Bloomington Rehabilitation and Health Care Center works as a nursing home and a rehabilitation care facility right in Bloomington, Illinois, and offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, independent living rooms, and spaces for folks with memory concerns or cognitive problems, so you'll find care for many needs under one roof. The place has 78 certified beds and usually about 35 residents, which makes it feel less crowded than some larger places, and round-the-clock nursing and personal care staff are always nearby. They offer services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy; palliative care; respite care; restorative nursing; and programs for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and you'll also find fitness rooms, a dining room, a beauty salon, and a game/activity space meant to keep daily life comfortable and interesting.
Residents can get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and walking, and there's personal laundry, cleaning, and maintenance so the basics are covered, and staff help with medication, wound care, and even medical transport. Nutritious meals are planned and cooked on-site every day, dietary and nutrition staff make sure everyone gets what they need, and there are always activities social, educational, or creative to fill the day. The community's building is single-story, which makes getting around easier, and the whole place has safety features like ramps, handrails, a sprinkler system, and rooms with kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, and washers and dryers, with both semi-private and private rooms available at monthly rates from $6,000 to $9,000.
Bloomington Rehabilitation and Health Care Center is owned by Mark Petersen with an affiliation to Petersen Health Care, and accepts Medicaid and long-term care insurance. Staff aim for a friendly, compassionate approach and they try to bring comfort to daily life, though it's only fair to note the center's had a history of serious quality concerns, as seen in federal inspection reports citing 159 deficiencies, including 12 involving infection control, and being listed as a Special Focus Facility Candidate. There's no public record of awards, and families might want to review the inspection reports and schedule a visit or a virtual tour before making big decisions, especially since nurse turnover data and details about direct management are not available. The community encourages families and new residents to learn how their care options differ between skilled nursing, independent living, or assisted living, and they want everyone to know about open rooms for those needing memory care, rehabilitation, or long-term care.
There's a wide range of healthcare services available, including lab, radiology, audiology, pharmacy, podiatry, and hospice support, and every resident has access to social activities, outings, fitness sessions, religious services, and support with daily life. The staff promote comfort and safety for people in all stages of aging, whether folks need daily help or long-term nursing care, and families can ask about assessment and consultation options, as well as any policies around waiting lists or discharge planning. Even with its friendly staff, modern spaces, and full range of healthcare services, the facility's well-documented history of deficiencies may be important for families deciding on a safe, comfortable home.
