Litchfield Health and Rehab Center sits as a for-profit nursing home with 92 certified beds, though it takes care of around 56 residents each day, and you'll find it's been run by Light Man LLC and Shalom Lichtman since July 2023, so there's some fresh leadership behind the doors. The center offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation, focusing on helping people recover from things like injuries, surgeries, strokes, or heart trouble, and if someone needs memory care or Parkinson's rehab, there are special programs for that too. Residents have care from a mix of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who handle things like wound care and try to prevent injuries, but inspection reports show there've been some problems-there were nine deficiencies, with at least one related to infection control, and issues flagged about basic resident care, keeping the place accident-free, and not always having a registered nurse or full-time director of nurses available.
The staff gets about 3.10 nurse hours per resident each day, which is a bit less than the state average of 3.4, but turnover for nurses sits at 23.7%, lower than you'll see almost anywhere else in the state, so many staff tend to stick around, which can help with relationships and consistency. They're pretty active in the broader community, running programs like Meals on Wheels for low-income families, a food pantry, and adopting families at Christmas, so folks might say they take being a good neighbor seriously.
Residents get amenities like housekeeping, laundry, transportation, social services, and a range of rehab therapies, with private family dining rooms and options for home-style meals-there's even always an available menu, and residents can peek at a sample menu if they're curious. If someone wants or needs hospice, respite care, or long-term care, the center covers that. Residents have chances to make friends and form bonds, and there's an emphasis on treating people with dignity and respect-staff say they treat each other and the residents like family and focus on the little details that help everyone feel at home.
Litchfield Health and Rehab Center is Medicare-certified and its affiliations include the Dietary Managers Association, Illinois Nursing Home Administrators Association, and Illinois Activity Professionals Association, so it stays connected with professional groups. The building uses modern technology to help with care, develops tailored care plans, and runs both short-term and long-term programs, with a lot of attention paid to therapy and recovery. While the center doesn't shy away from community involvement and has a friendly touch, inspection findings show there's room for improvement in care and supervision. The center does its best to create a warm environment and offer expert rehab services, and tries to help everyone feel they belong. If you want to know more, they've got a Facebook page, but public information about some parts of the center is limited.
