My mother is getting the care she needs at The Elmhurst HealthCare. It's expensive, but it's great. They're doing a good job, and she's doing well there. They're caring for her medically and mentally. The staff is very nice, very attentive to the patients, willing to help, and not overwhelmed by the situation. She's comfortable in a shared room, which is right across from the nurse's station. She's there by herself, and it's working out great. It's much more manageable. We chose the room that's closer to a nurse's station, so that if there were any issues about falling, it will be addressed there. For the amount of care she's getting, the price is not terrible.

They never answer the phone. Maybe after 13 rings. We were given no care plan. We have no idea what the daily maintenance was. We have no plans for discharge and can't reach anyone in the middle of a pandemic. Also phones in the rooms are broken. If you want the least amount of care, send them to Elmhurst

My father-in law and mother both had wonderful stay at Golden LivingCenter Elmhurst. My father-in law visited for some short term rehab and although he was not the easiest patient for the staff, they did an exceptional job assisting him to return home in the shortest time possible under the safest conditions. He did not want to go to a rehab, however, in the end realized it was best for him to increase his strength so he was able to return home. The staff at Elmhurst really helped him and were very patient and understanding with him. My mother was a long term patient at Elmhurst. She loved being at Elmhurst as the staff treated her like she was part of their family, especially Gladys, Maryann, Toni and Barbara staff on the second floor, It was very comforting to her family to know how well she was taken care of and how good she felt about being somewhere other than home. Thanks so much to all the Elmhurst staff for the great care for our family members. I would highly recommend the Elmhurst to care for a loved one.
