Willowcreek Rehab & Nursing has been around since 1973 in Belleville, Illinois, and sits in the 62223 neighborhood near Kosciusko and Soulard, which gives it a bit of history and puts it right in Saint Clair County. The place takes in new residents any time, day or night, and provides everything from long-term care and respite care for short stays to assisted living services and independent living for folks who want fewer daily worries and like activities with new friends. Residents can rely on skilled nurses who handle everything including round-the-clock medical care, wound care, pain management, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and rehab with the latest equipment for physical, speech, and occupational therapy, so if someone's coming in with a stroke, a hip fracture, a need for therapy after a hospital stay, or chronic diseases like diabetes, there's a program for that, plus there's even a respiratory unit for trach and ventilator needs and staff who know how to guide families through all those long-term decisions that aren't so easy.
The facility accepts several payment types like Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay, and you can pay bills online, which makes it easier for everyone involved, and the building itself has both private and semi-private rooms with air conditioning, bathrooms, cable TV, telephone, Wi-Fi, and sometimes even a kitchen area-plus housekeeping, laundry, and linen services to keep things in order. There's a dining room with daily meals, a fitness room for exercise, a small library for quiet time, gaming spots for recreation, and an outdoor space like gardens and terraces so residents can get fresh air, and there's always something planned whether it's a resident-led group, outings into the community, or day trips arranged by staff, which folks do seem to appreciate.
People who come in for independent or assisted living use the same services, so they get help with taking their meds, eating regular meals, managing their health, and even getting haircuts at the in-house beauty salon, which lightens the load a little. Community transportation and rides for doctor visits and outside appointments are available, plus there's room for families to visit, join meals, or gather for special events if they want, and everybody gets access to dental, vision, and podiatric care through community providers.
There's a team with experience running things and they're focused on creating a friendly space for both recovery and long stays, offering restorative programs to help recover everyday skills, plus they support both inpatient and outpatient rehab for folks who need to build back strength after surgery or illness. Willowcreek Rehab & Nursing holds a license as a nursing home and also works with family caregivers to provide guidance, hospice care, and resources, with a 3.3 average rating from 41 reviews. The facility keeps an information listing with published prices but doesn't advertise set fees, and it has active ties with SeniorAdvisor.com for more information.
