My uncle has been staying at the Grove of Northbrook for a while now, and after going THRU THE RINGER trying to find him a decent long-term nursing home, I honestly think we finally found the right place. He has a disability and we tried a bunch of places before this, including one of those "fancy" ones (ALIYA of Highwood, formerly Highland Park Nursing & Rehab). It looked beautiful, but the care was TERRIBLE. He fell multiple times there and it was honestly scary. We ended up at the Grove because a nurse recommended it, and yeah, I’ll be honest, it’s not the prettiest building. It definitely looks outdated and I DO think they should remodel. But here’s the thing: if you actually care about your loved one being taken care of by competent CNAs, nurses, and social workers, THIS PLACE IS IT. They are well-staffed. They know what they’re doing. And when I call with questions about my uncle, they ACTUALLY call me back instead of disappearing. That alone says a lot. I guess don’t judge this place by how it looks. We did that before, and it almost cost my uncle his safety. Here, I know he will be well-taken care of and I actually trust the care. I highly recommend you give it a shot.
