Elevate Care Northbrook operates as a skilled nursing facility that offers 24-hour licensed nursing coverage and certified nursing assistants on every shift. The center is equipped to handle both short-term post-hospital rehabilitation and longer-term custodial stays. A rehabilitation team provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week, working with attending physicians to set measurable recovery goals. Residents who need help with activities of daily living—such as bathing, dressing, or mobility—receive hands-on assistance, and care plans are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in condition.
Additional medical services include routine physician rounds, on-site lab and X-ray coordination, pharmacy services with medication management, and wound care overseen by specialized nurses. The staff can administer IV therapies, manage chronic conditions such as diabetes or cardiac disease, and arrange hospice or palliative care when appropriate. Respiratory care, pain management, and fall-prevention programs are in place, and social workers help families with discharge planning or benefit coordination.
Accommodations range from private to semi-private rooms, each furnished with adjustable beds, closet space, and access to cable television and Wi-Fi. Many rooms have in-room climate controls and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, while others share nearby bathrooms designed for safety. Housekeeping, personal laundry service, and regular maintenance are provided, and residents have access to common lounges, therapy gyms, and secure outdoor areas for supervised recreation. Not all accommodations have all the features mentioned, so confirming specific room details during a tour is recommended.
Dining services are planned by a registered dietitian and prepared on site. Three meals a day are served in a central dining room with table service, and menu options are rotated to accommodate varied tastes and cultural preferences. Therapeutic diets, such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures, are available with physician orders, and nursing staff monitor meal intake to ensure nutritional goals are met. For residents who are unable to reach the dining room, meals can be delivered to their rooms, and snacks are stocked for between-meal nourishment.
