Lakeland Rehabilitation and Health Care Center in Effingham, IL, provides assisted living with a strong focus on medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to monitor residents’ vital signs, manage medications, coordinate physician-ordered treatments, and respond to health changes. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available for residents who need rehabilitation or ongoing therapeutic support, and care plans are updated regularly in consultation with physicians, therapists, and family members.
Beyond direct clinical services, staff assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility so residents can maintain daily routines with minimal risk. Scheduled transportation is offered for outside medical appointments, and the team arranges lab work, imaging, and pharmacy services when needed. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are handled by the facility, allowing residents to focus on wellness rather than chores. Safety measures such as fall-prevention programs and regular wellness assessments further support each resident’s overall health.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms that come furnished with basic bedroom furniture, individual climate controls, and emergency call systems. Some units add conveniences like in-room kitchenettes, walk-in showers, cable television, and Wi-Fi, but not all accommodations have all the features. Common areas such as lounges, outdoor seating spaces, and activity rooms give residents places to socialize or relax without leaving the property.
The community’s dining program serves three meals daily in a central dining room, with staff available to assist residents who need help cutting food or managing utensils. Menus are planned by dietary professionals to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals, and residents can request alternative entrées when the regular menu does not meet their preferences.
