Citadel Care Center-Wilmette is a nursing-home provider that centers its clinical program on rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing. Residents have access to licensed nurses around the clock, along with on-site physical therapy that follows physician-ordered treatment plans. The community also offers short-stay respite care, giving family caregivers a reliable option when they need temporary relief while ensuring that their relatives continue to receive consistent medical oversight.
Beyond the core nursing services, the care team coordinates with physicians, therapists, and social workers to support each resident’s overall health status. Medication management, wound care, and regular health assessments are handled on-site, and emergency response protocols are in place 24 hours a day. Transportation for off-site appointments is arranged when specialized diagnostics or consultations are required.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and many overlook landscaped outdoor areas where residents can sit or join light activities. Rooms include basic furnishings, climate control, and safety features such as grab bars; some but not all units add extras like in-room showers or additional storage. Families can review the specific layouts during a tour to confirm which options meet their needs.
Three daily meals are prepared in the community kitchen and served in a central dining room with table-side assistance for anyone who needs help with mobility or eating. Menus are planned by dietary staff in consultation with registered dietitians to accommodate therapeutic and texture-modified diets. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and family members may request tray service for residents who prefer to dine in their rooms.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts group exercises, art sessions, games, and scheduled social events. A library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading, internet access, and video calls with family members.
