Briar Place

Staff answer phones and hang us and make up reasons my friend can not come to phone. Tried 16 times in 4 days to get through and continually got hung up on. Asked to talk to administration and was told they are all gone by 4 pm. My friend has not been showered in over 12 days. With the virus it makes it difficult to check on him. Only thing to do is let ILlinois Abuse and neglect get involved. Sad place for my friend

This facility is by far the most unprofessional nursing homes in Illinois. I'm so scared that they would even let this place exist. My Aunt has had her phone,necklace, and her credit card stolen!(later used next door to their facility for gas purchase) someone needs to investigate this place please, I'm currently reaching out to local news broadcasters, writer an investigation agencies! We the people must speak out for those who can't !AMEN

My grandpa is in Briar Place. He suffers from dementia. It's not severe, but there are times I feel they take advantage of him. Many times, when I visit him, he isn't wearing his own clothing. I have no idea whose clothes they are. Also, he's had items stolen. He had a watch that he wore from World War II. He no longer has it. I don't like that the residents are allowed to go on the porch and smoke. Many residents are on oxygen, and sometimes they go outside at the same time as a resident who is smoking. My grandpa should not be smoking in a nursing home either. After all, it is a hospital. My grandpa seems happy, but I cry when I leave him, but I don't think he can understand enough about what's going on around him. I will always wonder what happened to his watch.
