Burge House

Burge House has 10 licensed beds and is a certified medium assisted living facility, offering long-term care and several care types for seniors, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, nursing home, continuing care, home care, and hospice care, so if someone needs more help as they get older or has more serious issues like needing memory support, there's usually a way to stay in the same place. The care staff are available at all times to help with things like moving from bed to wheelchair, bathing, hygiene, daily meals, help with dressing, monitoring insulin levels for diabetes, incontinence, and other day-to-day needs, while promoting independence and making sure everyone gets individual attention and the chance to enjoy a safe, warm setting with a homelike feeling. The property is historic, offering a cozy, bed and breakfast retreat atmosphere with comfortable studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom rooms, so residents can pick what works best for them. People who live here have access to different common spaces for relaxing or socializing, indoor and outdoor areas, a reading room, recreation rooms, a wellness space, barber or salon, hot tub, and sauna, where daily scheduled events, community evening activities, and movie nights take place, and there are also offsite and onsite activities, devotional sessions, and fitness programs including exercise, music therapy, and animal therapy. Staff coordinate rides for errands, medical visits, and trips to spiritual facilities, meals are nutritious and prepared fresh to cut down on daily chores, and art events join the list for those looking for something creative to do. Burge House is licensed by the Illinois Department of Social Services with certification ID 5200651 and has staffing and ancillary support to meet a range of health and personal needs, so whether someone requires just a little help or much more, there are different pricing structures for high, medium, or low levels of care, with several fees like a community fee, a buy-in fee, respite stays, and fees for each level of help. Prospective residents can schedule a tour to see the rooms and common areas before deciding, which gives a close look at the inviting, easygoing environment where people can age safely and comfortably.
