Oak Brook Care

This place is TOTALLY amazing! We chose Oak Brook Care when my aunt needed short-​term rehab after a two-​week hospital stay for the simple reason that no other place we toured came close to it. The others were the same-​old, same-​old: tiny rooms, depressing atmosphere. But this one? It seemed more like a spa than a rehab center! We loved the Town Square and especially, the therapy room because of the huge windows showcasing all the greenery. My husband even remarked that the therapy room reminded him of the exercise room when we were on a cruise.
Her care couldn’t have been better. People were very friendly– to her and to us. Everyone, from the therapists to the nurses to the receptionist had an incredibly helpful and informed attitude. When my aunt went into Oak Brook, she seemed lethargic and but one week later, we could already see measurable progress and she even had made a couple of friends! My aunt got therapy every day and her physical therapists weren’t like drill instructors; they were just so tremendously supportive. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great rehab experience!

At first, we thought the place was great. But the longer she stayed here, the worse her care got. And the worse her health got. My grandmother was staying here because she’s got the beginning signs of Alzheimers. There was more than one occasion that we went to visit and her oxygen tank was totally empty. Another time, she was clearly over medicated and was sleeping for two days. There was always dried food around her mouth, you’d hit the button for a nurse and minutes later, someone would casually walk into the room. Thank God there was never an emergency. They also never came to her room to get her for group activities like movie night or bingo. So my poor grandmother sat alone in her room unless one of us was there visiting. Good thing we visited a lot.
The only nice things I can say is that the ambiance is nice, there is a pretty bird cage when you walk in and the girls at the front desk are always sweet & helpful. The ONLY reason that this place is getting two stars instead of one!
If you love your family, don’t ever make them stay here. And if you MUST, make sure you stay on top of every little thing! Good Luck!
