Lee Manor

Lee Manor, located at 1301 Lee Street in Des Plaines, Illinois, is a skilled nursing facility providing dedicated, resident-first care in the heart of one of the northwest suburbs' most established communities. Operated as a limited liability company with a focused ownership structure, Lee Manor delivers the attentive, individualized attention that larger corporate chains often struggle to match. Services include skilled nursing care, short-term post-acute rehabilitation, long-term residential care, wound care, and coordinated discharge planning designed to help residents return home or transition safely to the next level of care. Lee Street is a central Des Plaines thoroughfare, placing Lee Manor close to downtown Des Plaines, where residents' families can enjoy local restaurants along Miner Street, the historic Des Plaines Theatre, and seasonal events at Arndt Park. The Metra Union Pacific Northwest line's Des Plaines station is accessible from Lee Street, making the facility easy to reach via public transit for family members commuting from Chicago or other northwest suburbs. Medically, Lee Manor benefits from proximity to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, one of the region's premier acute care hospitals, as well as Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights. These medical resources ensure that residents who need specialist consultations or emergency care can access top-tier services quickly, with staff able to coordinate effectively with hospital discharge planners for smooth admissions. The surrounding Des Plaines neighborhood offers rich options for family visits. Lake Park and Centennial Park provide pleasant outdoor space year-round. The Rivers Casino Des Plaines and Prairie Lakes Community Center are local landmarks that reflect the city's vibrant character, and the broad shopping options along Rand Road and at nearby Randhurst Village in Mount Prospect ensure families can meet all their needs within a short drive. At Lee Manor, the ownership's direct involvement in daily operations means accountability is personal. Staff turnover is minimized when leadership is present and invested, translating into consistent, familiar caregivers for residents—a factor that research consistently links to better outcomes and higher satisfaction in skilled nursing settings.
