Grove Of La Grange Park

I visited The Grove of Lagrange Park facility over this past weekend looking for placement for my mom for the future. The staff were very friendly and were happy to answer all of my questions. The rooms were not the most appeasing visually, but they did smell nice. They had a manager in the building, which apparently they have someone different scheduled daily to be there and make sure the building runs smoothly. The manager showed me around and after seeing the 2nd floor showed me this big conference room with a projector screen and reclining movie theatre type seats. On my way out I noticed a small patio on the side of the building surrounded by trees and flowers, there were some residents sitting out there enjoying the fresh air. As I got into my car I thought to myself: My mom is not ready to leave assisted living as of yet. But when she is, The Grove of Lagrange Park seems like a very nice place for her transition.

If you value the life of your loved one, I beg you to RUN away from The Grove as quickly as you can. Absolutely abysmal care and neglect so severe it ultimately led to the death of our father. Bedsores, dehydration, malnutrition, and finally he was dropped on his head during a transfer. Nurses response to every concern, was, “It’s my first day”, “I’m not usually on this floor”, “Sorry, we’re understaffed”, or just plain, “I don’t know”. I also find it very telling that they removed the Review section from their Facebook page. This facility should be shut down. We regret sending our loved one here so much. Please learn from our mistake… stay away!

How i got to visit the facility was that somebody set me up and told bad things about me like i dont get along with people and i wonder why i know why so my name is slander all over the nursing homes system its cool wont nobody hire me this is crazy so beware familys

I was not very impressed with what I saw of the Grove. The hallways and rooms were dingy and dark. The patients did not seem very happy and were never acknowledged by the staff members as they passed them. Parking was pretty much nonexistent and difficult to navigate. I would not put anyone in here if it were up to me.
