Nursing Home Communities in Dolton, IL

"My mother has severe Alzheimers and has been residing at the Self Help home for the past 4 years.She entered with only mild dementia and living independently until she became more and more impaired. Her 85th birthday is in a few weeks , and although she doesnt appear to know who we are anymore. at least shes around to celebrate it. Self Help home has made us,her family, feel safe .My mom has had excellent care there all these years , and the administration and staff there have been very warm and nurturing throughout these very difficult years. Mom cant do anything for herself anymore , but is well-taken care of, and we know this excellent standard of care will continue as long as she is there. "

"The nursing Home is great because it was so nice their and the nurses were so kind to you. At the nursing home they're were several enjoyable activities and entertainment that I loved! I had great time at the spas and the excellent sauna during the winter. I would tell anyone over the age of sixty to come here now. It was one of the greatest place I have ever been to. The beds were the best they were as fluffy as a sheep! I thought they were sheep. At Norwood Crossing I was treated extremely kind. Me and my buddies went there played checkers and relaxed for 2 years. The food was yummy and I loved the broth they served. The soup was also extravagant! My favorite meal of all was the milky mashed potatoes with this amazing gravy. The food was amazing I tell you. My daughter can't even cook as good as them. Now that's saying something because I used to think my daughter was a great cook. another decent thing is that they let relatives to stay for a long time and even lets them stay for the night. Overall I had an amazing 2 years at Norwood Crossing and would recommend it to many people. "

"I thought Aperion Care was overcrowded. It was OK, but as far as helping him to start walking or getting him to walk again, I didn’t see that progress at all. It wasn’t that bad; it was just a little overcrowded. The care was OK, and the food was fine. "

"My grandmother is at BRIA of River Oaks. I don't like that they are consistently understaffed, and my grandmother is not a good fit for an environment like that because she needs someone to constantly check in on her. There are no activities or interaction. They just leave her sitting in her room. I want her to be somewhere where they're promoting an exercise. I want her quality of life to be better basically, but I just realize they can't provide that. I'm not saying that they're not nice and things like that, but it seems like they're underfunded and understaffed, so they have very few nice things to work with. It's kind of rundown. There's been no new renovations. It looks pretty old. The staff are nice. I can't really say that I don't like the staff, but they're like out of touch and not that personal. I've encountered a few nice people, but they're not all like that. Overall, this is not a good fit for my grandmother. Food is awful; it's like jail food. The facility is old and rundown. It needs to be cleaned up and remodeled. The exercise that people get, they just come out in the hallway, and if you can't walk, they'll wheel you out in the hallway, and you just sit there. That's all I've ever seen. My grandmother has a single room. She doesn't share it with anybody, and that's one thing I have loved since she has been there. She has a TV, central heat, a dresser, and a nightstand, and that's it."

"My Uncle is currently here. He has been through so much in his life. He has no children so I am his advocate. Villa isn't perfect, but they do correct there misfortunes in a timely matter. It is difficult to have a loved one live in any facility, but I am grateful for the staff here. They keep me informed about my Uncle's care. There has been at least two occasions when I thought I had made a mistake in his placement, but I now know he is in the best place I could've chosen for him. "

"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. "

"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. "

"Mother just got out from here, and she stayed there for six weeks. What impressed me the most was it was very clean and smelled good. They paid attention to her needs, they listen to her, and the therapy was right on point. She didn’t particularly care for the food. She was in a 2-bedroom that was very spacious and had a window view. They have movie nights, facials, and massages. However, the nursing staff wasn’t as friendly as the others. "

"My mother-in-law was at Munster Med-inn. The facility was very clean, neat, modern and all amenities were up-to-date. The staff were very caring, professional and compassionate as well. The food they served was also good. It was very comfortable and she was very happy there. "

"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. "

"This facility located is located on the south side of chicago. The facility in under new management, and staff appear to be very caring to the residents. The grounds are attractive, and the colors in the building are warm and inviting. The staff greeted me in a warm professional manner upon entering the building. I would rank this facility 4 out of 5 stars. "

"I used to go spend time there as a child and lead holiday games with the residents. I remember it being a higher security building because of the number of younger patients there. It was a rather tall building and I accidentally went to high up in the elevator getting ready for the Easter egg hunt. I had been putting posters up all through the building. I was later supposed to hide eggs outside. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I was stopped by the nurse and they explained why I could not enter the floor. I remember it being a clean, larger facility with a lot of land attached to it. There was plenty of outdoor space for residents. In comparison to other facilities is was much more friendly and brighter. Though the surrounding neighborhood leaves something to be desired. I would be careful going to and from the facility. "

"I have my brother here and he has been here several years. The place is fine and a lot of nice people. I used to call and no one would ever return my calls. They went through a lot of head nurses but there has been a new lady Denice who I have been speaking with about my brother. She always returns my calls and is very helpful. Finally there is a person who cares about the families as well as the patients. I feel so blessed to know I can now call and get the information I need. "

"The overall impression when you first enter is very unimpressive. The facility is very untidy and has a foul odor. Patients are under supervised, based on the volume of falls that occur on a monthly basis. The staff are uninformed. They have no idea of a resident's past medical history or what needs they would need to help them. They are not trained in emergency first response to save a life until an ambulance arrives. I have experienced many instances of what I believe is negligence from staff members. "
