Windsor Park Manor
Windsor Park Manor has an overall rating of much above average. The facility is located in Carol Stream, Illinois, which is a western suburb to the City of Chicago lying approximately 32.5 miles from the center of the City of Chicago. Windsor Park Manor has 48 certified beds which participates in both Medicare and Medicaid. Windsor Park Manor is within a Continuing Care Retirement Community. The advantage of a Continuing Care Retirement Community is that it allows a resident to move from one level to another based on their particular medical needs. For example, an individual resident may come to the nursing home as an independent living arrangement but later because of illness or injury requires assisted living or critical nursing care. In those instances, the resident can simply move to a different wing of the nursing home rather than to move out into another facility. Windsor Park Manor has a resident council only.
Resident and family councils are important to facilitate communications with the nursing home staff. The law requires nursing homes to allow councils to be set up by residents and families. In the case of the nursing home not having a resident and/or family council, a resident or a family member should ask the nursing home administrator why that is the case. It also may be important to suggest to residents and family members to speak with the council president to get an idea of how the nursing home has acted with other residents who have raised concerns about how the nursing home is operating. The ownership of Windsor Park Manor is nonprofit.
