Mar-Ka Nursing & Rehabilitation sits at 201 S 10th St in Mascoutah, Illinois, right in the 62258 area, and the building's been there since 1969, so it's got some history there and it's part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community. This place works with local schools like Mascoutah Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, and you'll find a peaceful setting with outdoor spaces, gardens, and walking paths, and a walk score of 52, which means you can get to a few places on foot but might need a ride for others, and they do offer transportation and parking for residents and visitors.
The facility has 76 beds, and as of June 2025, 37 are open, and they're classified as a Skilled Nursing Facility for people who need 24-hour nursing and personal care or those recovering after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there's also specialized help for memory care, dementia, or Alzheimer's. Residents who need help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, or have trouble getting around can expect 24-hour supervision, non-ambulatory care, and assistance with all daily tasks, and there's a 12-16 hour nursing care provision each day.
There's a focus on comfort, so residents get private, furnished rooms with kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a 24-hour call system, and the building also has cozy community spaces, a library, game and activity rooms, a spa/wellness area, fitness room, arts room, movie theater, and community dining room. A professional chef prepares meals including special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive options, and dining happens all day, not just at set times, and they handle housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination, so things stay simple for everyone.
Programs go beyond just care-Mar-Ka sets up movie nights, music, arts, and outdoor activities, with resident and family councils for raising concerns or sharing ideas about care, and community involvement is encouraged with access to local parks and trails. The grounds outside are well-kept, and the environment stays calm and supportive so residents can feel comfortable and independent, and activities also support social connections, wellness, and recreation.
Mar-Ka takes Medicare and Medicaid, and works as a for-profit corporation, offering a mix of intermediate and skilled care, medication help, and assistance with daily life, and there's a reputation for compassionate support, though there are no published reviews so far. The facility makes room for both short-term rehab and longer-term residential care, with a strong focus on safety and security for everyone, especially for those with complex health needs.
