DuPage Care Center-DPCC

Short Term Rehabilitation and Long Term Care. Serving DuPage County since 1888. Residents of the home farmed the 217 acre parcel and had a herd of dairy cattle.

The DuPage Convalescent Center was originally built in 1888, started as a County Alms House for the indigent. They supported themselves and provided additional food to the county jail inmates. It wasn’t until the 1930’s that it became a nursing facility that provided much needed health care to the community. It has developed into one of the most modern, best equipped, professionally staffed, treatment and rehabilitation centers for the chronically ill in the State of Illinois. Since its inception, the DuPage Convalescent Center has continually maintained a high standard of professionalism in all phases of its operation, and the facility is recognized for its excellent patient care and intense in-service education programs. It complies with standards set by the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
