Citadel of Glenview

Citadel of Glenview sits at 1700 E Lake Ave, Glenview, IL, and works as a Skilled Nursing Facility that's part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, so folks find both short-term and long-term care here, and there's memory care, independent living, assisted living, nursing homes, home care, respite care, and even 55+ community options, which tells you there are different levels for different needs, and people get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, walking, transferring, and taking medicine, as well as support for people who don't walk or who need more complex nursing care. The building has 135 certified beds and usually averages about 120 residents daily, with about 3.27 nurse hours per resident per day, and the nurse turnover rate is listed at 28.4%, which is something to keep in mind, and there have been some reported issues in the past from inspections like an infection-related deficiency, failure to support residents' behavioral health care, and lapses in letting residents self-administer drugs, but staff work towards providing a safe environment and proper pain management, and the staff are mostly cheerful and trustworthy, and care is available 24/7. Private bathrooms, air conditioning that each person controls, cable television, private telephones, mailboxes, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes are in the rooms, while both private and semiprivate layouts are available, and people in assisted living, like at their Hartwell House residence, get 24-hour care, weekly housekeeping, and linen services. Dining can happen all day in a communal room with professional chefs, using special menus for diabetic and allergy needs, and meal preparation considers swallowing concerns, with cultural choices offered, such as a Korean Program with specific menu items and activities. Services like move-in help, transportation, and parking make settling in easier, and the facility has aides for rehabilitation including physical, occupational, cardiac, orthopedic, pulmonary, and stroke therapy, plus rehabilitation suites that feel quiet and private, plus specialized units and services for wound care, bariatric care, in-house dialysis, and peritoneal dialysis, along with options for medical equipment like oxygen, CPAP, and BiPAP machines. Residents and families can join a council and give feedback, and social life stays full with community activities, game rooms, wellness areas, open-air courtyards, gardens, walking paths, a movie theater, regular movie nights, music programs, arts and crafts, a library, fitness rooms and programs, worship services, pet therapy, cultural programs, and even a specific Korean Program, and there are lounges, activity rooms, and gatherings in open spaces. Worship services and pastoral care are available, and there are both resident and family organizations, so relatives stay involved, and you see residents have cable TV, voice mail, and access to internet, and there's mail service and phone access, too. The place supports scheduled tours where you can meet people and see the spaces, and Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, but right now, Citadel of Glenview's not taking new patients, so it's not possible to move in at the moment, though the staff speak English, and the company, Citadel Healthcare, runs the facility as a for-profit business with a stated goal to meet individual needs and help people feel at home. You'll find an atmosphere that tries to be warm, attentive, and focused on both health and well-being, and there's a real aim here to respect each person's preferences, whether that's with meals, activities, therapy, or comfort.
