Rehab & Nursing Center

The DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center has been in existence since 1853. We are the oldest and largest health care provider in DeKalb County. Beginning as a “Poor Farm”, the facility has evolved over generations to 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. 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.
