The Road to Recovery Just Got Shorter
With rehab right on site, it’s convenient to receive treatment while you’re living at Friendship Manor or staying at Silver Cross while you recover from an illness or surgery.
Areas of specialty include orthopedic rehabilitation after joint replacement, degenerative joint disease, arthritis and neurological rehabilitation. Neurological rehab helps patients affected by a stroke or brain injury and those with Parkinson’s or related diseases.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy programs use advanced equipment, such as the Solo-Step Overhead Track System for the rehabilitation process.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy facilitates a return to activities by adapting or modifying tasks and environments. This therapy can help you or a loved one regain the ability to perform a certain task or return home to live independently.
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and language therapy provides help with swallowing, speaking and cognition. Verbal and non-verbal communication skills are taught and exercises to strengthen muscles used to speak and swallow are utilized.
All outpatient rehabilitation therapies require an order from your physician. Most insurance plans are accepted upon approval. Call (309) 786-9667 for insurance questions or to schedule an appointment. Therapy orders from a physician can be faxed to (815) 572-5618 or brought to the first therapy appointment.

“Thank you to the entire team at Friendship Manor, especially in the Memory Care Unit where they
provided loving, caring and compassionate care for our mother. She enjoyed the staff who were so kind and loving.
She enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful outdoor patio, having coffee with friends and engaging in the other social activities there.
She was always treated like family and we knew she was happy and safe. I would highly recommend Friendship Manor.”
“What a difference Friendship Manor has made! Some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and they give you such peace of mind. Truly, when you know that your mom is happy and well taken care of, (not to mention having AMAZING food), life is better for everybody!
Thank you, Friendship Manor!"
