Nursing Home Communities in Sandwich, IL

"Hillside didn't want to take my husband because he was agitated. However, he did stay there for one day. It was short-term. I didn't like it though. My husband wasn't happy either. He wanted to go outside and look for me. When I came back to pick him up, I saw the room was dirty. They need to make the place cleaner. "

"My mom will move to The Pearl at The Tillers, a skilled nursing facility in Oswego. I have visited the place. They have rehab and they also only allow 24 long-term patients. The nursing staff is full during the day and there are two nurses at night so that's one per 12 patients. Compared to other skilled nursing facilities, this was the best fit for my mom because she's going to get more help compared to being in one where there's one nurse for every 30 people. The staff is very welcoming and it's a very nice facility. When you first walk in, there are tables, chairs, and couches with electric fireplaces. They even have a Starbucks there. They have a nice daily menu. Any day my mom can get a cheeseburger, a hot dog, or a slice of pizza. There's a list of 5 or 6 things my mom can get every day if she doesn't want what's on the menu they cook daily. They have different things every day."

"My brother stayed in The Pearl of Orchard Valley for rehab. They were very short of help for the most part, so that was part of the problem. Some of the staff was good, some of the staff was not. He seemed to like the food. The facility wasn't clean all the time. The size of the room was good."

"I just can't say enough about this place. I was doing rehab in Dekalb and felt I was not improving, I was depressed and honestly was giving up. my son moved me to this place and what a difference it made. the staff was honest, kind caring determined, and thoughtful. my food was great and fresh. I was up and moving within weeks. I cant say how thankful I am. Truly the best."

"Super clean atmosphere and super friendly staff loved Coral on the floor she was great with my great aunt"

"Asbury Gardens is nice, but it was kind of far from me. You will get the whole apartment, and it will be nice. It was a little cleaner than the other ones that I saw. The place was big and the decor was very contemporary. I like the environment. The apartment had a little kitchen, but there was no stove. They only have cabinets, a little refrigerator, their own bed, and their own washroom (which I like). The person who gave me the tour was very professional and helpful. They showed me the menu and it was OK. The facility was very clean."

"I toured Alden of Waterford. It was nice. I got there and the lady who helped me was helpful. They have a clubhouse and they have a pool table. They had a little cafeteria area and fireplace, and it was all redone. They had a little golf area outside and a grill. It was nice. I visited the home and it was a two-bedroom, two-bathroom like a townhome there. It was very nice but too much for a friend so she didn't go for it."

"I couldn't recommend a long-term facility more then pine acres.... They were so attentive and loving 2 mi mother-in-law... They treated her and us with full respect... The surroundings were very comfortable....and I would like to thank everyone that was involved in caring for my mother-in-law... Thank you "

"The place was filthy! Residents just sitting around doing nothing. Was in the elevator with a resident that looked and smelled like he just came in off the street.Called to speak to the Director several times, she was never there or always busy. Do not send your loved ones there! "

"My grandma spent her last days here. Everyone at Regency was attentive, kind and so helpful with my 95yo grandma. She was legally blind and didn’t hear the best, and all the staff spoke to her and would explain exactly what they were doing. They took amazing care of her until her last day. Thank you Regency staff for doing God’s work!"

"My husband stayed in Arcadia Care Morris. He was there from the 10th to the 30th. For the first 10 days, our insurance was covered. For the next 10, I had to write two appeals. They were going to charge me $400 a room for him to stay on the therapy side, and then it was like $300 to be in the nursing home side. The nursing home side was dirty. It smelled. I couldn't wait to get him out of there. It was awful. One side is rehab, which was fine, clean, and nice because the people were just there for therapy. The nursing home side is in the same building, but it was unacceptable. I do think that their meals were pretty good. They pretty much kept track because he was diabetic. Their kitchen did a good job in selecting food and changing out things for my husband, so that was good. If you took him out in the wheelchair, there were just some sidewalks. There was a patio with grass as high as your hips. I didn't see anybody take advantage of that other than a couple of workers who would go out there and smoke, but other than that, there was no patio where the people could go out and sit and enjoy. It had a fence around it where the people would be safe, but nobody cut the grass, pulled the weeds, or did anything with it. There was no shade in the front. The building itself looked fine. The building from the outside was brick, and it looked really nice, but once you went inside, the housekeeping, I would give them a one at best. The floors were not even clean, but I did notice their housekeeping was like a couple of young girls. They've got to have somebody a little bit older. They could have wiped the floors up nicely. He didn't participate, but I'm sure they did have things because they had Elvis one afternoon. So, in that department, they did pretty well. Their therapists, both were wonderful, but they were leaving the same week. So, both therapists were going somewhere else. Arcadia is awful. I didn't choose it. It was kind of chosen by the hospital."

"Was in rehab there for three months. Suzanne D. is a great administrator. Had some great nurses and CNA’s but of course some not so great. Having been a patient in two other nursing homes, I was surprised that the rooms weren’t private. Overall a nice facility. Think pay scale could be better and pay could be based on their production. "

"Lakewood Nrsg and Rehab Center was excellent. They have good staffing. They kept my mom clean and they kept her fed as much as they could. The atmosphere was very good. Its location was in good spot too. It was 25 minutes from where I lived. My mom shared a room with a roommate. They kept her room clean. She went to watch a couple of movies, but she wasn't very active at that point. They have movies and bingo. The staff members were awesome."
