Parc Joliet operates as a nursing home and delivers skilled care that meets the clinical needs of residents who require ongoing medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to monitor vital signs, manage medications, and respond to emergent health issues. The facility offers short-term respite care for caregivers who need temporary relief, allowing a loved one to stay in a fully supported environment. A comprehensive rehabilitation program is available and includes physical, occupational, and speech therapies, each delivered by certified therapists who work toward measurable recovery goals. Residents who need targeted strengthening or mobility work can also schedule standalone physical therapy sessions without enrolling in the broader rehab program.
Beyond direct medical treatment, Parc Joliet develops individualized care plans that are reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team. On-site staff coordinate laboratory tests, imaging, and specialist consultations as needed, helping residents avoid unnecessary hospital trips. Wound care, IV therapy, and pain management protocols are implemented under physician guidance, and family members receive routine updates on progress. The community also provides assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting, maintaining an emphasis on safety and preserving dignity.
Housing options include private and semi-private apartments designed to support residents who may have limited mobility or other health concerns. Units typically feature accessible bathrooms with grab bars, emergency call systems, and basic furnishings, but not every apartment contains the same set of features, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour. Maintenance and utilities are included, and staff handle regular safety checks to ensure that rooms remain hazard-free.
Meals are prepared three times a day in a central kitchen under the supervision of a dietitian who reviews menus for nutritional balance and physician-ordered diet restrictions. Residents can request modified textures, low-sodium, or diabetic-friendly options as needed. Staff are available in the dining area to provide feeding assistance or portion adjustments, and snacks are offered between meals to support caloric goals or medication schedules.
An activity center serves as the hub for social and recreational programming. Scheduled events vary from exercise groups and craft sessions to discussion circles, giving residents opportunities to stay mentally and physically engaged. Housekeeping, laundry service, and local transportation for medical appointments are included in the monthly rate, and family members are welcome to participate in many on-site activities during visits.
