Lexington of Orland Park operates as a skilled nursing community, so the primary care type available is nursing-home care. Residents have access to a full rehabilitation lineup that includes pulmonary rehabilitation, physical therapy, speech therapy, and a broader rehabilitation program designed to promote recovery after illness, injury, or surgery. The team can also accommodate diabetes management needs, and physician oversight is available on-site. Short-term respite stays are offered, which can be useful for family caregivers who need a brief break or for patients who require temporary skilled care after a hospital stay.
Beyond direct medical services, the community’s secured design helps protect residents who may be at risk of wandering, adding an extra layer of safety. The staffing model is built for 24-hour clinical oversight, allowing the team to respond quickly to changes in condition or urgent needs. By keeping licensed professionals readily available, Lexington of Orland Park aims to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions and maintain continuity of care for both long-term residents and short-stay guests.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, though not every room has the same features. Some accommodations include wheelchair-accessible showers, while others rely on nearby shared bathing areas. Outdoor sitting areas are available for residents who enjoy fresh air, but access may vary based on room location or care plan. Families should verify which specific features are included in a chosen room during a tour.
Dining is provided through three daily meals prepared on-site. Menus are developed to meet standard nutritional guidelines and can be adapted for common clinical diets such as diabetic or heart-healthy plans. Meals are generally served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though in-room meal service can be arranged when clinically necessary.
Residents can spend leisure time in the library and computer lounge, participate in organized programs in the activity center, or simply relax in the outdoor spaces when weather allows. These shared amenities give residents options for social engagement, independent pursuits, and light exercise without leaving the grounds.
