Villas of Holly Brook Bloomington Towanda Barnes is licensed for assisted-living, enabling residents to receive scheduled and unscheduled help with activities of daily living while remaining as independent as possible. The professional nursing team coordinates closely with each resident’s physician to manage chronic conditions, administer medications, and arrange on-site lab work or other ancillary services when ordered. Staff members are trained in proper lifting, transfers, and fall prevention techniques, and a 24-hour emergency response system ensures medical attention can be summoned quickly. Regular wellness checks track weight, vital signs, and cognitive status so changes can be addressed promptly.
Beyond hands-on medical care, the community provides structured assistance that supports daily routines. Caregivers cue or aid with bathing, grooming, dressing, and continence management, adjusting the level of help as needs change. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be brought in when prescribed, and transportation is available for off-site medical appointments. The team also handles prescription refills, coordinates with pharmacies, and stores medications in secured areas to reduce errors. Family members receive updates through care conferences and electronic charting so they remain informed about their loved one’s health status.

Cable television and Wi-Fi are available, though service packages vary by unit.
