Highland Health Care Center in Highland, IL, operates as a skilled nursing-home provider. Around-the-clock licensed nurses oversee care plans, manage medications, and assist residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. The community is equipped to manage chronic conditions, post-hospital recovery, and long-term custodial needs, giving residents access to the medical oversight expected from a traditional nursing facility.
Additional clinical programs support recovery and ongoing health. Residents may take part in on-site physical therapy sessions that aim to improve strength, balance, and functional mobility. A pulmonary rehabilitation program is available for those managing chronic lung conditions, offering breathing exercises and education. The Mental Wellness Program gives residents access to counseling and behavioral health resources, and respite care allows short-term stays when family caregivers need a break or when a resident requires temporary skilled support.
Living options include private and shared rooms, and select accommodations offer outdoor access, garden views, or an in-unit washer and dryer. Electric, gas, water, sewer, and cable services are covered for all residents, though not every unit includes every listed feature. Rooms are designed for accessibility and can be personalized with familiar belongings.
Three meals a day are prepared and served by the dietary team. Menus are planned to meet nutrition guidelines and can be modified for physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Meals are served in a communal dining area to support social interaction, and tray service is arranged when a resident prefers to dine in their room.
Residents have access to an activity center for group events, clubs and community gatherings that encourage social engagement, and structured health and wellness programs. A library and computer lounge provides space for reading, internet use, and casual conversation, while scheduled yoga sessions offer gentle exercise and relaxation techniques.
