Carol Stevens earned the July Long-Term Care Hero of the Month award from the Health Care Council of Illinois. Photo courtesy of Little Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Some stories begin out of necessity. When Carol Stevens was 28 years old, she needed a job. She became a nurse aide before the certification process even existed. Little did she know she would stay in the long-term care industry for more than 50 years, even inspiring her employer to name a facility wing (the Carol Stevens C-Wing) after her.
