Sunny Hill Nursing Home of Will County is a county-operated facility with 156 beds, offering nursing home care, long-term, intermediate, and skilled nursing services. The team follows a person-centered approach, promoting independence and dignity, and has consistent staff and a caring medical director watching over things. Rooms are about 250 square feet, come with standard hospital beds, cable TV, call light systems, free-standing closets, and you'll find nurses and certified assistants on site around the clock. People get help with dressing, bathing, grooming, and eating, and the staff also provides wound and pain management, infusion therapy, and skin care. There's skilled therapy for those who need it, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies, along with cancer care, palliative care, hospice, and memory care for Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The rehab team helps residents regain abilities after illness or injury, and folks can also get respiratory therapy and other medical services, including dentist, audiologist, lab work, and vision and foot care.
The facility keeps things active with bingo, live music, pet therapy, birthday and holiday parties, van trips, and programs run by the life engagement team. Residents have a say through food and resident councils, and family members can join in too, even helping shape the weekly menus at monthly meetings. Meals include full breakfasts and two choices each for lunch and dinner, with salads, fruit, and daily specials, and residents can eat in the main dining room or in smaller dining areas with their own kitchenette. There's an ice cream parlor, a beauty/barber shop, a library and computer station, gardens, and free WiFi, plus washers and dryers for laundry needs. The place has a strong focus on a homelike environment, encouraging residents to choose when to wake up, get dressed, and take medications. Services also cover laundry, activities, rehabilitation, hospice, respite, and volunteering, with support from a community group called Friends of Sunny Hill. The staff organizes holiday celebrations, special events, and the facility recently marked its 35th anniversary. Sunny Hill works closely with a waitlist for admissions, does its best to match each person's needs, and remains committed to treating everyone with respect and compassion.
