The DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center has been in existence since 1853. We are the oldest and largest health care provider in DeKalb County. Long before the modern nursing evolved, the County Home began as a “Poor Farm”, and, over generations, has become 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 and continue to lead the way in skilled nursing care. 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.
