  • Alton Memorial Rehab & Therapy Description

    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 Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy as the first-ever location in Illinois to earn its highly-sought “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 — 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 your loved one’s rehabilitation and therapy, whether it’s short term or long term. And we think this video may give you a clearer picture of what’s special about Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy.
