Management is the worst at this facility. They have made up lies about my stay. I went to go get treatments at another facility and the manager of social services refused me back at their facility.
I had no place to go.
Then they would not take my phone calls to address the situation at hand. Their management team is full of liars and unacceptable characters to manage a facility in charge of people’s lives and family members.

Montgomery Place is beautiful. My parents had this spectacular apartment with a wonderful view of the lake that was very peaceful and lovely. They have an in-house, co-owned caregiver company, so when my dad became less and less independent, we were able to have caregivers come into the independent living area to provide the extra care. They have a shuttle bus and a lot of connections to the community. They have field trips and daily walking groups, so it is a great place for active seniors. It was well-maintained but minor things took a long time to get taken care of, like hanging picture frames, which took a few months because they didn?t want us messing with their walls. But if it was something significant, they were right there. The food was quite good. They would go downstairs to the first floor for dinner and have independent living eating for breakfast and lunch because the units have a small kitchen, and so you could arrange to have groceries delivered if you needed to. A wonderful independent pharmacy called Ketsaros is not far and they would deliver medications to the unit, so the seniors didn?t have to go out if they weren?t able to or they don?t want to. If they wanted to do their own grocery shopping, there was a shuttle bus that goes to the grocery store twice a week. Ninety percent of the unit is independent living, then one floor is assisted care or what they called ?catered living,? and another floor is the skilled nursing facility split with the rehab facility. My dad had very severe influenza during the time he lived there. He was hospitalized for TWO weeks, and then went to inpatient rehab at Montgomery Place on their rehab unit until he was fit to go back to his apartment.

My 92 year old mom passed away at this facility 9 months ago On january 18th 2021. She had lost a good portion of her eyesight within 10 months prior to entering this facility. She then had something similar to a stroke. Unable to move for the most part and declined each day. Due to covid I was not able to see her. Trying to reach someone on her floor to either talk to my mom or a staff member was a struggle. The ONLY nurse i was able to reach and had compassion was louis. The floor manager a short young girl had NO COMPASSION at all. When they told us they were putting mom in hospice they told us we could make an appointment for 2 days later to see her. All the floor manager cared about was if mom was still their after 5 more days we would have to pay. We gave her our decision to leave mom at the facility vs risking mom passing away in an ambulance if we brought her home. After we told her our decision all she did was walk away from us. Maybe she will be in the same situation some day. And I hope some day I will see her so I can tell her how I feel to her face. She is a disgrace to that facility.

Lots of nursing homes are mediocre looking and short staffed, but the difference here was that the employees really cared. I developed relationships with other residents as well as the employees. Now that my rehabilitation is complete, I am very grateful for the high level of care I received. It was so homy, I didnt even realize how intense my treatments were!! What a wonderful place to get better after a fall or hospitilization. Highly recommend.

My mother has been a resident of this facility since December of 2021. I just recently visited her at the facility. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff and how they interacted with the residents. My mother is treated with the utmost of care from the professionals who understand her medical condition. I have been in contact with the social workers there, David and Ms. Williams. They have worked in tandem to assist me with any concerns that I have had and they are readily available when I have other questions. Also, the nurses who attend to my mother have always been friendly over the telephone and have developed professional relationships with my mother. In addition to the professionalism of the staff, I must state that the general appearance of this facility is very good and the air is excellent. Lastly, the physical location of the facility is in a very beautiful area.

My brother is currently staying at Grove of Berwyn. I can’t go in there, we’re not allowed in. The staff member said when I dropped things off for him they had to have a paper signed for that. The staff has always been nice, I could say that. The social worker, kind of overworked, it took a while to get all the paperwork done, but she did it and we did speak, and I understand when someone has a lot on their plate because I think she works at different facilities. Just for the fact that it is a nursing home, there’s nothing there for him to do. With nice weather they would let him stand out at the back chairs that they got there. They were taking him to his VA appointments, his medical appointments, and everything. On the whole, I think they’re probably better than some nursing homes I heard complaints about, because my brother’s not really complaining other than that he wants to get out of there because there’s nothing to do, so I guess I would say they’re OK. I have nothing to say negative about them. I’m kind of neutral because all of the staff that I talked to were all very nice. They do not have any activities that I know of, there’s nothing going on there. Every now and then they have a, I want to say therapist, not that he needs therapy, but they would take him out of the room for exercising so he walks around. There’s no reason, physically, for him to be there, mentally either. He just loves to walk around and they had him lifting weights. I thought they might have been based more on somebody that comes to do therapy with other patients and they just kind of dragged him to do some stuff so that he wasn’t just sitting there comatose.

