Generations at Peoria sits at 5600 Glen Elm Drive in Peoria Heights, Illinois, and covers a lot of ground when it comes to senior care because you'll see everything from independent living to full skilled nursing and memory care available here, sort of like a community where you can move in when you're fairly independent and stay even as your needs grow, thanks to what they call a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, and that way you don't need to worry about relocating later. At this place, they offer skilled nursing at the Proctor Community Hospital, with services that include round-the-clock care, rehabilitation, and wound care, plus they have a dedicated memory care wing called Generations at Riverview with 35 beds, secure doors, safety features, and staff specially trained to help people with dementia, offering supervision and memory-enhancing activities day and night. When you look around you'll notice there are board and care homes tucked away in neighborhood settings, designed for smaller groups who need daily assistance with things like bathing, medication, and meals but want a homier atmosphere. Assisted living is also part of what's offered, so people who need some help each day but don't require full nursing can get the support they need with personal care, meals, and cleaning services.
People looking for independence will find options here too, since there are independent living apartments with maintenance included, activities, wellness programs, and access to things like a dining hall, beauty salon, fitness room, computer center, library, and outdoor gardens, and while these apartments offer privacy and comfort, extra support is there if you need it. There are studios with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable, and phone service, and you can even choose your own room layout if you'd like. For those who need more serious care, there's hospice care, home care, adult day care, and on-site medical care using the latest technology along with a team of doctors, specialists, and nurses, with a special note that the community is associated with Heartcare Midwest for cardiac care and heart specialists. On the skilled nursing end, you'll find services like IV therapy, trach care, on-site dialysis, and specialized rehab therapy, all watched over by registered dietitians making custom meal plans, plus the place is operated by Accordius Health, so their care is backed by a larger network offering general medical, family practice, and specialty services like radiology and pulmonary care.
Transportation for appointments, linens and housekeeping, common rooms, and outdoor space for relaxing are standard, while safety and supervision come first, especially in memory care where the staff keep a close eye on everyone around the clock. People who want to visit or move in can check out community images online or ask about rooms and pricing since there's a way to schedule tours and ask questions before making any decisions, and there is even respite care for families who need short-term help. Generations at Peoria holds a 3-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for its nursing home, which is about average, not perfect but not the worst either, and they do offer a sense of community focused on supporting residents in clean, furnished rooms, with regular events to keep everyone active and connected. The whole setup means you'll find help and care for all stages of aging here, yet no place can promise perfection, so folks usually ask for exact service and pricing details to make sure the fit is right.
