Niles Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Celebrates 40 Years of Service

You’d never know that rain had been forecasted for August 17th, as the sun shone warmly on the front courtyard of Niles Nursing & Rehabilitation Center colorfully decked out for its afternoon celebration with balloons, tents, a stage, food and bar areas, along with plenty of scheduled entertainment.

In 1976, Niles Nursing & Rehabilitation Center first opened its doors to serve area residents with their post-acute needs. Now well-known and respected throughout the area for exemplary medical care, this 300-bed licensed skilled nursing facility consistently exceeds both patient and family expectations, especially in regard to its unique Korean program. Headed by Mrs. Hyua Cho working in conjunction with the facility’s administrator, John Marc Sianghio, the comprehensive Korean program provides nursing staff fluent in the language, appropriate cultural activities, and food selections, represented well during its anniversary party.

“We’ve had a wonderful turn-out today including the leadership from Infinity Healthcare Management – our consultancy firm -- to the Mayor of Niles, Andrew Przybylo,” said Administrator Sianghio. “It’s very exciting to gather together with food, fun, and celebrate how our facility has been serving the community for the past 40 years. It has been a real pleasure.”

Michael Blisko, CEO of Infinity Healthcare Management, joined Mayor Przybylo onstage praising the growth of Niles Nursing & Rehabilitation Center and how it has met distinctive needs within the community.

“It takes a dedicated team with vision, drive and commitment to achieve 40 years of consistent professional growth,” Blisko observed. “How this facility has changed over the years and nurtured its unique Korean programming is a real testament to its staff and the leadership they have here. It has been my pleasure to be involved and to watch how this building has evolved over the years in delivering quality care.”

Mayor Przybylo echoed those sentiments by saying, “The community of Niles is delighted to have such a high caliber nursing facility like this meeting the healthcare needs of our residents. Nursing homes today must meet high standards for care and we are proud to see firsthand that this one does.”
