Scott County Nursing Center

Scott County Nursing Center sits out in the peaceful countryside of Winchester, Illinois, over on North Main Street, and has been county-owned since 1971, holding space for 49 residents in a home-like and nicely decorated building that feels calm and supportive. This non-profit nursing home serves people aged 55 and older and offers different levels of care, covering everything from independent living all the way to skilled nursing and memory care. The staff helps with personal needs like dressing, bathing, and daily care, both for folks who need ongoing help and for those only needing care for a short time. Nurses and aides are always around, twenty-four hours a day, caring for people with physical or mental health needs, and the center also runs a Restorative Nursing Program to help residents build or keep their strength. People can get physical, occupational, or speech therapy on site, and there are general healthcare services with medical support close at hand. The staff provides assisted living and also helps people live as independently as they're able, always focused on keeping each person's dignity and choices in mind. The center offers respite care, home care, night care, and adult day care, which gives families a break when needed. Residents can count on one to two meals prepared fresh each day in the dining area, as well as laundry and housekeeping service to keep things comfortable and clean. Common areas give everyone a place to socialize, and the setting is quiet, with countryside views all around. There's no telehealth option, but families and would-be residents can set up a tour to see things for themselves, and the place stays open Monday through Friday during regular daytime hours. The Scott County Nursing Center works under a license as a healthcare facility and belongs to the community, aiming to make sure everyone gets care that fits their needs, no matter how those needs might change.
