Lutheran Home

I have mixed feelings about this place. My grandmother-​in-​law is there, and she is very happy. She loves the activities and social aspects of the home. The staff is usually attentive and takes good care of her. She even says the food is good!
My only problem is that the place costs roughly $ 10,000 a month. She has been there for 4 years, and has drained her savings, stocks/​bonds, the money she got from selling her home; basically every penny she had. It’s not like the Garlands of Barrington as far as class and sophistication go, so I really think they are over charging Seniors.

I have been coming here since I was a little kid and I can say that this is probably the cleanest nursing home I have ever been to. The staff is very friendly and competent. The amenities are always kept clean. They are in the process of remodeling and have put up another building. I would definitely recommend this nursing home over any other in the area. They also have a great group of doctors and nurse practitioners that work there. Talk to the staff to get a better idea of which doctor fits your needs.

Sadly, my grandmother fell last week and basically shattered her humerus, so when she is released from Northwest Community, she will need to go into a rehab facility.
On Sunday, me, Mom, and Dad went to look at the brand new MyRehab facility at Lutheran Home/​Luther Village. It has literally been open weeks.
We were given a tour by Dave, their Marketing Coordinator. He was very empathetic to our situation and got all of the important information from us.
While MyRehab at Luther Village isn’t the most posh place (the rooms are pretty sterile) it is certainly one of the cleanest nursing/​rehab facilities I’ve seen. Rooms are private with private bath, and individual temperature controls. Orthopedic rehab is done daily.
At this point in time, Luther Village is our first choice for her rehab, based on first impressions alone. I’d say that speaks pretty highly of them.

I like this place. It is unfortunate what happened to the woman with the maggot infestation, and no excuses can make up for it, but every time I go there to visit, the staff is friendly, it appears clean and the patients I visit there are happy with their care.

Really clean environment with plenty of amenities and care centers for all needs. Well trained employees to answer all your questions, respectful to the elderly. Valet parking when it’s raining is a plus. With the brand new building opening soon, I feel like Lutheran Home and their center are going to be leading the game in the suburbs.

A 90 year old tenant paying 10,000 dollars a month, was recently found to have 50 maggots in her ear. Already awful, their response was ‘the staff didn’t do anything wrong’ rather than ‘that’s terrible’. She cannot speak, and family noticed her tugging at her ear. Its the neglect that leads up to this, that is horrific.
