Fairview Nursing Plaza sits in Illinois as a licensed and Joint Commission certified skilled nursing care facility with 213 beds, and you'll find about 194 residents living there at a time, which means it's usually near ninety percent full, and it stays busy because folks come for care after surgery or illness, or if they need help long-term with things like dementia, mental health problems, or complicated health issues that need skilled nurses available around the clock, and they always have RN's, LPN's, and CNA's working day and night so someone's always ready to help. The place isn't part of a bigger company or hospital, and it isn't a continuing care retirement community, but it does give Medicare and Medicaid services and has all the necessary state licenses. They try to protect everyone from abuse, neglect, or mistakes with medication, and keep things safe from accidents, plus all the drugs, supplies, and medications are labeled properly, and fully sprinklered in case of fire. Fairview gets families and residents involved through councils, where folks can talk about what goes on, and there are family nights and seminars, so the place tries to keep lines of communication open and welcome the wider community.
Residents can get many kinds of care, like help with bathing or dressing, medication management, rehabilitation such as physical, speech, and occupational therapy, and they have hospice and respite care if someone needs a short stay or is at the end of life. Staff help with high-acuity care, incontinence support, non-ambulatory care, and diabetes, and there's always doctors and nurses on call, plus access to dentists, case managers, and social workers, with mental health services too, including groups for stress management, substance abuse, and help integrating back into the community. There's a restorative nursing program, memory care, and support for people with Alzheimer's or psychiatric troubles, and each resident gets care tailored to what they need and can do.
Fairview's got private rooms, and the building is wheelchair accessible throughout, with both indoor and outdoor common areas, and showers and tubs made for people who have trouble getting around, and it's a non-smoking facility inside. Folks enjoy activities like arts and crafts, sewing, music programs, puzzles, bowling, cards, and games, and they celebrate special days like New Year's, Mother's Day, and other holidays. They offer outings in a facility van for trips and errands, so people don't always have to stay inside, and there are religious and devotional services if someone wants that. The kitchen offers vegetarian and kosher meal options, along with other choices to help people stick to their diets or personal preferences, and the nutrition staff can assist with tube feeding or special diets, too.
Residents have access to beauty and barber services, keep their pets with them, and park their own cars, and visitors will see a supportive environment where the goal's to keep people as safe, comfortable, and healthy as possible, while helping them keep their independence. With case management, counseling, discharge planning, and a range of therapy services, Fairview Nursing Plaza covers plenty of needs for older adults and people with mental health concerns who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or ongoing support, all in a setting focused on each individual's quality of life.
