High Point of Kankakee Supportive Living provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, tailoring daily support to residents who live with complex medical or cognitive needs. The community can manage residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement attempts, exhibit combative behaviors, stay awake through the night, or require wound care, oxygen therapy, or oral diabetic management. Advanced dementia conditions are also supported. Direct care services cover full assistance with bathing, eating, and dressing, along with partial physical help for toileting, and the team offers standby, one-person, walker, and wheelchair transfers to keep residents safe while promoting mobility.
Care delivery is reinforced by a licensed nurse (RN or LPN) on staff, a nurse available on call 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift. Background-checked caregivers respond to pull-cord alerts, and doors are alarmed with a fenced rear area to reduce wandering risk. On-site medical services include podiatry, audiology, dental visits, and access to a therapy room, so many routine health needs can be handled without leaving the property. An activity director coordinates programming suited to varying cognitive levels, helping residents stay engaged while staff focus on consistent supervision and prompt response times.
Apartments are designed for practicality, offering options such as kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping, though not every unit has every feature. Residents may choose the layout and amenity package that best matches their budget and level of independence, and maintenance staff handle repairs so living areas remain clean and functional.
Dining emphasizes flexibility and clinical oversight. Three daily meals can be taken in the main dining room, privately with family, or delivered to the apartment when needed. Between-meal snacks are always available. The culinary team can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, purée, and thickened-liquid diets, as well as broader diet modifications ordered by a physician or dietitian.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outside smoking areas, full wheelchair accessibility, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, internet access, communal gardens, a chapel for religious services, concierge assistance, a library, and several special-interest clubs. The property is close to public transportation, and a scheduled shuttle is available for medical appointments only, helping residents reach off-site providers when necessary.
