General Information
Douglas Rehabilitation & Care Center is a 79-bed skilled nursing facility, We are a member of the Illinois Healthcare Association and are certified by Medicare and Medicaid.
Our nursing and rehabilitation services benefit patients who may no longer need treatment in a hospital setting, but require continued medical intervention or rehabilitation on a short-term basis, before returning home.
Long term care is also available for those who are suffering from a prolonged acute illness or chronic disease, or for those who simply can no longer live alone at home.
Our professional staff members – from our caregiving team to our friendly support staff –provide a compassionate and supportive environment for healing and recovery. Our caregivers are pre-screened prior to employment, and all are local people – neighbors and friends with hometown values - who are invested in the commitment to excellence for which our facility is known. We are fortunate that many of our staff members have been with us for years, providing longevity and experience unique to our profession.
Patients and their families are encouraged to help us develop a plan of care that meets the patient’s physical, social and emotional needs. Whether your stay is short-term or long-term, we work together to help you settle in and feel at home with us.
For residents who plan to return home, we begin discharge planning right away to set realistic expectations and goals, and to coordinate care to ensure a safe return home. As discharge approaches, we may coordinate services through our partners in care to help you in the transition, and to provide continuity of care.
