum potential.

This is not a place where life marks time. Here, life expands. As it should.

The Realization of a Dream

For twelve years, we dreamed of building a nursing center without storefront glass doors, stainless steel elevators, obtrusive nurse's station, sterile white hallways or cold tile floors.

We dreamed of an intimate nursing center that would duplicate a true home environment. A small home where residents would feel comfortable, but not confined. Where we would have the best facilities available anywhere yet would never sacrifice one-to-one care to the demands of size.

Today we have our nursing center. The dream is real. The Villa Camillus.

It is the nursing center we built for the people we love - the elderly and infirm. We believe it's the nursing center you'd want for those you love.

We Care For the SKILLED or INTERMEDIATE care resident, or the resident in need of CONVALESCENT and CUSTODIAL care.

About Columbia

Columbia Township was the first settlement west of the Cuyahoga River.  The land was a section of the Western Reserve owned by the Connecticut Land Company.

Previously, it had been inhabited by the Native Americans, who fished along the banks of the nearby Rocky River and utilized other rich resources such as chestnuts, deer, and beaver.  In 1805, two years after Ohio became a state, the Connecticut Land Company made a treaty with the Indian Nation and began to survey the land west of the Cuyahoga River, which it then structured into townships.  Each township was designed in blocks of five square miles, with 100 lots of 160 acres.

Residents of Columbia Township are often referred to as "gamblers" because they acquired their land in a lottery system by which all Lorain, Medina, and Huron Count) acreage was sold.  The Bronson and Hoadley families of Waterbury, Connecticut formed the Waterbury Land Company, made their purchase of $20,087 on April 4, 1807, and then drew a piece of paper to see which township would be theirs.  Township 5, N. Range 15 W became their new home.

Among the township's first settlers were Bela and Sally Bronson and their baby, Sherlock.  The Bronsons and the rest of their party set out from Connecticut in September 1807.  While a large portion of the group spent the winter in Cleveland, the Bronsons, Hoadleys, and eight additional men forged ahead to the infant settlement.  Sally, the chief cook and bottle washer during the long trip, made the journey on an oxen-pulled sled with her baby.

Until their cabin was completed. Sally and her family lived under a sled propped against a tree.  As the township grew, Sally and her husband became the first schoolteachers.  Bela Bronson was the township's first clerk.  Sally’s contributions to the settlement earned her the right to name it.  She called it Columbia, in honor of her Connecticut hometown.
