More Personal. More Friendly. More Successful Outcomes.
Trying to select the rehabilitation community that’s the best fit for your loved one can be a huge undertaking. The American Health Care Association may have made the process a little easier for you. They named our community as the first-ever location in Illinois to earn its highly sought-after “E for Excellence” award.
Chances are they were impressed with the skill and tenderness of the nurses, therapists, technicians, and caregivers. Or maybe they liked the breadth of services at Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy — including Respiratory Therapy offered seven days a week — that focuses on the critical needs of orthopedic, post-surgical, and stroke recovery.
Or perhaps they felt at home in the community—with its delicious meals, comfortable rooms, and a calendar filled with engaging activities. But what’s important right now is that you find the ideal location for short-term or long-term rehab for the elderly person in your life.
And we think this video may give you a clearer picture of what’s special about our community.
Feels Like Home to Get You Home Faster
One of the things most people find special about Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy is how much it feels like home. That’s because everything we do is built around a household model that uses the relationships between residents and staff to make the community feel more like a family home. We believe — and we think you’ll agree — that the “family feel” helps people recover more quickly.
Additionally, about 70% of the people who go through rehab here are cared for through the “Rehab to Home” program, which focuses on getting residents the perfect blend of therapies to make the transition back home easier and healthier. Our success with short-term rehab for the elderly may be a reason why readers of the Alton Telegraph have voted Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy (formerly known as Eunice C. Smith Home) as the “Best of the Best” (Nursing Home category) in the Alton/Riverbend area seven years in a row (2017-2023).
Activities that Keep you Feeling Engaged and Connected
At our community in Alton, we have an activities team that plans a wide range of individual and group activities to enhance residents’ physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
