The
DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing
Center has been in existence since 1853. We are the oldest and
largest health care provider in DeKalb County. Beginning as a “Poor Farm”,
the facility has evolved over generations to a progressive, skilled
nursing center that is highly regarded County-wide for its quality nursing
care and for its commitment to improving daily life for seniors with
healthcare needs.
In March 2000, we moved
to a new 190-bed state-of-the-art building located just north of Northern
Illinois University. We are nestled near a designated wetlands area, which
allows our residents the pleasure of watching wild waterfowl and an
occasional deer.
Our resident rooms
have private bathrooms and a maximum 2-person occupancy. A limited number
of private rooms are available for residents with special needs. There is
ample space for sitting and socializing.
