I would like to express our deepest gratitude to the wonderful staff at Bella Terra Morton Grove for providing my mother, Terezija Salamon, with kind and compassionate care at the end of her life. My mom was at Bella Terra for hospice care and from the nursing staff and all the support staff, to the administrative staff, we could not have asked for a better group of professionals during such a difficult time in our life.

I had emergency surgery on April 15th which resulted in my having a colostomy bag. We had to fight with my insurance to get here. Since I have been here, I’ve grown stronger and am more confident. The entire staff is WONDERFUL. They are friendly and kind and usually quick to respond when I press the call button. I want to commend one aide TIONNA especially. She has been especially helpful and I appreciate that very much.

I was happy with my experience at Bella Terra Morton Grove. If I had questions or concerns the staff would answer them. If they did not know the answer they would investigate to find the answer.
