Norridge Gardens

Norridge Gardens sits at 7001 W Cullom Ave in Norridge, IL, serving seniors for over 30 years and holding 292 beds as a skilled nursing facility licensed under #0052431. The building offers different apartment styles, from one to four bedrooms, but doesn't give clear details about things like parking, garages, or whether there's internet or satellite. Folks at Norridge Gardens can choose short-term rehabilitation after surgery or injury, or long-term care, since they've got a busy rehabilitation department working every day with physical, occupational, and speech therapies. There's specialized care for Alzheimer's and memory issues, including a secure Memory Care Unit with its own staff and programs, and the community provides hospice, respite care, wound care, pain management, and cardiac support like a CHF program, helping both long-term and temporary residents. Nursing staff and CNAs, some trained right at the facility, serve residents in both English and Polish, which matches the facility's strong focus on Polish culture-you'll hear staff speaking Polish, you'll see meals and events based around important Polish holidays like Easter, Christmas, Smingus Dynguare, the Name Day, and Dozynki, and Polish senior groups gather for meals and to socialize, guided by a Polish Relations Coordinator. Family members get invited to join special events, religious services sometimes happen in Polish, and you'll find plenty of activities-like games, arts and crafts, live entertainment, and outings-that help folks feel at home. The Tiffany Dining Room serves meals and there's a patio with a downtown Chicago skyline view, plus a laundry room, a beauty salon, and a barbershop for residents, though the building doesn't say much about any outdoor spaces or pools. The facility serves meals in a dining room and allows some pets, but doesn't list pet rules. Norridge Gardens doesn't provide telehealth but does have emergency preparedness plans that families and residents can review. The facility scored The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for Nursing Care Center Accreditation in 2019, backs LGBTQ legal protections, and accepts different payment options. Office hours run Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and there's always a chance for tours where you can meet staff and residents, see the rooms, and learn about life there. Residents and families get planning help, support with advice, and can review available floor plans as needed. Browser compatibility and Facebook services get a mention, probably for family connection, but almost all details focus on in-person care, daily life, and the community's strong ties to Polish culture.
