Is there a nurse available to attend to my needs?
With 24-hour CNA nursing assistance, you can be
assured that your unscheduled needs will be attended
to. We also have a Nurse on staff 7 days a week for your
safety and peace of mind.
I understand that three meals a day are included, but
how is the food?
Food and meals are a vital part of life and we encourage
residents to participate in creating our menus. You
choose from each day's menu items and our wait staff
brings your selection to your table in our restaurant-style
dining room.
 
What happens if my funds run out while I'm living at
Eastgate Manor?
As your situation changes you can feel secure that
you will not have to move out when your savings are depleted.
Our dedicated staff will assist you in the application process
for public aid under the Supportive Living
Program.
If I live at Eastgate Manor, can I come and go as I
please?
Absolutely! We encourage you to spend personal time
away with family and friends. Residents who receive
financial assistance through the Illinois Department of
Public Aid simply need to maintain compliance with the
guidelines established (30 days per State fiscal year.)
Does Eastgate Manor schedule trips or outings?
We offer scheduled shopping and social outings
throughout the month. By participating in our resident
council meetings, you can influence the choice of excursions in
future months.
Can I participate in decisions about my care?
By all means. We encourage your involvement. In
our resident assessment process and the development of
your service plan, our staff will include input from you
and your family in order to keep you involved in decisions that
impact your daily life.
If I don't feel well, will someone check on me and
deliver my meals?
Yes, any time you are feeling under the weather, you
will be seen by the care-giving staff or a nurse. We'll
arrange to deliver your meal selections through room
service.
How is a Supportive Living community different from
a retirement community or nursing home?
A resident seeks to make their home in a Supportive
Living community when their well-being can be enhanced by a
minimal level of assistance. Supportive Living, however, is not
intended to provide the level of care
needed by residents who require 24 hour skilled care or
supervision.
When do I have to move out of Eastgate Manor?
Eastgate Manor should be considered your home. If
your health well-being or safety needs have increased,
we would initiate communication with you and your
representative. Eastgate staff would act as a resource and
partner to begin the search for a suitable healthcare facility
to properly manage your needs.
How do I know if Eastgate is the right place for me?
After you tour a few alternate communities, you will
have a sense of what makes a place feel like home. At
Eastgate it's clear that the people who live and work
here are proud of their surroundings. We take pride in selecting the
right staff members to care for our residents, and
you can be assured that, as a resident here, you will get
everything you need and what you want. We're confident
you will love it here at Eastgate Manor!
