Evenglow Lodge in Pontiac, IL operates as a licensed nursing home, providing 24-hour skilled nursing services for residents who need comprehensive medical oversight. The community supports both short-term rehabilitation stays and long-term custodial care, with on-site registered nurses and licensed practical nurses available around the clock to monitor vital signs, administer medications, and coordinate with physicians.

In addition to its core nursing services, the facility offers targeted medical support for residents managing diabetes. Staff members monitor blood glucose, administer insulin, and coordinate specialized meal plans to help residents keep their levels stable. Routine foot checks, lab work coordination, and education on disease management are also part of the program, ensuring that diabetes care is integrated into each resident’s daily regimen.

The assisted-living side of Evenglow Lodge offers a selection of private and semi-private units. Some accommodations include direct phone lines and easy access to landscaped outdoor areas where residents can sit or walk. Because layouts and amenities vary, not every room includes every feature, so families may want to review available floor plans during a visit.

Three daily meals are provided and can be adjusted to meet physician-ordered diets, including low-sugar or carbohydrate-controlled menus for residents with diabetes. The dining team oversees portion control and nutritional balance, aiming to align each plate with individual health plans and personal preferences.

Residents have access to an activity center that hosts scheduled programs such as exercise sessions, crafts, and social gatherings, helping individuals stay mentally and physically engaged without leaving the campus.
