House of Harvest in Yorkville operates as a residential care home capable of supporting residents with a range of medical and cognitive needs. The team is experienced in managing moderate dementia and provides targeted safeguards for individuals who wander or are at risk for elopement. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen use, oral-medication diabetes management and care for adults under 60 who need a supportive setting. On-site podiatry visits limit the need for disruptive off-site appointments and help residents maintain mobility and foot health within the community.
Around-the-clock staffing and security reinforce the clinical services. Caregivers are on site 24 hours a day, doors are alarmed, and a personal emergency response system immediately alerts staff to urgent situations. Residents who need help with daily routines receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting. Mobility support scales from simple walker guidance to one-person transfers, Hoyer-lift transfers or complete bed-bound care, ensuring residents can remain in place even as needs intensify.
Private and semi-private rooms are available and may come furnished for easier move-ins, while some spaces allow families to bring personal items for familiarity. Cable service is available in select accommodations, giving residents easy access to news and entertainment, but not every room includes the same features, so families should verify specifics during a tour.
Dining is handled on site, with three home-style meals served each day and snacks offered between meals to help maintain energy and blood-sugar stability. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered dietary restrictions and consistent-carbohydrate menus for diabetic residents, supporting the clinical goals set by the nursing team.
Residents benefit from wheelchair-accessible common areas, community-wide internet access and scheduled on-site religious services. Laundry and housekeeping are provided, freeing residents from routine chores, while medication management and monitoring ensure prescriptions are taken safely and accurately.
