Moorings of Arlington Heights is licensed as a nursing home, offering comprehensive skilled nursing services for individuals who need 24-hour clinical oversight. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who follow individual care plans overseen by attending physicians. Short-stay respite care is available for families who need temporary support, and residents receive regular assessments so that care levels can be adjusted promptly as conditions change. Rehabilitation therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy are coordinated on-site for those recovering from illness, injury, or surgery.
Beyond core nursing services, the community provides medication administration, chronic disease monitoring, wound care, and fall-prevention programs. A nurse is always on duty to manage urgent needs, and an electronic call system connects residents to help within moments. The facility arranges laboratory work, imaging, and pharmacy deliveries to reduce the need for outside appointments, while social workers help coordinate discharge planning or transitions to different care settings when needed. Transportation for medically necessary off-site visits is scheduled by staff, and family members receive regular updates on each resident’s status.
Accommodations range from private suites to companion rooms, with features such as accessible bathrooms, individual climate controls, and built-in storage; however, not all accommodations have all the features mentioned. Safety measures include handrails, emergency pull cords, and secured entrances. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are handled by staff, and residents may add personal furniture and décor with approval. Common spaces include lounges, activity rooms, landscaped courtyards, and a therapy gym designed to support recovery goals.
Daily meals are prepared by culinary staff in consultation with a dietitian to meet therapeutic and physician-ordered diets, including low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-modified options. Meals are served in a central dining room with table service, and tray delivery to rooms is available for those who prefer or require it. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible throughout the day, and special requests can be accommodated with advance notice. Family members may join residents for meals by reserving guest seating, and seasonal menu reviews help ensure nutritional requirements and resident preferences are consistently met.
