Macomb Post Acute Care Center sits at 8 Doctors Lane in Macomb, Illinois, out in the country where things feel peaceful, and the building has eighty beds set up for both skilled nursing and sub-acute rehabilitation, and you walk in and see a home-like living room area and a nice outdoor courtyard where you can sit a while or get some fresh air, and the whole place gives off a homey feeling, not so much like a plain hospital. The center is operated by Chaim Millman and Boruch Sheps, who have managed things there since June 2021 under the name Stern Consultants, and the business is a for-profit limited liability company, which seems to matter to some when they're deciding on care.
Most folks come here when they need care after a hospital stay, or if their medical needs get too much for home, and the team includes skilled nurses and specialist therapists offering post-acute care, long-term care, and short-term stays, so the center provides help with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, medication, diabetic injections, laundry, and meals, and the aim is always to get people stronger for what lies ahead, whether they're going home or staying longer. The rooms come private or semi-private, with each unit having a kitchenette, telephone service, and free cable and internet. There's a focus on keeping people busy with an activity program that tries to match what residents did and enjoyed before coming here, so activities can help with anxiety, loneliness, and other concerns, and they also try to get everyone involved with social events, recreational activities, and therapy sessions that are meant to keep the mind and body working.
Residents can expect enhanced dining options and several amenities that make things more comfortable, like a warm, supportive environment, a steady staff even though the nurse turnover rate has been about 51 percent, and an average of three and three-quarters nurse hours for each resident every day, which is something to note. The facility provides different kinds of therapy, including occupational, physical, speech, and post-operative, and has services that can manage more complex health conditions, especially when medical support at home isn't enough.
Macomb Post Acute Care Center has faced some issues, though, with 31 total deficiencies documented in inspections, and this has included complaints leading to four deficiencies on June 5, 2024, and two more on October 23, 2024, including citation for not always providing care based on what each person wants and needs, not always following infection control perfectly, and a noted problem with pain management for residents, as well as two different infection-related deficiencies, which means people should keep these concerns in mind when making a decision.
The staff is described as dedicated and well-trained, and the facility stays committed to helping people get well, though, like a lot of places, it's not without room for improvement. With a daily census around forty-nine residents out of the possible eighty beds, Macomb Post Acute Care Center remains a place many families choose when someone needs more care and supervision than they can get at home, with programs and support meant to help keep people engaged and comfortable, no matter how long their stay turns out to be.
