Charter Senior Living of Pekin provides licensed Assisted Living, offering residents help with activities of daily living while enabling as much independence as possible. Short-term respite stays are available, and every resident benefits from scheduled wellness checks that track vital signs, medication effectiveness, and chronic conditions such as diabetes. On-site clinicians deliver diabetes monitoring, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and podiatry services. For changing or complex needs, the community can layer on hospice coordination, incontinence management, memory care support, ambulatory assistance, and comprehensive medication management, keeping most medical interventions in one location.
Additional safeguards contribute to a stable care environment. All visitors sign in, exterior doors use keyed entry systems, and dedicated staff handle snow removal to reduce fall risk. Licensed nurses are on site, backed by caregivers trained in personal support, mobility assistance, and routine health screening. The facility can quickly adjust care plans, coordinate with outside physicians, and arrange transportation for specialty appointments, aiming to minimize disruptive transfers to other settings.
Apartments include options such as kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV connections, Wi-Fi, individual climate control, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Some suites overlook resident gardens or outdoor seating areas, and select units allow large-breed dogs with prior approval. The building offers central fireplaces, parking for personal vehicles, and several barrier-free common areas. Because layouts vary, not every residence features every amenity; prospective residents are encouraged to verify specific details during a tour.
Dining follows a restaurant-style service model with three daily meals plus refreshments throughout the day. Entrées rotate on a seasonal menu and can be prepared low-sodium, vegetarian, kosher-style, or gluten-free to meet dietary directives. Guests may purchase meals, and the culinary staff tracks nutritional intake for residents with clinical diets, including those managing diabetes or other chronic conditions.
An activity center and library/computer lounge anchor the social calendar, which includes live-music events, fitness programs, yoga or chair yoga, walking groups on defined paths, and weekly health and wellness workshops. Residents can attend speaker series sessions, men’s group meetings, trivia contests, movie nights, happy hours, birthday celebrations, and organized social outings into the Pekin area. The community schedules both daytime and evening events to accommodate different energy levels and preferences.
