The Loft Rehabilitation & Nursing of Normal is a 116-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Normal, Illinois. It serves patients requiring rehabilitation after hospitalization and those needing ongoing nursing care.
Families describe notably mixed experiences. Positive reviews consistently praise individual staff members, intake coordinator Kelly, activity director Carley, and nursing staff like Shannon, for attentiveness and going beyond routine care, including involvement in activities, personalized attention, and clean rooms. Several residents noted the facility's encouragement of participation and community engagement. However, a substantial number of negative reviews raise serious concerns about consistency in care delivery, including inadequate assistance for fall-risk patients, infrequent personal hygiene support, and unresponsive staff. One family wrote that their mother "almost died here after weeks of neglect," while another reported repeated failures in colostomy care and hygiene monitoring. Maintenance and kitchen staff received specific praise in some accounts, though concerns about departmental leadership in Social Services and Therapy were also mentioned.
The facility holds a 4.0 rating across 73 Google reviews. The distribution reveals a polarized feedback pattern: the majority of recent reviews are five-star, while multiple one- and two-star reviews document serious lapses in basic care and responsiveness to family concerns.

Debbie said that she was taking very good care of, the whole staff was very good, and took care of her needs, one thing she did say is that she would have liked her room cleaned a little more often, mainly with swiping the floor 😀, but other than that she has been in 3 nursing homes, for therapy, straight out of the hospital, and the loft by far is the best, definitely a 5 star plus!

I was so impressed with this facility for my mom’s stay. She was moved here from another facility due to deplorable conditions. I was skeptical at first but the staff, ALL of them were so helpful and attentive. I would highly recommend rehabbing with this facility.
