The Loft of East Peoria is a senior community with 120 licensed beds and usually about 117 residents living there each day, and it's part of a group that runs other similar places in Illinois. The community offers skilled nursing, assisted living, long-term care, rehabilitation, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, adult day services, non-medical home care, and hospice. Residents can get help with activities like bathing, getting dressed, eating, moving around, and medication management, with trained staff on hand all day and night and a 24-hour call system in every room for emergencies. The Loft provides many levels of care in one campus, so residents can move between care types when their needs change, and they make care plans based on what each person needs, with nurses covering about 3.45 hours per resident every day, which is a little more than the state average.
The community has a dining room where residents eat meals prepared by a professional chef who can work with allergies and special diets like diabetes needs, and they offer restaurant-style dining. Residents live in rooms with air conditioning, cable TV, WiFi, kitchenettes, telephones, private bathrooms, and furniture. The building has a fitness room, creative arts room, movie theater, activity rooms, a garden, outdoor spaces, a beauty salon, library, computer center, and walking paths. Staff help with laundry, cleaning, and meals and offer transportation for medical and non-medical needs too. There are regular activities, music and arts programs, movie nights, and a wellness center so residents can stay active and social.
Care at The Loft of East Peoria covers a wide range, including cardiac rehab, stroke rehab, therapy (physical, occupational, speech), diabetes management, IV therapy, wound care, dialysis, tracheostomy care, bowel and bladder programs, ostomy care, and more. The team supports people with complex needs like enteral feeding, contracture management, chronic disease, and palliative care. The staff tries to involve families and tailor treatment plans to the resident, helping them keep as much independence as possible, and the therapy gym has equipment to support rehabilitation. The place has a record of following state health inspection standards-though it's had 19 deficiencies found, including one for infection and some others for how they handle garbage and timely resident assessments. It's a privately owned facility, managed since December 2023 by Loft Healthcare Consultants, Inc. and others, with a focus on helping seniors who may need short-term stays, long-term care, or a safe space when returning from the hospital.
