Richland Nursing and Rehab sits at 900 E Scott St in Olney, Illinois, and offers different types of care for older adults and those needing extra help after being in the hospital, after an illness, or after surgery, and what you notice right away is they take care of people who need help with bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, transferring from bed to chair, and there's always a staff member nearby because they've got a 24-hour call system in place, and they cover both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation, so you see people who just need a bit of time to get back on their feet and others who stay longer because they need daily support with things like chronic disease, diabetes, or dementia. You'll find nursing services run from 12 to 16 hours a day, and while they keep the place decently staffed, they also make sure there's skilled nursing care with individualized care plans for each resident, with attention to both health and emotional needs, and those who need more help such as for amputation rehab, cardiac issues, pain management, wound care, or neuromuscular disorders can get care too, plus there is an Alzheimer's Wing designed specifically for dementia care, so people with memory concerns have a safe space.
Folks can enjoy their rooms since there are both private and semi-private rooms, lots of them furnished and with private bathrooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and little kitchenettes, and you'll see outdoor walking paths, gardens, a fitness room, a library, a spa and wellness area, an arts and crafts room, a game room, plus a movie theater where residents can get together, and if anyone wants some quiet time, there are outdoor courtyards and spaces to visit with family. Meals come from a professional chef, and there's restaurant-style dining, with special options for people who have allergies or diabetes, and activities go on throughout the day, whether it's recreational, educational, or planned by the community, and residents even run some of their own programs, with a strong focus on helping people stay social and engaged. There's transportation for trips and appointments, regular housekeeping, personal laundry, parking, and a beauty and barber salon, and Richland Nursing and Rehab is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means folks can move between different levels of care as their needs change, without having to leave their friends or the place they've gotten used to.
They do work with Medicaid and Medicare, and anyone coming out of the hospital or a rehab facility can get skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and help after surgeries like knee or hip replacements, and if someone needs restorative help, the staff reteach things like walking, dressing, eating, and safe kitchen use, always trying to help people be as independent as possible. Behavioral health programs are available too, including a secure unit and help with behavior management, with individual treatment plans and psychosocial programs for those who need more support, and there are special services for people with advanced respiratory needs, tracheostomy care, and IV therapy. Families and residents have organized councils to make suggestions and work together with staff to improve the place, and with 73 certified beds ready, Richland Nursing and Rehab can be a place for both steady living and time-limited rehabilitation, whether someone needs advanced wound care, hospice support, or just help getting back home again. They've won recognition as the Best Nursing Home in the ODM Peoples Choice Awards, and the staff focus on promoting both independence and a good quality of life while providing honest, dependable care.
