Alton Memorial Hospital Special to Active Lifestyles

ALTON — Eunice Smith Home, the skilled nursing and rehabilitation community that has been serving the senior communities of Alton, Godfrey and the Riverbend area for 53 years, officially became known as Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy in December. “We are committed to keeping the Eunice Smith legacy and building upon the high standards of excellence this community has provided,” said Daniel Vogel, administrator of Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy. “We believe this legacy can only be enhanced by the numerous advantages of aligning with Alton Memorial Hospital and its reputation for quality, conscientious care for seniors living in the Riverbend area and their families.”

Currently rated as a five-star community by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the area of quality measures, the rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care services at Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy are provided by the experienced professionals from Bethesda Health Group, which manages the community per an agreement with community owner BJC HealthCare.

For Active Lifestyles Daniel Vogel, administrator, and Hazel Morgan, referral coordinator, watch as the new Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy sign is installed Dec. 18 outside the formerly named Eunice Smith Home, in Alton.

In the coming months, Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy will hold an open house, and at the time will unveil areas of the community that honor the history and reflect the essence of “Miss Eunice,” including a Healing Garden. For more information about the services offered at Alton Memorial Rehabilitation & Therapy, please contact Hazel Morgan, referral coordinator, at 618-463-7336 or hlmorgan@bethesdahealth. org, or go to www.Bethesda Health.org.

“When you don’t hear well, your brain has to devote extra energy to understanding sound, leaving less brainpower for thinking and memory. Treating your hearing loss frees up those resources, improving your brainpower.”
