Cambridge Nursing & Rehab Center

Cambridge Nursing & Rehab Center in Skokie, Illinois has a long history, being licensed since 1983, and offers 113 certified beds for seniors needing skilled nursing care, assisted living, memory care, and short-term rehabilitation, so you'll see rooms that are often comfortable and well-lit, with some double occupancy options and private bathrooms, plus in-room cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and even kitchenettes in many of the resident rooms, and folks there can eat meals made by a professional chef, find all-day dining options, and choose from special menus that can fit diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive, as well as vegetarian and kosher, with restaurant-style serving in a community dining room or in-room if needed. Residents can join communal activities in places like a community commons, arts and activity rooms, a library, a movie theater, and even a small community theater, while the outdoor space has walking paths, a garden, and patios for fresh air and quiet or social time, which many people find helpful during nice weather. Transportation and on-site parking are available, and regular housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in coordination are provided to help keep things smooth. For health and safety, Cambridge uses an emergency alert and 24-hour call system, plus there's always staff and skilled nurses around-nursing care is available all day, every day, with licensed nurses and personal assistants helping with daily activities like bathing, getting dressed, or moving about, and there's dedicated care for folks with high needs, dementia or Alzheimer's, wound care, stroke recovery, pain management, and other complex issues, as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site. The building makes sure to have safety and handicap-accessible features, including showers and baths, which is important for folks who need a little extra help. Everyone has access to Wi-Fi and can take part in daily or community-sponsored social and spiritual events, and if you need adult day care, respite, hospice, or vacation stays, those are also available, plus there's personal, resident-centered support through a resident and family council to help with communication. The center's track record is pretty solid-there's a 5-star medicare rating for quality and safety, though back in December 2016, the latest inspection found five deficiencies, but recent years show no penalties, fines, or serious complaints. Cambridge participates in Medicare, Medicaid, and VA programs, and works with primary care doctors to meet each person's specific medical needs, offering high-acuity care, non-ambulatory services, nutrition and dietary support, incontinence help, and other health-focused programs. There's a sauna or wellness room, fitness options, and resources for both residents and families, with special attention to making folks feel comfortable and supported while they're there. The staff provides care that tries to listen to resident and family preferences so you'll find an environment that focuses on safety, health, and a steady routine to help everyone feel more at home.
