Country Health in Gifford, Illinois, offers nursing-home care for residents who require continual clinical oversight. The facility delivers a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program for individuals managing chronic lung conditions, a Mental Wellness Program that addresses emotional and cognitive health, and both short- and long-term Physical Therapy to restore strength and mobility after illness or surgery. Short-stay Respite Care is also available, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring their loved ones receive professional support.
Beyond the formal programs, the nursing team is staffed around the clock to handle medication administration, wound care, vital-sign monitoring, and coordination with outside physicians and specialists. Care plans are individualized, reviewed regularly, and adjusted as residents’ needs change. An on-site emergency response system and routine health assessments aim to reduce hospital readmissions and keep residents medically stable.
Resident accommodations include private and semi-private rooms with essential utilities such as electric, gas, water, and sewer service; many rooms also have cable connections, though not every unit includes every feature. Outdoor areas give residents a place to get fresh air, host visiting family members, or participate in supervised activities.
Meals are prepared on-site three times daily, and menus can be modified for diabetic, cardiac, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day. The Activity Center supports nutrition programming with cooking demonstrations and group discussions on healthy eating, fostering engagement around mealtime.
For enrichment, the community schedules instructor-led Yoga sessions that focus on flexibility, balance, and breathing techniques appropriate for varying mobility levels. These classes complement the rehabilitation services by encouraging gentle movement and stress reduction within a structured environment.
