Covenant Village of Northbrook operates as a continuing care retirement community, allowing residents to move among independent living, assisted living, memory support, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing as needs change. Short-term respite stays are available, and the on-site rehabilitation team provides licensed physical therapy for recovery after illness, injury, or surgery. The staff is trained in diabetes care, including glucose monitoring and medication management, so residents with diabetes have consistent clinical oversight without leaving the campus.
Additional medical support includes 24-hour caregiving personnel, scheduled physician visits, and coordination with outside specialists when ordered. Care plans are individualized, reviewed regularly, and adjusted as health status changes. For residents admitted for brief stays—whether following a hospital discharge or while caregivers take time away—the same clinical resources remain in place so that short-term guests receive the same monitoring and therapies as long-term residents.
Accommodation options range from studio or efficiency apartments to larger master suites. Many residences include central air conditioning, and some open to landscaped outdoor areas or a garden view, but not every unit has each of these features. Parking is available for residents who still drive, and common patios and walking paths give everyone access to fresh air without leaving the property.
Meals are prepared three times daily and served in shared dining rooms, with menu selections designed to meet nutritional guidelines for older adults. Special diets, including carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetes, can be accommodated on request. Residents recuperating in the health center receive meal service in their rooms until they are ready to join communal dining again.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts scheduled programs such as arts and crafts workshops, fitness and wellness classes, live entertainment events, and group discussions in the library and computer lounge. Routine transportation, housekeeping, and maintenance are included, and staff coordinate with residents to encourage participation in programs that match individual interests and therapy goals.
