Alta Rehab at Oak Brook

ReviewerFC012124A

My mother is in here. Right now, it's for rehabilitative care and then she'll be moving into long-term care. It's very clean. The people are very helpful. It's got amenities onsite, a library, an outdoor terrace, and a kitchen that's accessible to families. They have pretty good specialist care certified who come in and work on a consultant basis rather than having staff trying to do more complicated processes. The thing that's hard, but that's with most nursing facilities and for the elderly, is that they're understaffed. They do a very good job of trying to stay staffed and take care of everyone's needs. There is coordination of care, but there's no one person that you can relate to on a consistent basis for progress updates and that seems to be fairly common. My mother was in another nursing facility and that was the same problem. They have activities. It's a pretty active community. With the rehab part, they do their best to get people up and moving as soon as possible. The food is just standard nursing home hospital kind of food. The people are very helpful and they assist, but they constantly rotate the staff, so you'll have somebody for three or four days, and then it'll be somebody else both at the aide and the nursing level. It's expensive, but they have beds for people on public assistance.

i was looking for a place for my dad to come because he needed a locations for occupational therapy. My dad was having issues with his legs so he needed to find a location that would be able to help him and get to the point where he could get his strength back so he could walk unassisted. They were really helpful and nice when we came in. They gave us a tour of the place and we were really impressed!
