Montgomery Nursing & Rehab Center sits out on the edge of Hillsboro, Illinois, and offers a full set of care and services for seniors who need skilled nursing after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery. There are 110 beds, with usually a little over a hundred residents, and people can stay long or short term. The place accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and private pay, so families have different options for payment. Nurses and staff look after people day and night, and there's always medical help if someone needs it, with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants on duty. Folks get help with daily things like moving from bed to chair, taking medicine, bathing, or getting dressed. The building is kept very clean, and there's no strong odor. Safety stuff like 24-hour call systems, bathrooms with handicap fixtures, and non-ambulatory care for folks who can't get around well are all standard.
The facility brings in a team for therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech rehab, plus they offer specialized care for people who've lost strength, have memory concerns, or need special diets. There's a therapy gym, up-to-date equipment, and programs like "Senior-cize" for staying active. Residents can get dental care, vision checks, podiatry, and even nutritional counseling. Hospice and respite care are available if families need a break or if someone's nearing the end of life, and the staff provides counseling and outreach to family members too. For folks living at home, there's adult day care and support.
Amenities make days a bit brighter, with a community dining hall that serves food restaurant-style, allergy diets and diabetes-friendly meals, and even a buffet area. Residents can gather in the Argon Room, which has a large fountain and bird aviary, offering a quiet spot to watch birds. There are hair salon and barber services, a spa and wellness room for relaxation, and activity rooms for arts, games, or fitness. Folks can sit in the movie theater, visit the library, or go outside to walk the paths and enjoy the gardens. Cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and private bathrooms add some comfort, and transportation and parking are provided for outings or family visits.
The facility hosts movie nights, music, and events run by both residents and the community. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and daily support are there to keep the place running smoothly. Montgomery Nursing & Rehab Center's recent Medicare rating sits at 3.6 out of 5, with inspection and staffing grades ranging from average to above average. Short-term and long-term quality ratings have fallen around the C and D marks, but the latest health inspections earned an A-. The team tries to support every resident with personalized care, therapy, and programs meant to help recovery or keep folks as active and comfortable as possible.
