About Aperion Care Wesley
Aperion Care Wesley is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Chicago, Illinois. The community serves residents requiring rehabilitation, ongoing nursing care, and hospice support, with capacity for dementia care and complex medical needs.
Family experiences at Wesley are mixed and often shaped by timing. Those who describe positive stays praise individual staff members, nurses, CNAs, activity coordinators, and kitchen staff, for attentiveness and compassion, particularly during extended stays. One family noted their father "worried to go here due to reviews online which are entirely inaccurate" after receiving quality hospice care. However, multiple families report significant challenges since the facility's transition to private ownership under Aperion Care: chronic understaffing, long wait times for nursing assistance, delayed personal care (grooming, bathing), communication gaps with families, and concerns about cost-cutting measures affecting care quality. Several reviewers describe deterioration in supplies, staff levels, and overall conditions following the ownership change.
The facility carries a 3.9 out of 5 Google rating based on 59 reviews. Ratings cluster at extremes, families either report meaningful staff support and adequate care or describe concerning lapses in responsiveness, hygiene standards, and family access. Prospective residents and their families should understand that experiences appear significantly influenced by recent ownership transition and current staffing constraints.

The care of these residents should be a priority into looking into. The state need to pay a visit to this establishment and thank GOD we got our mother out this place while we could because the managers tried to keep her there and my mom’s health was declining in there fast with no explanation being in there. Open up the curtains that they keep shut and behind them was mold. You tried it but me and family wasn’t going. We trusted the facility to care for our mom short term stay but you made it a nightmare. So People, if you choose this facility, go see your family member constantly. I wish I could rate this place a -30

Aperion might not be the most upscale facility but it certainly cares for its patients. The place is clean, organized and comfortable. The staff is friendly. We need more places like this where lower income people can receive care that protects their safety and promotes their dignity.

The Wesley place Foster Ave. I s a great place. The staff is very helpful and easy to contact. They will call you back and address concerns. The living arrangements are very clean. The Rehab team worked very well with patients and the patients had a good time recovering some of his deficits. Mellissa is the best person and very comforting to the clients.
