Hitz Memorial Home in Alhambra, Illinois, operates as a nursing home and delivers round-the-clock skilled nursing care. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to monitor vital signs, manage medications, and coordinate physician-ordered treatments. Short-stay respite care is available for family caregivers who need temporary relief, and residents can access on-site physical therapy aimed at improving mobility and strength following illness, injury, or surgery.

Beyond core medical services, the team offers assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and other activities of daily living. Care plans are reviewed regularly to adjust support levels as resident needs change, and the staff maintains communication with family members and outside healthcare providers. Safety features such as handrails, call systems, and routine health assessments help reduce fall risk and allow early intervention when medical issues arise.

Accommodations at this assisted-living facility include private and semi-private rooms, and some units provide direct access to outdoor areas or views of the facility’s garden. Select rooms are pet friendly, and many are equipped with in-room cable TV and Wi-Fi so residents can stay connected. Because features vary by room type, not every accommodation contains all amenities, and availability may change based on occupancy.

All residents receive three meals a day prepared on site. The dietary team designs menus that balance nutrition and taste while addressing physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Staff members are present in the dining area to assist anyone who may need help with seating, utensil use, or portion control.

Residents looking for ways to spend their free time can visit the activity center for group events, join clubs and community groups that match their interests, or read in the library and computer lounge, which also offers internet access for email and video calls. These amenities provide social, recreational, and educational opportunities without leaving the campus, supporting overall well-being.
