Cedar Pointe Rehab & Nursing

I visited this facility

This is really not some place I would recommend unless the person was destitute. The facility is on Cermak Avenue in Cicero and when I was there there were several residents who seemed like they were "hanging" out in front. One man asked me if I were an inspector when I came to the entrance because I was wearing a dress. That was a kind of foreshadowing of things to come. The building itself seems like a psychiatric institution where poor people go to stay. Out of place was the woman behind the desk who had a friendly professional and helpful manner. The lobby consisted of a couple of chairs, not much else. There was also a vending machine room for patients. The furniture was sparse, not that clean and uninviting. Making my way upstairs in the elevators was none too pleasant. The elevators were slow and crowded. Residents were getting on and off in a variety of conditions. Getting on the elevators there were many bad smells from patients with poor hygiene. On the floors, the activity rooms were ugly with mismatched furniture and was dirty. Overall the staff were helpful, professional and kind trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
