Lakeside Rehab & Healthcare in East Peoria delivers 24-hour nursing-home care designed for residents who need consistent medical oversight. Licensed nurses manage medications, monitor chronic conditions, and coordinate with physicians to keep care plans current. Short-term respite stays are available, giving family caregivers a break while the resident receives the same clinical attention as long-term occupants.

Additional care features include on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at restoring or maintaining functional abilities. The staff handles wound care, IV therapies, and post-surgical recovery when prescribed. Social workers assist with discharge planning and help residents move smoothly between hospital, rehab, and home or long-term placement, reducing gaps in continuity of care.

Resident rooms are climate-controlled, and many are equipped with cable TV and Wi-Fi to support everyday routines; some also offer direct access to landscaped outdoor areas. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should ask to see the exact room options available during a tour.

The dining program serves three structured meals each day with snacks in between. Menus are developed by a registered dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and to accommodate therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft. Meals are usually taken in a communal dining room, but tray service to a resident’s room can be arranged when medically necessary.

Daily life is supplemented by an activity center that hosts exercise sessions, games, and group events, while a library and computer lounge provides resources for reading, internet access, and quiet study.
