Cedarhurst of Granite City delivers Assisted Living with an emphasis on practical medical oversight. The community is prepared to care for residents who wander, remain awake at night, require oxygen, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Staff members are experienced in supporting mild dementia, and care plans are adjusted as conditions change. By concentrating on these specific health needs, the team aims to keep residents stable, supervised, and comfortable while maintaining as much independence as feasible.
Around-the-clock clinical resources back up this medical focus. An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is available by phone 24 hours a day. Team members undergo background checks, and the night shift is fully awake to respond immediately to pull-cord or personal emergency response system alerts. A dedicated therapy room supports on-site rehabilitation. For day-to-day personal care, staff can help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when only some physical assistance is needed. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one-person assistance, whether the resident uses a walker or wheelchair.
Apartments are designed to provide everyday convenience. Depending on the floor plan, residents may find a kitchenette, individual climate controls, and cable hookups, and all units receive regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry service. Not every accommodation includes every feature, so it is best to confirm details during a tour.
Dining is structured to balance routine and choice. Daily meals follow a set menu while still allowing on-order options for those who prefer something different. A private dining room is available for family visits or celebrations, and the kitchen staff can adjust recipes to meet physician-ordered diet modifications.
Beyond direct care and housing, Cedarhurst of Granite City offers resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, and is wheelchair accessible throughout common spaces. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, concierge desk, and library. Transportation is provided through a community shuttle for medical appointments only.
