This is my second time coming here and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The staff here is absolutely the greatest. The CNA‘s to take care of us on a day-to-day basis are the best. Very conscientious. Very thorough. Very kind and very considerate. The nurses are very knowledgeable and follow through on every detail. When the activities director has three pages of questionnaires, you know that they are very thorough. But I came here for therapy and the therapy staff is second to none. They developed a plan and so far has worked very well. I’m very pleased with all aspects and would come back here again.

This is an outstanding facility. Mom was in a different facility initially, but as her needs grew more challenging, the other facility couldn't/wouldn't meet those challenges. We made the move to Carlinville Rehab and are so glad we did. Mom is much happier and is well cared for. Bravo to the wonderful staff here for doing your best for these folks every day.
