Lake Cook Rehab & Healthcare in Northbrook, Illinois, operates as a skilled nursing community focused on short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing home care. The clinical team delivers 24-hour licensed nursing oversight, medication administration, wound management, and coordinated therapy services. For families who need temporary support, the facility offers respite care that allows loved ones to recover in a fully staffed environment without committing to a long stay.

Beyond direct medical care, the staff handles care planning, physician coordination, and routine health monitoring to keep each resident’s treatment on track. Social services help with discharge planning and transitions, while on-site rehabilitation professionals—physical, occupational, and speech therapists—work closely with residents to maintain or regain functional abilities. The facility also arranges transportation for outside medical appointments, ensuring continuity of care.

Resident rooms are designed to meet varied preferences and needs. Some accommodations include outdoor access for fresh air, while several rooms feature central air conditioning to maintain a comfortable indoor climate. Cable television and Wi-Fi are available in many rooms to support entertainment and connectivity, though not every unit includes every feature, so families should confirm specifics during a visit.

Mealtimes are structured to support nutrition and recovery. The dietary team prepares three daily meals plus snacks, adjusting menus to match physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or puree. Staff members are present in the dining areas to assist residents who need help with eating, and alternate meal times or in-room tray service are offered for those unable to attend communal dining.

Residents have access to an activity center that schedules therapeutic recreation, exercise classes, and group events aimed at maintaining engagement and mobility. A library and computer lounge provides reading material, internet access, and space for quiet study or video calls, allowing residents to keep in touch with family and stay mentally active.
