Alden Estates of Evanston is a skilled nursing facility that centers its services on comprehensive clinical care. The community delivers 24-hour nursing support and is equipped to manage complex medical needs, including diabetes monitoring and management. Residents who need a temporary place to recover after surgery or illness can take advantage of the respite and short-term rehabilitation programs, both of which are overseen by on-site physicians. A team of licensed therapists offers speech therapy, physical therapy, and a focused pulmonary rehabilitation program, allowing residents to regain strength and function without leaving the building.
Beyond the primary medical services, the facility coordinates regular physician visits, medication administration, and ongoing health assessments to adjust care plans quickly when needs change. Care staff track vital signs, supervise specialized diets for chronic conditions, and schedule therapy sessions in line with each resident’s recovery goals. The goal is to create a stable environment where residents receive continuous clinical oversight while still having access to supportive services that encourage independence.
Resident accommodations vary and may feature wheelchair-accessible showers, in-room Wi-Fi, and access to outdoor areas, though not every room includes every option. The building also houses a library and computer lounge for reading or checking email, and on-site parking is available for residents and visitors. Prospective residents should confirm which features are present in the specific room or suite they are considering.
Meals are prepared three times a day and served in a communal dining space. Standard menus can be adjusted for kosher or vegetarian preferences, and clinical staff coordinate with the kitchen to ensure that therapeutic diets align with each resident’s care plan. Family members can speak with dietary staff to clarify menu modifications or texture adjustments when necessary.
Daily life is rounded out by access to an activity center, planned social outings, and a calendar of clubs and community events that encourage participation. Residents can also spend time outdoors in designated areas when weather permits.