****OUTSTANDING CARE – PATIENT AND DILIGENT SERVICE – ABSOLUTELY RESPONSIVE TO YOUR CONCERNS****
Our mom is a Stage 6 Alzheimer’s patient with many very difficult behavioral issues related to her disease.. We were very apprehensive and nervous about placing her in nursing care. However, realizing that we could no longer meet her needs and keep her safe in our home environment we began the search for alternative living for mom. From the very first call to Aperion Care Dolton, the voice on the other end of the phone put us at ease. Sandra in admitting listened to me and assured me that they could meet our needs.
Sandra invited me in for an informational tour–which I took advantage of the same day. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, the warmth of the employees and the fact that on the spur of the moment, everything was available for me to see. The patients were alert and engaged in activities. The nurses were polite and took time to greet me.
Once she was placed there she initially continued to be a very difficult case. They never gave up on her. The employees at Aperion Care Dolton were very attentive and patient with her. They made her feel comfortable and balanced the need for close care and safety with her need for a level of independence and control. They listened to her stories and made extra-patient efforts to engage her and acclimate her to their programs.
By mid-December, mom was adjusted to her new living arrangements and her behavioral issues are well under control, I never expected that she could be this calm and adjusted again. Her primary doctor is pleased with her health, weight and overall improvement. THERE IS MUCH TO BE SAID FOR LETTING PROFESSIONALS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST! Families have personal access to their loved ones 24/7 and can do telephone checks anytime night or day.
Mom is doing much better in the nursing environment than she was most recently in our home. We welcome being received by her with a smile. She is always happy to see us and we no longer have to be the "wardens" and "bad guys." who have taken her control away.
I would recommend Aperion Care Dolton for any family nervous about placing their loved one for nursing care. A nursing home, by it’s very definition, can’t be 100% in each area at all times, but the people here care about their patients/residents and consistently go the extra mile!

My mom is now at Symphony South Shore. She has been there for rehab for three weeks now. The room is very nice, and the community room is very accommodating for families to have a semi-private affair there. When you come as a visitor, the staff gives a good response in addressing whatever needs to get handled. As for the food, there is not enough consideration for her needed diet. For instance, she has gout and pasta can inflame gout, and she’ll receive food that has pasta as a filler in the food. I had to point out to my mother that it is not that you have this terrible disease called gout, instead, it’s that the food you’re being served has been impacting the inflammation.

My mother is at Palos Heights Rehabilitation Center. She is in rehab. There’s plastic up all over the place. I believe it’s an attempt to stop COVID. You have to fill out a questionnaire on the computer every single time, and that takes more time than is really necessary. You walk in and there’s someone there to greet you at the door, but after that you may not see another staff member at all. The facility itself is pretty much the same as it was 15 years ago when my mother was there. Nothing has changed. It’s the same equipment. They do have new paint. They went from bright yellows and blues and pinks down to brown. There’s nowhere near enough staff, and the staff is so overworked that they say they’ll be back, but they don’t come back. I wouldn’t want to try the food. There’s maybe one activity a day on the far side of the building from the rehab portion. The room is the most boring room ever. There are no curtains. There’s one bed per room. It is dark, dingy, and not always clean. I will never ever send anybody I know there again. My mother has been there but has not been allowed out of her room yet.

My mother is at Palos Heights Rehabilitation Center. She is in rehab. There’s plastic up all over the place. I believe it’s an attempt to stop COVID. You have to fill out a questionnaire on the computer every single time, and that takes more time than is really necessary. You walk in and there’s someone there to greet you at the door, but after that you may not see another staff member at all.

I have a family member that’s in manor care that’s blind and needs assistance with almost everything. She was admitted on February 13, 2020 and on Saturday, February 15th they did get her up and dressed. On Sunday, February 16th I noticed she still had the same outfit on so I asked if she was going to get cleaned up and changed, well of course the nurse that was on staff said of course. I came again on Tuesday, February 18th and she was still in the same clothing, I was furious, well again I was told they was going to change her. I came back on Wednesday, February 19th and there she was with the same outfit on. Finally I told them she was not leaving for dialysis until someone cleaned her up and change her clothing, finally two CNA’s took her in the bathroom and washed her up. This is terrible how she’s being treated. This past Sunday, March 1, 2020 I asked for a manager, finally someone came in and stated she was a manager her name was Shannon, I mentioned to her that they patient needed a shower asap because she’s been a patient at manor care since February 13th and no one thought it would be nice to take her and give her a good shower, her body is very itchy and nasty looking, she assured me that she make a note and have the next shift give her a shower. Time went by so I asked the nurse she assured me that she would get a shower if not that night first thing the next morning which was Monday, March 2nd. She is being neglected just because she can’t see or do anything for herself. I told them she loves playing bingo but need assistance, I was told no problem someone will assist. No one ever, ever, ever came to get her, all they do is leave her sitting in the lobby ALL DAY LONG. She love sitting in front of her tv listening to her programs. She’s totally IGNORED. If you have a love one that cannot do for themselves DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. This place is only for patients that can take care of themselves. Managers do not return phone calls at all. The only person that was nice, truthful and showed concern was the REHAB DOCTOR!
I am a very angry family member!

My sister’s experience with Bridgeview Healthcare Center has been very negative. We’re not pleased with what’s going on there. They’re very slow about responding to requests and she was supposed to get physical therapy, but they stopped it and we were not even aware of it until after that. It’s an older building and the maintenance is average for a nursing home. The last time I was there, the toilet was stuck up and ran over, because somebody else had put a brown paper towel in the toilet. It is typical for what you get in a nursing home, so I’m not surprised about anything that happens in a nursing home.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Evergreen Park, IL
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
