Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Wheeling provides 24-hour skilled nursing care designed for residents who need consistent medical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants work in coordinated shifts to deliver medication administration, wound care, pain management, and post-operative recovery services. On-site rehabilitation therapists offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy for residents recovering from illness or injury, and the clinical team maintains direct communication with physicians to adjust care plans as residents’ conditions change.

Beyond direct medical services, the facility arranges regular physician rounds, lab draws, and diagnostic testing so residents do not have to leave the building for routine evaluations. Care coordination extends to scheduling specialist consultations, arranging hospital transfers when necessary, and managing therapy progress reports. Staff members also provide help with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. A secure environment with call systems and 24-hour supervision supports residents who may be at risk of wandering or falls.

Resident rooms are offered in both private and semiprivate layouts, each designed with accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems; some rooms include direct access to outdoor areas, but not all accommodations have every feature. Furnishings are provided, yet families may bring personal items to make the space more familiar. The campus maintains landscaped outdoor areas where residents can spend time with visitors or participate in organized activities when weather permits.

Meals are prepared on site three times a day under the guidance of a registered dietitian who ensures menus meet therapeutic and general nutrition standards. Staff are available to assist residents who need help eating, and modified-texture diets or specific nutritional interventions are provided as ordered by physicians. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals, and residents who are able may choose alternate menu selections at each sitting.

For leisure and daily convenience, Good Shepherd Nursing Home maintains a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use the internet, or join small group programs such as current-events discussions and basic computer tutorials.
