Aperion Care West Chicago operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering short-term and long-term nursing services. Residents have access to licensed nurses around the clock, and the team coordinates closely with physicians to manage medications, wound care, and chronic conditions. The on-site rehabilitation program includes physical therapy designed to help residents regain or maintain mobility after surgery, illness, or injury. For families who need temporary support, the community also provides respite care, allowing individuals to stay for a limited period while receiving the same clinical oversight as long-term residents.
Beyond direct medical services, the staff develops individualized care plans that are reassessed regularly to match changing health needs. Caregivers assist with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility support, and they monitor residents for any changes in condition that may require medical attention. The facility is Medicare and Medicaid certified, giving families more options for financing care.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and each layout is designed to balance personal space with ease of caregiver access. Some rooms include outdoor access, cable TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a phone line, though not every accommodation offers all of these features. Maintenance and housekeeping teams handle routine upkeep to keep living spaces clean and functional.
Residents receive three meals daily, prepared according to nutritional guidelines set by a registered dietitian. Staff members accommodate physician-ordered dietary restrictions and texture modifications. Snacks are available between meals, and hydration stations are located in common areas to encourage regular fluid intake.
The community maintains an activity center where residents can participate in group exercises, games, and therapeutic recreation programs that support physical and cognitive engagement. Scheduled events aim to foster social interaction and help residents maintain routines that complement their clinical care plans.
