About Dunham Rehab & Healthcare

Dunham Rehab & Healthcare is a skilled nursing and long-term care community in St. Charles, Illinois. It offers 24-hour staffing with on-site registered nurses, private rooms and bathrooms, medication management, housekeeping, and laundry service. The facility provides restaurant-style dining with dietary accommodations, an emergency call system, wheelchair accessibility, and social activities in gathering spaces.

Reviewers describe notably mixed experiences. Some families report excellent care, attentive nursing staff, and meaningful activities, including birthday celebrations for residents. One reviewer noted the facility "looked very maintained" and staff "worked together as a team." However, other reviewers raise serious concerns about meal service and care gaps, with one stating that a resident was not fed despite being hungry, and another describing confusion over whether meals were delivered to their family member. A reviewer with healthcare experience called it "the absolute worst place," citing unmet promises during rehabilitation.

Several reviewers acknowledge the tension between high and low ratings online, with one noting that complaints are easier to voice than compliments. Another reviewer mentioned improvements in staffing and facility updates over time. The community accepts Medicare, which one reviewer observed limits available resources.
