Citadel Care Center of Elgin

Rooms are tiny. When my husband, who is on a feeding tube, wanted his diaper changed, the nurse checked his diaper and told him he wasn't wet enough so he had to lay in that wet diaper for hours. This is a for profit organization and I guess they wanted to save money by not changing patients as often as they should be changed. A woman I know that worked at a nursing home said they were told to only change diapers ONCE A DAY.

My dad is at ManorCare right now in Elgin, but I would like to get something that has a little more social activity. They don't really have anything. It is more of a nursing home. I would say they are very nice. They seem to be caring, but there are not enough activities for him. There are just not enough family spaces. There is only one family space. It is so like a nursing home. The reason why I picked it is because of how they took me everywhere and how they treated me. They were so nice. They were willing to meet with me anytime I wanted to talk about anything. They have a really good rehab for his legs. Everybody was very nice. I would say they need to improve on activities to keep them busy.
