The Loft of Peoria sits at 1500 W Northmoor Rd in Peoria, Illinois, 61614, and takes in folks looking for skilled nursing, rehabilitation, short-term respite care, and assisted living services, and the place can handle up to 120 certified beds, though it averages about 98 residents most days, so there's still some space for new arrivals. Residents get care from skilled nurses around the clock, with a nurse staffing level of about 3.06 hours per resident per day, and they also get extra help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, which comes in handy for people who need a hand getting through daily routines. The staff can handle more complex medical issues, too, such as IV therapy, wound and contracture management, bowel and bladder programs, ostomy and catheter care, nutrition and hydration, and even chronic disease management, and there are short-term rehab programs to help folks transition between hospital and home or just get back on their feet faster.
The place is set up for people who want lots of choices about how to spend their days, with scheduled daily activities, community-sponsored events, resident-run groups, day trips, movie nights, and a calendar full of things to try, both indoors and out, with amenities that include a well-stocked library, arts room, spa, fitness room, and a computer center, so you can read, paint, exercise, or just surf the internet. Meals come prepared by a professional chef with options for all-day dining in a restaurant-style setting, including allergy-sensitive choices and special diets, and people can eat in the common dining area or in their rooms, which have kitchenettes, private bathrooms, furnished spaces, cable TV, telephone, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Residents also have access to movement rooms, outdoor gardens, landscaped walking paths, gaming rooms, a computer center, and a community-operated beauty salon. Housekeeping, laundry, linen service, move-in help, and concierge support are included, which saves people some hassle.
They offer short-term and long-term care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with memory care programs, and they coordinate hospice and palliative care as needed, developing individualized care plans to suit each person's needs, all while providing 12 to 16 hours of nursing coverage during the day and a 24-hour call system at all times so help is always close by, plus non-medical and community-operated transportation to get residents out and about when needed. The community accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, is for-profit, and is owned by Loft Peoria Holdings LLC, with indirect owners Adam, Daniel, Michael, and Robert Aaron each holding a quarter share. The Loft of Peoria's parent company has provided services in the local community for several years and holds a reputation for high-quality care with multiple accreditations and awards, but it's had some deficiencies noted over the years-such as timely reporting of possible abuse, medication errors, and infection issues-so that's something to keep in mind.
The whole place feels relaxed and nurturing, and all care is person-centered and holistic, with full daily living and therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies, fitness and wellness programs, and respite care for short-term stays. New residents are being accepted, and services include wound and contracture management, enteral feeding, and all kinds of recreational and social activities so people can stay engaged, comfortable, and safe in a home-like setting.
