Saline Care Nursing & Rehab is a for-profit nursing home in Harrisburg, Illinois, and it has 142 licensed beds and 126 current residents, so it's larger than many facilities you'll find in the area. Staff members provide skilled nursing care for older adults, including after a hospital stay or illness, and the staff team covers nursing, therapy, medication management, and help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around. The place takes both Medicare and Medicaid, has both programs' certifications, and has up-to-date information about Medicare or Medicaid rules, long-term care, senior services, and help with understanding payment and coverage, so families can get counseling and outreach help for planning care. There's family council meetings, but not a resident council, and the corporation that runs the place does so for profit.
The building offers on-site beautician services, private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and furnished rooms, which might make stays more comfortable. Residents eat in a large communal dining room, have a restaurant on site, and get options for special diets like diabetes or food allergies, and a chef prepares the meals, which some people like. There are wellness and social activities, with programs that cover outdoor events, music, arts, games, movies, and scheduled activities every day, so folks have choices for getting involved, plus fitness, spa, and a walking path for people who want to keep active or join community events. There are also things like dental care, clinical labs, x-rays, therapy rooms, a garden, laundry services, housekeeping, and transportation options for appointments or errands.
Medical services are wide-ranging, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, pharmacy, nutritional counseling, pain management, stroke recovery, hospice, respite stays, and short and long-term rehab, while nursing staff are present for 12-16 hours a day with 24-hour supervision available, since the place has a comprehensive nurse and therapy hours log by the federal site, and physician services come through regular and specialist doctors, podiatrists, and mental health professionals. Family and resident counseling services are available. The facility has a focus on caregiver education, with caregiver certification and dementia or Alzheimer's training, as well as long-term care planning and information to compare different care options.
When it comes to quality, Saline Care Nursing & Rehab holds a Medicare overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is a D grade, something that families need to look at closely, and the best category for the facility is in inspections with a B-minus score. In the past year, inspectors reported 4 deficiencies, and they gave citations for possible abuse or neglect, so that's worth checking further; the federal agency also flagged the place for abuse, though there have been no fines or penalties. The facility puts records of staff hour levels, clinical assessments, and quality reviews online, so people can look at them if they want more details. There's no continuing care retirement community features here, but Saline Care Nursing & Rehab does offer a wide list of medical and support services, some unique amenities, and resources for families and residents to help with care planning.
