I'm actively looking elsewhere to move my grandpa after discovering him in his own feces. This is unacceptable and all the Administrator and Director of Nursing could do was to blame cost cutting measures because of ownership that took over the place. Omg!!

The staff here truly care about the residents. The CNAs and nurses are always willing to go above and beyond. The building is clean and full of friendly faces. It’s clear that everyone here takes pride in what they do.

Got my grandma out of here after the Admin told me this place was taken over by some cost cutting owners from Waukegan. I was just complaining to him about the staffing and he blamed it all on new ownership. He said "you'll get everything the Waukegan facility gets and more".....I definitely do not recommend this place for your elderly loved ones.

I came in for a tour and was incredibly impressed with the recent renovations, cleanliness, and friendly team! The patients seem genuinely happy to be there! The administrator, Director of nursing and social worker made my team and I so comfortable and welcome. I cannot say enough good things about this place!

This review is based on my own experiences. After extensive hospital stay 86 years old Mom started rehab here. Rehab team is Very Good, week after week they work hard to get Mom back on her feet. They try everything ,new treatments,new techniques no matter how many excuses she came up with . She improved allot ,but at the end couldn’t get back to her base line because of her new condition.After months of trying ,Mom decided to stay here for good as resident. People that work here truly care .From darling young lady at Reception who helped me many times with delivering food I dropped off to Moms room to cleaning lady who worked here for over 20 years taking pride in what she does best. This are just few staff members ( in my opinion) who going above and beyond everyday to make a difference. Starting from Administrator -Taylor who is hands on and always able to find solutions to any problem arising, he personally helped my Mom move to another room ( when I couldn’t be there) . Alicia who helped guide us with many details on care meetings. LU who is head of nursing and overseeing care always watches closely that all assistance and support from Nurses and CNAs beyond expectations. Slava at the office -was one of first people to advise me on this facility ,also did everything possible to assist with becoming resident.Often visiting Mom in her room making sure everything was okay. Kitchen manager is super kind and helpful. I agree with comment that furniture need updating and allot of room for improvement on nutritional value in meals,but Overall , human factor is most important for us and Mom. It heartwarming to know that this Team is solid and helpful. Thank You for your hard work.
