Chicago Ridge Nursing & Rehab has been serving Chicago Ridge, Illinois since 1997 and sits at 10602 SW Hwy, providing care as a skilled nursing facility licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and while it's not BBB accredited, the place offers a variety of services for those who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living, with both short-term and long-term care options. The owner is Barry Taurbaum, and over the years people have used the facility for everything from post-surgery rehab to respite stays after an accident or illness, and you'll find staff on hand for nursing, behavioral health, social services, and activities to keep residents comfortable and engaged. Visiting optometrists and podiatrists add to the care options, and there's in-house x-ray and lab services, along with pain management, infectious disease care, restorative nursing, and specialized therapies like C-Pap, Bi-Pap, chemotherapy, and even enteral and parenteral feeding therapies, which are useful for folks with more complex health needs.
Residents with kidney problems have personalized onsite dialysis through a partnership with Dialyze Direct, and the facility has an area for dialysis treatment, which many people appreciate because it means fewer trips out, while those facing life-limiting illnesses get support through hospice care on-site. For rehabilitation, there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus a team of experienced wound-care nurses provides wound care, and there's support with feeding tubes, isolation for those who need it, IV therapy, joint replacement rehab, and medication management. Social workers help residents deal with emotional and psychological needs, making adjustment smoother whether someone's just staying for a short time or planning to live there long-term, and the staff tries to keep up with current therapies and techniques so folks get good care targeted to keeping or regaining strength and mobility.
Rooms come as spacious private or semi-private suites, and there are both studio and companion apartment options, so people can pick what fits best, with the building featuring state-of-the-art equipment combined with comfortable furniture and a calm environment meant to help with recovery and daily living. Chicago Ridge Nursing & Rehab offers meals, so folks don't have to worry about cooking, and help with daily routines like taking medicine, plus there's a schedule of activities that covers everything from art programs and crafts to movies, social events, fitness, worship, and transportation for appointments or outings. Many people use selective services-like behavioral health programs or short-term rehab after leaving the hospital-and the goal is to combine medical care with a bit of personal attention in a place set up for recovery and support. The focus is on practical, up-to-date care, making sure residents get enough help with whatever health issues they face, in a setting that's quiet, reasonably modern, and staffed by people who know their way around both simple and complex medical needs.
