Chandler Post Acute and Rehabilitation sits over on West Elgin Street and folks around here know it's a skilled nursing facility with 120 beds, and they've put a lot of work into making these living spaces comfortable and more home-like through recent renovations. The place serves people needing short-term rehabilitation after things like orthopedic surgery or a stroke, and also helps those who need long-term care or specialized nursing. There's a big focus on personalized care, so the staff-nurses, therapists, and other clinicians-work closely with each person and their family to make a Total Care Plan that's supposed to fit each situation, and you see a lot of family and resident involvement like that. The facility has modern amenities, with big outdoor areas, good landscaping, and both private and semi-private rooms for a bit more comfort and privacy.
The therapy team has in-house programs using new tools and hands-on approaches for recovery, and you'll notice the difference especially if you need wound care or ongoing rehabilitation for things like Parkinson's or dementia. There's a special unit for folks with harder behavioral health needs, including those with dementia, Alzheimer's, neurocognitive trouble, or brain injuries, and that unit's kept secure for safety. The behavioral health team is trained for high-acuity cases and keeps a close eye on how residents are doing. People who stay here get a wide range of activities, outings, and recreation, so folks aren't sitting around all day, and the menus try to keep up with nutritious options that folks can enjoy. The place stays community-focused and keeps its licensing up to date, and they've gotten recognized by different groups and insurance providers like Mercy Care and United Health. Staff are encouraged to make decisions fast to help each person, with clear discharge plans and follow-up care if someone goes home or needs outpatient rehab. It's clear that comfort, compassionate service, and active lifestyles are part of what Chandler Post Acute and Rehabilitation tries to keep front and center.
