Odd Fellow-Rebekah Home sits in a quiet, park-like setting at 201 Lafayette Ave E in Mattoon, Illinois, and folks staying here can look out their oversized windows onto gardens and a gazebo at the center of a landscaped courtyard, which is nice for getting fresh air or just having some peace. Residents choose between semiprivate or private rooms, each with electric beds, and sunlight fills the space thanks to the big windows. The facility offers assisted living, retirement, independent living, and full nursing home care, as well as memory care for people with Alzheimer's. Many join meals in the large dining hall or the family room, and there's a hair salon open a few days a week to help folks look their best without leaving the building, as well as a chapel where families can gather.
Odd Fellow-Rebekah Home is both Medicare and Medicaid certified, and staff help with paperwork so that coverage goes smoothly. Residents and outpatients can get short- and long-term rehabilitation, respite care for family caregivers who need a break, and hospice care, including services through SBL Hospice. There's also access to day care services for those who only need care during the day.
