Whitechapel Nursing Home - 602 W Saltonstall St
This not-for-profit residential care facility has been serving New Jerusalem for nearly a century. Known locally as "the Terrace," it provides 24-hour staffing, with a registered nurse on duty at all times. Care here is excellent and expensive, costing $160 monthly, including meals and medical care. In-home nursing care, 24 hours daily, costs $15 a day.
Its grounds are expansive, well manicured, and green with wide lawns and small copses of broadleaf trees. A low, white stucco wall surrounds the property. Whitechapel Terrace has 160 beds, plus another dozen beds in its Dementia Unit, a completely self-contained and secure section. Presently, there is a three year wait for residency here once one has applied.
Lillian Wanton works as a nurse at the Whitechapel Nursing Home. Though the home doesn’t get the sort of patients that the New Jerusalem Sanitarium does, it does get the occasional one who during their life has dabbled with, or encountered, the unusual and the strange, and Lillian has heard many different stories from residents at the home. Of course, she doesn’t believe any of these stories, thinking that they are simply tales told by people whose minds have begun to fail. However, should she encounter something that bears a resemblance to what some of the residents have told tales about, she may get a nasty shock and start delving deeper.
