University Rehab At Northmoor in Peoria, IL operates as a skilled nursing facility that offers around-the-clock nursing-home care. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty 24 hours a day to manage medications, monitor vital signs and coordinate physician-ordered treatments. The community also provides short-stay respite care, giving family caregivers the option to place a loved one in a fully staffed environment for a limited period while continuing necessary medical oversight and therapy services.
Beyond direct nursing, the facility supports residents with physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation, discharge planning and regular care plan reviews. A medical director oversees clinical protocols, and on-call physicians are available for urgent needs. The staff schedules routine health assessments, lab work and pharmacy consultations to reduce off-site appointments. Assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and mobility, is included, and the team maintains communication with hospitals to streamline transfers if a higher level of care becomes necessary.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, and each living space is climate controlled by central air conditioning. Wireless internet is available throughout much of the building, allowing residents to stay connected, and several rooms have access to landscaped outdoor areas for fresh air. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation contains every feature, so families are encouraged to confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in the communal dining room, with staff able to provide feeding assistance and texture-modified diets as ordered. A registered dietitian reviews menus to help ensure nutritional adequacy and to accommodate common therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and residents with special dietary instructions receive individualized meal service.
Residents have access to an activity center where staff coordinate daily programs ranging from fitness classes to arts and crafts. A combined library and computer lounge supplies reading materials, internet access and space for quiet study or email.
