    Welcoming compassionate staff; highly recommended

    I'm very pleased with this welcoming facility - the staff are caring, compassionate and truly patient-focused. Mr. Webb, Bridget, Leslie and Robin went above and beyond; administrators and housekeeping are respectful and helpful. My brother is happy and well cared for, and I'd recommend this place.

    Summary of reviews

    Feedback for Countryside Nursing and Rehab is highly polarized: several reviewers praise individual caregivers and particular staff members for compassionate, patient-focused interactions, while an overlapping set of concerns points to operational weaknesses that affect daily life and safety. The facility shows examples of strong individualized care but also recurring system-level problems that merit further inquiry by prospective residents and families.

    Care quality appears inconsistent. Positive accounts describe patient, attentive caregivers and specific staff who delivered good outcomes for residents. Contrasting accounts point to chronic understaffing that leaves certified nursing assistants overextended, creates delays in routine care tasks, and contributes to inconsistent support for residents with cognitive impairment. Reviewers also described incontinence-care concerns and odor issues in resident rooms and shared spaces; these statements indicate lapses in toileting assistance, room cleaning schedules, or sanitation oversight rather than isolated events. There are additional reports of delayed morning medication administration and other medication-management inconsistencies, which suggest a need to review medication-administration protocols and staffing alignment during peak medication times.

    Staffing and management feedback is mixed. Multiple reviewers singled out specific employees and teams for praise, noting respectful, helpful interactions on admission and during everyday care. At the same time, others described variability in staff conduct and tone, with criticisms aimed at some nursing staff and at leadership communication. Several comments raise concerns about transparency and incident handling โ€” including restricted access to video or disputed documentation โ€” which point to potential gaps in how incidents are documented, communicated to families, and escalated to administration or regulatory bodies.

    Dining and activities were frequent areas of concern. Reports indicate inconsistent meal quality, small or insufficient portions, and cold or poorly timed meals. Activity programming is described as minimal by some families, with limited meaningful staffโ€“resident engagement beyond basic care; this suggests unevenness in recreational therapy or engagement staffing. For residents who require structured social and cognitive activities, this inconsistency may affect quality of life.

    Facility condition and safety issues were also noted. Reviewers described maintenance shortfalls during an on-site renovation, including construction materials and floorboard work that were perceived as disruptive. Additional comments about room-level maintenance (dripping fixtures, overcrowded rooms) and inadequate supervision (residents leaving secured areas, resident-on-resident conflicts) point to safety and environmental-management gaps. Allegations relating to personal-item loss and denials of readmission or documentation access further underscore concerns about property security and administrative processes.

    Taken together, the pattern is one of mixed strengths and operational risk areas: individualized, compassionate care is available through specific staff members, but persistent issues with staffing levels, sanitation oversight, medication timing, activity programming, maintenance coordination, and incident transparency create variability in resident experience. Families considering this facility should conduct an in-person visit, ask about current staffing ratios and vacancy/turnover rates, review sanitation and infection-control protocols (including how incontinence care and room cleaning are scheduled), request documentation of medication-administration processes, inquire about activity schedules and engagement staffing, and clarify the facilityโ€™s incident-reporting and evidence-access procedures. Checking recent state inspection reports and asking for references from current families may also help clarify how the facility is addressing the operational concerns noted by reviewers.

    About Countryside Nursing and Rehab

    Countryside Nursing and Rehab sits in Dolton, Illinois, and offers care for people needing long-term stays, short-term rehabilitation, and memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, with skilled nursing services on hand day and night. The facility has 197 certified beds and serves the Chicagoland area, Indiana, and the South Suburbs, taking Medicare and Medicaid. It's a for-profit, corporate-owned nursing home, and doesn't belong to a continuing care retirement community. While the facility has private and semi-private rooms, landscaped outdoor areas, and regular activities like movies, crafts, games, religious services, and outings, it also provides therapy services for physical, speech, and occupational needs, offering help after injuries or hospital stays, and supports people with palliative, hospice, and respite care as well as services like wound care, IV therapy, and case management for those who need more medical support.

    People at Countryside Nursing and Rehab get daily meals, help with laundry and housekeeping, and have access to a snack shop, a computer for use, cable TV, a private lounge, an enclosed courtyard, and beauty or barber services, with staff available round-the-clock. The place runs social programs, religious and cultural activities, exercise groups, and has a book cart and community trips to keep folks engaged and supported. Wellness programs and psychiatric rehab are on the list of what's available, and there's a resident council for input.

    The facility's ratings and oversight record are mixed, and families may want to review them closely. U.S. News and World Report gave it an average score for long-term care (2 of 3), below average for short-term rehab (1 of 3), and an overall score of 2 out of 5. CMS rated Countryside Nursing and Rehab at one star overall, which means "much below average," with low scores in health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Past health inspections showed 14 deficiencies, and over the last three years, the place saw five federal fines totaling $283,944. It has a current consumer alert from CMS for a citation related to abuse, and some allegations or cases in the recent past involved abuse or neglect, so anyone looking should be aware of those details. Staffing is a concern, with only 1 hour and 13 minutes of CNA care and 22 minutes of registered nurse care per resident each day, both well below state averages.

    Some health statistics at Countryside are above average and others fall below state or national levels. Vaccination rates for flu and pneumonia are high. The percent of residents losing too much weight and the rate of new or worsened pressure ulcers are very low, which can be good signs, but the percent of residents with depressive symptoms, those physically restrained, and those given antipsychotic medications are notably higher than state averages. The percent of residents able to go back home from short stays is lower than averages, and the readmission rate to hospitals is higher. The facility offers many promised services and has a staff that aims to listen to residents' needs and stories, but the regulatory and quality ratings suggest that families should pay close attention to these factors when weighing options for their loved one's care.

    No, Countryside Nursing and Rehab does not offer respite care.

It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
