Accolade Healthcare of Savoy sits in Savoy and provides a mix of care and services for older adults and people needing rehab or medical help, and the place opened in 2017, which makes it a newer option in the area, and it's big enough for up to 213 residents, mostly living in a skilled nursing setting that's both Medicare and Medicaid certified, and with all those beds, people staying either long-term or for short stays have access to all kinds of services, from simple help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, to more complex medical needs like IV therapy, tracheostomy care, G-tube services, diabetes injection help, wound and drain care, feeding tube support, dialysis assistance-really, lots of in-house care such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus nutrition services and a whole range of other rehab services, so folks recovering from surgery or illness can get therapy right where they live without needing to go somewhere else, and with Telehealth access available, people can talk to doctors from their rooms sometimes, while a nurse practitioner is on-site to check on medical needs.
Accolade Healthcare of Savoy also runs a Memory Care Wing with 15 secure units for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, where dementia-certified staff and an on-site executive director make sure the routines match what residents need, and that memory care area has its own dining, courtyard, and therapy setups, so folks can get a more peaceful setting, and activities are planned to be both engaging and simple, with games, social events, and some special programs for people with memory loss, while other residents in the main sections of the building join planned activities too, eating in communal dining rooms, taking part in group events, or spending time in indoor and outdoor common spaces.
People who stay short-term-or whose families need a break-can use respite services either in the main skilled nursing areas or the memory care wing, and the place also works with local hospitals like Carle Hospital to help people transition back home after an illness or accident, all while having options for outpatient therapy and cardiac care.
The building uses some advanced technology, like a two-way call light system so residents can reach staff easily, and the care staff includes both licensed and registered nurses, as well as specialists in different types of therapy, all of whom are trained for the kind of health needs you find in a big skilled nursing facility.
Housekeeping, meals (with a restaurant-style menu and special dietary options), laundry service, medication management, transportation help, wound treatment, and both indoor and outdoor lounges are available to everyone and designed to fit with routines or preferences, whether someone needs help with feeding or just wants to take part in group meals with others.
The facility is part of a group with other locations in Peoria, Danville, Pontiac, Paxton Senior Living, and Paxton on Pells, and has earned Joint Commission accreditation, which means there's some outside oversight for quality, but there's no claim of any fancy awards-just a focus on health care and community involvement.
Overall, Accolade Healthcare of Savoy is set up for people who need various levels of nursing help or memory care, especially those wanting to stay in a place that can handle both short and long stays and offer rehab, hospice, or respite care alongside daily living support, and those services are all provided in a setting where staff look after medical, personal, and social needs with a simple and direct approach.
