Manorcare of Arlington Heights delivers licensed nursing-home care, with registered and licensed practical nurses on duty around the clock to manage complex medical conditions. The clinical team provides skilled services such as medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, post-surgical monitoring, and on-site rehabilitation. Short-stay respite care is available for families who need temporary coverage, giving caregivers a break while the resident receives the same comprehensive nursing oversight as long-term residents.
Beyond bedside nursing, the facility coordinates physical, occupational, and speech therapies in a dedicated rehab area, works with attending physicians to adjust care plans, and arranges on-site diagnostic testing to minimize outside appointments. Staff assist with activities of daily living, offer fall-prevention monitoring, and support chronic disease management programs for conditions like diabetes or cardiac issues. Case managers help residents and families navigate insurance requirements and plan for discharge or long-term placement when appropriate.
Resident rooms are designed for practicality and safety, with standard furnishings that can be personalized. Some accommodations include direct access to landscaped outdoor areas, and select units are equipped with in-unit washers and dryers for residents who prefer handling their own laundry. Space can be reserved for private family functions, though availability varies, and not every room comes with each of these features.
Meals are cooked on site; menus emphasize home-style dishes prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian. The dining staff can modify textures, adjust portion sizes, and account for physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Between meals, snacks are available, and hydration stations are monitored to encourage adequate fluid intake.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that schedules fitness programs, group exercise, and adapted workouts. Residents can join clubs and community groups, participate in arts and crafts sessions, and use the library and computer lounge for reading, email, or video calls. Planned social outings offer supervised trips to local shops, restaurants, or cultural events, extending engagement beyond the campus.
