Joliet Terrace is a comprehensive care facility that specializes in providing highly individualized care for adults with chronic physical or mental illnesses, including those with dual diagnoses. The center offers custodial care for individuals who are unable to care for themselves primarily due to mental health issues, with some cases further complicated by substance abuse or other comorbidities. Residents live in a spacious ranch-style center designed to create a homelike environment, complete with semi-private rooms, tastefully appointed accommodations, and convenient amenities and services such as meals, laundry, housekeeping, beauty/barber services, on-site religious services, transportation van, and community outings.
The staff at Joliet Terrace is commended for their professionalism and helpfulness, with individuals at all levels working hard to ensure residents feel at home and comfortable. The facility also offers online continuing education credits for social workers, nurses, nurse case managers, physical therapists, and occupational therapists through webinars on topics such as compassion fatigue and self-care during a pandemic. Additionally, with the return of certain freedoms amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Joliet Terrace emphasizes the importance of vaccination to help prevent the spread of the disease and protect residents and staff.
Joliet Terrace is dedicated to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for residents, with infection control policies available upon request from the Administrator. Staffing levels are monitored daily to ensure the facility meets minimum ratios, although updates on staffing compliance will be provided quarterly on the website per requirements from the Illinois Department of Public Health. The center prioritizes the well-being of residents and strives to provide a supportive and caring environment for those in need of specialized care and assistance.
