Retirement Apartments Slideshow

 

Independent Living

Our retirement apartments allow you to live an independent life, meet new friends, and leave the worries of home maintenance behind for a very affordable price.  A number of one and two bedroom floor plans offer no lease requirement, paid utilities, fully-equipped kitchens, spacious living and dining areas, laundry rooms in each building, and a Club House.  The apartments are cable-ready with carport space available.



Assisted Living & Assisted Living Plus

When the tasks of daily living become difficult, Assisted Living provides personal assistance while promoting independent living.  Assisted Living Plus offers a higher level of help that often eliminates the need for more costly nursing home placement.

Respite Care

Not sure Assisted Living is right for you or your loved one?  Respite care allows you to spend a trial period in one of our assisted living suites.  Our respite care program can also provide caregivers a rest from the day-to-day responsibilities of providing care, while allowing your loved one to sample living in the Niles community.


Skilled Nursing Care & Rehabilitation Services

Licensed and certified as a Medicare and Medicaid provider, skilled nursing provides the highest level of care.  Our team of professionals works under medical supervision to develop care programs to meet your needs.  Rehabilitation services include physical, occupational and speech therapies, and restorative nursing helps residents maintain maximum independence.

Ask about Optimus  a computerized medical record program that tracks care as it is performed. A state-of-the-art medical records documentation program, Optimus provides resident information to physicians or nurses at the touch of a button.  This truly innovative way of tracking resident care eliminates piles of paperwork and allows nurses to do what they do best – caring for our residents!

In 2007, e-Mar, which tracks medications and ensures the proper medication and dosage is given to the right person, was added.


Alzheimer’s Care

We recognize the unique needs of residents afflicted with Alzheimer’s and related disorders by providing a more specialized type of care for those residents.  A variety of structured therapeutic and social activities are offered daily to our Alzheimer’s residents.
