\nHome of the Innocents broke ground Monday on a $75 million renovation and expansion project at its 22-acre campus.<\/p>\n
The project will boost bed capacity and offer additional services for children and young adults with complex medical needs.<\/p>\n
Home of the Innocents, a Louisville nonprofit with nearly 150 years of service to families, provides nursing care and support for children with physical and developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n
Currently, the facility has 76 beds dedicated to complex medical care. When the expansion is complete, it will grow to 126 beds.<\/p>\n
Previously, residents aged out of services at 21. Many families struggled to find appropriate care afterward, with some young adults placed in nursing homes or other facilities ill-equipped for their needs. With this expansion, residents can stay for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n
The Kentucky General Assembly approved $30 million toward the expansion.<\/p>\n
The organization has also received private donations, including $225,000 raised last month during WDRB\u2019s Jude\u2019s Jingle Tree fundraiser.<\/p>\n
Construction on the new phase of Home of the Innocents is expected to be completed in about two years.
