At Atrium, we believe that psychological and physical health are intertwined and that a positive self image is key to the recovery process.
Regular visits to the dentist, ophthalmologist, optometrist, and podiatrist supplement Atrium's medical regimen and we'll gladly arrange to have the appointments either here or at the doctor's office.
We respect the spiritual health and religious beliefs of our residents, and offer regularly scheduled religious services to help nurture the faith of those who wish to participate.

Dear Atrium Healthcare Center residents, families, friends, and doctors;
We at Atrium want to do our best to keep you informed of what Atrium Healthcare Center is doing in response to the pandemic. Atrium Healthcare Center has available a separate area dedicated to Covid-19 recovery to best accommodate all residents in the facility that require care during this time. As our testing continues, we will be moving residents as required, temporarily, into a designated recovery area and once medically cleared they will be able to return to one of the other units. In transparency, the facility has tested all residents, and since the pandemic began, 79 residents have tested positive at the facility. Most of these have recovered, and currently, Atrium Healthcare has 0 residents that have developed COVID-19 at the facility. We will continue to track these numbers and inform you of changes as they occur. Please know that all residents that test positive or are suspected of having the virus are being safely quarantined from all other residents. Everyone is vigilant with PPE usage and we continuously encourage safe social distancing.
Per CDC recommendations, we are performing regular testing of our unvaccinated staff and residents, based on our local health department’s recommendations. This is part of Atrium’s overall infection control procedure that we have adopted to monitor possible infection spread at our facility. During recent testing, no staff members have tested positive. We are also preparing to administer booster shots once we have received the green light from our health department.
While we have seen a decline in cases through Illinois, per our health department, we still need to follow certain steps as we reopen. Now that the weather has started improving, we are able to offer outdoor visitation. Additionally, we are now able to offer indoor visitation, by appointment only. We know how hard it is, especially during this pandemic, to have limits on visitation. Any family that would like to arrange for any type of visit, FaceTime, Skype, or a phone call can contact the social services department to arrange it at (773) 973-4780. They will be able to provide additional details regarding the screening of visitors prior to each visit, as well as the PPE that will be required. As we continue our journey back to ‘normal,’ it is essential that we do so with caution, and follow all health department guidelines. We appreciate your cooperation with us in the ongoing effort to keep our residents safe.
As always, we thank you for your continued support and pray that everyone stays safe and well.
Sincerely,
Zev Brody
Administration
