Pavilion on Main Street in Sandwich, IL is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, so round-the-clock nursing oversight is its core offering. Residents who need complex medical management receive care from registered nurses and licensed practical nurses who coordinate with physicians and specialists. Short-term respite stays can be arranged for family caregivers who need a break, and these guests receive the same nursing coverage as long-term residents. For individuals managing diabetes, staff monitor blood glucose, administer insulin or other medications as ordered, and track diet and activity to help maintain stable levels. Emergency response protocols and access to on-call medical providers support residents whose conditions change suddenly.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the community provides help with everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing, mobility support, and continence care. Certified nursing assistants and rehabilitation therapists partner to deliver individualized care plans that may include physical, occupational, or speech therapy. Medication administration is handled by trained staff who document each dose and watch for side effects. Care conferences with families are held regularly, and social workers are available to help with discharge planning or transitions in the level of care.
Accommodation options generally include private and semiprivate rooms equipped with basic furnishings, in-room bathrooms where layout permits, and safety features such as grab bars and call systems. Housekeeping, personal laundry service, and maintenance are part of the standard package, and utilities other than private phone or upgraded cable are ordinarily included. Some rooms have features like wall-mounted televisions, individually controlled HVAC units, or extra closet space, but not all accommodations include every feature, so touring the specific room is recommended before making a decision.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are served daily in the main dining room, with therapeutic diet options—such as carbohydrate-controlled menus for diabetes—prepared under a registered dietitian’s guidance. Alternate meal selections are usually available at each service, and snacks can be requested as needed. Staff provide mealtime assistance for residents with limited dexterity or swallowing challenges, and food intake is tracked when clinically indicated. Families can arrange guest meals with advance notice, and holiday or special-occasion menus are planned throughout the year.
