Lee Manor is licensed as a nursing-home level facility and concentrates on delivering medical care that meets complex health needs. Residents have ready access to an on-site rehabilitation program that coordinates physical therapy and speech therapy for both short-term recovery and ongoing functional maintenance. Diabetes management is available, including blood-glucose monitoring and diet oversight, and physicians conduct regular rounds to adjust treatment plans as conditions change. For families needing a temporary solution, the community accepts respite stays, ensuring the same nursing oversight and therapy services provided to long-term residents.
Beyond the clinical services, Lee Manor maintains continuous nursing coverage and designs individual care plans that address medication administration, wound care, and assistance with daily activities such as bathing and dressing. Staff members track vital signs, mobility levels, and nutritional intake, allowing adjustments to be made quickly when a resident’s status shifts. Coordination with outside specialists and hospitals is routine, reducing gaps in care when residents require off-site appointments or hospital transfers.
Resident rooms offer practical features suited to varying mobility levels. Wi-Fi and cable television are available in many—but not all—units, and selected rooms include wheelchair-accessible showers to promote safe personal care. Some accommodations are pet-friendly, allowing residents to bring a small companion animal, while others are not configured for pets. Outdoor sitting areas give residents a place to get fresh air or visit with family.
All residents receive three meals a day prepared by the dietary team. Menus are designed to accommodate common therapeutic diets, such as low-sugar options for diabetes management or texture-modified meals for those with swallowing difficulties. Staff monitor intake and coordinate with nursing and therapy teams to ensure nutritional goals support each resident’s overall care plan.
The community keeps residents engaged through an activity center that hosts daily programs, including arts and crafts workshops and organized clubs. A library and computer lounge provide quiet space for reading or internet access, and scheduled social outings encourage residents to remain connected with the Des Plaines area. These structured options offer multiple ways for individuals to maintain social interaction and mental stimulation without leaving the support of the facility’s care environment.
