Nursing Home Communities in Chicago Heights, IL

"We chose Prairie Manor for Dad because of the location and because a lot of other places didn't have any openings. They have a lot of activities. One of the downsides is it's not a really big facility. There are other facilities that had more common areas, and this one is kind of small. Howverve, overall I like it, and my dad likes it there. We're happy with it. I've only heard him complain about the food one time, otherwise he says he likes it. The staff members are pretty nice and always friendly. They have Bingo twice a week, movie days, and every holiday they have Thanksgiving dinner. They do what they can to keep the residents busy and occupied. The only negative is that if you call for a nurse to get medication, it could take a while. I think it's because they have so many patients and understaffing could be an issue, but that's pretty much common everywhere. In general, nursing homes are really expensive, but compared to other facilities, Prairie Manor is pretty reasonable."

"I've been to BRIA of Chicago Heights. It was nice. It was welcoming. They explained a lot of things about the place. They were getting some events ready for the residents. When I went, they were playing some music for them, and they were doing little activities. It was okay. It was clean. The workers were doing their job taking care of the residents. The residents looked clean. The staff spoke to me, and they greeted me."

"It was much better than I last remember. It used to be horrible. It smelled really bad now it's so clean and the staff is friendly. They take good care of the old people there. They look like they enjoy living there. I visited with my friend and she was going to see her mom. "

"I toured Glenwood Healthcare & Rehab when I was looking for a place for my mother. The place was very good and seemed to be very accommodating. They had numerous activities for the residents to participate in, went out for dinner or lunch, and played games. "

"Our experience having my mom here has been good so far. They take her into therapy, they help her with walking, and getting her back into daily life. It's clean and doesn't have that odor or smell when you walk in. The staff is nice and friendly."

"My mother-in-law went to Generations. She was getting some physical therapy and occupational therapy but then she went downhill. We had a meeting with them where they told us their care plan and explained everything, so we thought they were very good. We liked them and the facility. The caregivers were very nice, very attentive, and took good care of her. We were very happy with the care they gave. "

"My family member needed physical therapy assistance to be able to return to her original nursing home after she was in the hospital. I cannot say enough, how professional and caring each and everyone was there. Every employee was helpful, pleasant, and caring. I am truly grateful for everything they did for my family member."

"My father was on the first floor. He wandered out of the facility, fell, and broke his hip which required surgery. When back in the facility, he was left laying and developed terrible bed sores which put him back in the hospital. Those bed sores got infected, infection went into his leg, and gangrene set in. He later died from the gangrene. That was several years ago and sure hope they now take better care of their patients."

"It’s not so bad, there are a lot of Good nurses that work here.. this has been my home for many years, and the nurses feed me, and Help dress me, They treat me like family "

"This place is amazing. The care is the best. They are beyond thorough. Their kindness is so appreciated. My grandmother can be a challenge and they lovingly overcame it all, and give constant reports on her well being. I thank God for them. Because of them I can sleep at night. She is kept clean and well fed. Extra precaution is given because she is a fall risk. The bed is even lowered to keep her safe. I can't say enough kind words. Even when they are overwhelmed, they never change their kind professional disposition and show kindness to the rough tenants. I wouldnt change a thing. The place is beautiful, clean, I have no idea how they keep it so pristine. My grandmother can be antisocial and yet they get her to enjoy the activities which keeps her mind strong. So grateful. Send your loved ones here."

"My brother will be moving into Elevate Care South Holland. The whole place was clean, and I liked the personality of the staff. I just liked the setup of the facility. There were 2 people in a room, but they had private rooms, too. I saw them doing physical therapy in the physical therapy room downstairs, and they were also doing physical therapy with some of the residents in the bedrooms. They also had activity rooms. The family could come and be with them down there. Everything looked clean and organized. They could have their meals in their rooms or they could come down to the common area and eat. I did see some of the residents sitting outside in the front garden area in wheelchairs."

"The staff was incredible; they really cared about my grandfather and my family. They made sure that my grandmother could spend as much time as she wanted with him, and also made sure that she had food to take her insulin with every day. The staff was very alert and aware of changes in my grandfather's condition and was proactive in treating even the slightest symptom. When he began to receive hospice care at the facility, the staff seemed just as moved emotionally as we were. The facility is also well kept and extremely clean. We were very lucky to find Tri-state, as there were not many facilities in the area that had good ratings from the state. "

"Manorcare South Holland has a very professional and caring staff. The care they are currently providing my Mother is supportive and is substantial. Thank you to all the staff members. "

"I liked the Sheffield Manor. I think it was a smaller facility, but they had full apartments, and they were either one or two bedrooms. The other thing that I liked about it was that it had one price for a level of care, and I really liked that. They did allow an animal. I thought it was very, very clean and the staff was very nice to my sister-in-law. The only negative I would have about it is that the hallways werea little long to get to a particular activity place, but she would have had a hoveround to get to places. I thought they had about the right amount of activity. They have a theater and a beauty shop. I thought the price was very reasonable plus it was month to month. I didn't have to put in an initial fee to go there. I liked this place. I thought the apartment was so nice, and the closet space was wonderful. "
