Alden Estates of Skokie operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour nursing care for residents who need continuous medical oversight. Short-term respite stays are available for family caregivers who need a temporary break, giving their loved ones supervised care in a licensed setting without committing to a long admission. The facility’s team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants follow individualized care plans and coordinate with physicians to address both chronic and acute health needs.

Residents needing focused rehabilitation find on-site physical therapy and a dedicated Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Therapists employ strength, balance, and respiratory exercises to help residents regain function after surgery, illness, or an exacerbation of a lung condition. Treatment schedules are based on physician orders, and progress is reviewed during interdisciplinary meetings to adjust goals or therapy intensity. Ancillary services such as wound care, pain management, and medication monitoring round out the clinical offerings.

Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, some featuring access to outdoor areas, utilities bundled into the monthly rate, and facility-wide Wi-Fi for internet connectivity. A library and computer lounge is available for residents who wish to read, browse online resources, or stay in touch with family via email or video calls. Because room layouts and amenities vary, not every living space includes every listed feature.

Three daily meals are provided, prepared under the guidance of dietary staff who follow physician-prescribed nutrition plans as needed. Residents may dine in a communal setting or request meal service in their rooms when medically indicated. Menus rotate to ensure variety while accommodating common dietary modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures.

An activity center serves as the hub for organized events, and residents can join clubs and community groups that match their interests. Group gatherings, hobby sessions, and discussion circles are scheduled throughout the week to encourage social interaction and cognitive engagement.
