Acorn Estates empowers you to live more independently, on your terms. We are a community in Mt. Carmel, IL that welcomes the use of Medicaid should financial resources become low. Let our highly trained staff see to the housekeeping, maintenance, and cooking. Our residents enjoy the confidence of having nursing services and discreet personal assistance available whenever needed.
Residents and families enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that residents can apply for Medicaid if financial resources become low. Acorn Estates is a Supportive Living Community designed as an alternative to traditional nursing & assisted living. Persons with a low-income, limited financial means and or disabilities are eligible for a supportive living community. By combining apartment-style housing with personal care, Acorn residents can live independently with dignity and privacy as well as take part in decision making.
From the moment your loved one wakes up in the morning, our nurses, therapists, and trained staff will be there to help them work and heal throughout the day.
Their day will be filled with three prepared meals cooked by our dietary staff. We encourage you to stop in and try the food! We are very proud of our excellent dining services. Our activities department is always up to something fun. From playing games to spending time outdoors to preparing for upcoming holidays, the staff is constantly working to provide socialization and fun for our residents. Our therapy department will work with your loved one’s physician or surgeon to determine a schedule and goals for these services. Many civic and religious organizations schedule time at our communities to entertain and worship and we are ever so thankful for the communities that give so much to our residents.
We take having fun pretty seriously at WLC. Each WLC home has at least one full-time staff member dedicated to creating a social atmosphere while also incorporating arts and crafts, cooking, games, puzzles and visits to area events and attractions. Our resident homes are also very fortunate to receive entertainment from wonderful musicians, performers, religious organizations, youth groups, civic organizations and more. We also host special events around the holidays and other various times during the year for residents and their families to enjoy.
A trip to the salon can make all the difference in how a person feels. We are proud to offer salon services by trained cosmetologists at all of our communities. No matter if it is a trim and a shave or a new cut or permanent, our salons offer a variety of options for you or your loved one.
