Villa At South Holland sits at 16300 Wausau Ave in South Holland, IL, and provides housing and health care for seniors who need help with daily tasks, nursing care, or memory support, and there are a few different living options, such as assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing home care, although the main focus stays on skilled nursing and long-term support. Many seniors get help here with basic needs like bathing, dressing, medication, eating, and moving around, while the certified staff which includes RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and medication techs, provide health monitoring and 24-hour supervision, and the community serves folks recovering from leg wounds, injuries, surgery, or dealing with chronic health issues, with rehabilitative services like physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Villa At South Holland has a Hemodialysis Unit, which Fresenius Medical Care South Holland operates, and there's dental and laboratory care, plus colostomy support for those who need it, and care includes palliative and hospice help when necessary. The staff keeps track of vaccinations for flu and pneumonia, assists with depression or antipsychotic medicine management, and handles health needs for pressure ulcers or urinary tract infections, and there's a dedicated mental health monitoring program.
The community can house up to 171 certified residents, offers private, shared, and studio rooms (some with kitchenettes and private bathrooms), and provides short-term recovery suites and semi-private rooms with modern medical equipment, with amenities like housekeeping, laundry, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone lines in many rooms, though families note that staff coverage has sometimes felt low, and reviews have mixed opinions about team performance. There's a dining hall with chef-prepared meals, restaurant-style service, and food for special diets like diabetes or food allergies, plus snacks available throughout the day. Residents take part in social activities-movie nights, music groups, arts programs, fitness classes, book groups in the library, and outdoor games and walking paths, while the Sun Room and outdoor gardens offer places for relaxing and healing, and a 24-hour call system lets people ask for help quickly in an emergency.
Villa At South Holland is part of Elevate Care network. It's not part of a continuing care retirement community but participates in Medicare and Medicaid, and accepts private pay, and because of high demand there's sometimes a waiting list for new residents. The community works to help families adjust with a move-in team, a website with updates, and special holiday events, while the resident council gives folks a way to communicate concerns or suggestions. Visitors can bring pets, but residents can't keep animals full time. The staff runs transportation to medical appointments and therapies, and there's help with daily chores and errands. Residents and families can file complaints through staff, forms, social workers, or special drop-boxes if they're unhappy.
There's regular health and safety checks, but back in February 2015 the facility got fined $14,688, and the latest inspection in September 2016 noted five health deficiencies, so it's important to review these reports. The facility tracks activity and staffing levels, with CNAs providing almost three hours per resident, nurses almost 50 minutes a day, and physical therapists about 14 minutes, which is above average care, and the community uses a scoring system to keep up with safety and satisfaction. The Villa At South Holland doesn't allow residents to keep pets, but allows pet visits, and the community tries to keep family and loved ones involved and updated. Prospective residents and loved ones can schedule tours to see first-hand what the rooms look like, including the first-floor hallway, dining area, bathrooms, Sun Room, and therapy spaces that help with many types of recovery. Overall, Villa At South Holland provides many services for seniors who need extra help with health, daily living, and social connection, and while it's not perfect, it tries to connect care and support in a home-like environment.
