Stearns Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC has been serving folks in Granite City, Illinois, since 1976, and you'll find it in the 62040 neighborhood, tucked away with a home-like feel and a friendly approach to care, so people can settle in at their own pace. The center focuses on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and assisted living, offering different levels of support depending on what someone needs, and the building has comforting indoor and outdoor areas, like a big front porch for sunshine, a mural and courtyard for residents to enjoy, plus bedrooms and a kitchen, living room, dining room, and roomy activity spaces with things to do every day of the week. The staff uses state-of-the-art therapy equipment, including Accelerated Care Plus modalities like those you might see used by sports teams, and there's a full suite of therapy services-physical, occupational, and speech-so people working to regain strength after a stroke, surgery, or other medical events can take part in a personalized rehab plan, whether staying short-term in the dedicated "Rehab to Home" wing, which even has a private dining area, or joining outpatient therapy.
Memory care is another focus here, with a secure, family-like 38-bed Memory Care Unit set up to look like a real home, with soft lighting, calming wall murals, an enclosed courtyard, and activities that encourage each person to engage at their own comfort level, whether it's memory recall, therapy, or just enjoying the company of others. The staff offers post orthopedic care, cardiovascular and pulmonary rehab, complex wound care, IV therapy, respiratory care, and other medical needs, working round the clock and following high standards since the center has notable accreditations, and all of it's handled by skilled, compassionate professionals.
Residents have their own closets, can bring personal furniture, and choose from private or semi-private rooms with in-room restrooms that are cleaned regularly, plus there's housekeeping and laundry services, complimentary cable and Wi-Fi, and a Caring Curls beauty salon to help folks look and feel their best. A wheelchair van helps with medical transportation, and the staff works to accommodate special requests, making sure everyone feels supported, whether someone's staying long-term, short-term, or just coming in for respite care to give caregivers a needed break. There's a steady calendar of social and recreational activities, therapy programs like fall prevention and Wii-habilitation, and specialized support for various speech or cognitive conditions, all aiming to help people live as fully as possible, while every bit of care is personalized based on what each person needs day-to-day in a calm, supportive environment where family and friends can visit any time.
