Dupage Care Center operates as a skilled nursing home, staffed around the clock with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. The facility offers multiple levels of care that range from short-term recuperation to long-term skilled nursing, allowing residents to move between care levels as their health needs change. On-site physical therapy is available seven days a week, and the comprehensive rehabilitation program brings together physical, occupational and speech therapists who coordinate closely with physicians to help each resident regain or maintain function.
Additional medical support includes regular physician rounds, pharmacy oversight, wound management and restorative nursing services aimed at sustaining gains achieved in therapy. Respiratory care, pain management and fall-prevention programs are in place, and the care team relies on goal-oriented plans that are reviewed and updated frequently. Lab work, imaging, and many specialty consultations can be arranged on site or through trusted local providers, minimizing the need for outside appointments.
Resident accommodations include private and semiprivate rooms, multiple lounge areas and secured outdoor courtyards that can be used when weather permits. Some areas incorporate intergenerational programs that bring in local students for shared activities, and a convenient snack shop offers quick refreshments between meals. Select sections of the building use Skynet Technology and an electronic medication administration record to streamline care delivery, although not every room is equipped with these features. Access to Midwest Village–style communal spaces, the Nicholas Conservatory & Anderson Gardens areas and landscaped walking paths varies by unit, so individual room assignments determine exactly which options are close at hand.
Dining services emphasize balanced nutrition and clinical appropriateness. Menus are developed with input from dietitians to meet therapeutic diet requirements such as low-sodium, diabetic or mechanical-soft needs. Meals are served in a central dining room with staff assistance available, and room-service trays can be ordered when a resident prefers to eat privately or is recovering from a procedure. The snack shop remains open for light items outside scheduled meal times, and hydration carts circulate daily.
Amenities and services include a dedicated activity center that hosts regularly scheduled programs, plus organized social outings to community destinations such as local shopping areas and nearby attractions. Transportation is coordinated by the facility, and staff encourage participation to support social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
