About Nursing Home Care in Macomb
The nursing home market in Macomb, IL, presents families with a mixed bag of options. While the average rating for nursing homes here is above the state average at 3.5 stars, the options are limited and concerning. The standout is Macomb Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, which offers a decent level of care but still comes with its set of challenges. Overall, families should proceed with caution when considering care options in Macomb.
For families looking to visit facilities, consider Macomb Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, which has a clean record with zero fines in the last three years. You may also want to check out Heartland Health Care Center, known for being well-staffed, which can significantly impact the quality of care your loved one receives. However, given the limited options available, you might also explore facilities in nearby cities like Galesburg or Quincy for better alternatives.
When it comes to facilities to avoid, skip Countryside Care Center entirely due to a staggering $261K in fines and a troubling Grade F rating. Additionally, Macomb Post Acute Care Center is another facility to steer clear of, as it carries a Grade D rating, indicating serious deficiencies in care. A practical tip for visiting any facility is to ask detailed questions about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection reports to get a clear picture of the care environment.
