I had a wonderful visit last month to the Think + Speak Lab on the 25th floor, to participate in a…read morecool brain research study! I think it is fabulous that inpatients of the AbilityLab participate in their therapy sessions right alongside the scientists and clinicians who are doing the research. It was fascinating to see, and to get to be a part of that research, if only for a day or two. The facility is world-renown and I have several friends who have been patients at the AbilityLab for intensive rehab, and had great outcomes and only positive things to say. My only mistake was that I accidentally parked in the wrong parking structure- so be sure to look for the correct signage and park only onsite if you want to get the parking validation discount ($15). Thankfully, the understanding manager of the parking structure next door was very kind when I explained that I accidentally parked in the wrong structure, and she approved that I could have the $15 fee instead of the $70 that I was going to be charged! So be sure to park in the correct location, or it could be a very costly visit!! Oh, and the cafeteria!!! Be sure to stop into the cafeteria for a great meal and the view!! Wow. I can't believe the view. There is a chef who prepares a hot meal and I was able to get take-away for my kid: a huge meal of ribs, mashed potatoes and green beans for just $12. Loved the salad bar, too. Very reasonable prices considering the location.

We travel to Chicago strictly for the care of Dr Hanauer because of the many GI specialist we have tried all across the country (and internationally), no other treatment plan works as well as that of Dr Hanauer. NM Hospital houses many super knowledgeable specialist, but anyone dependent on a service animal can tell you that many hospitals do nothing to help ease the complications and anxieties that come with being hospitalized with your service animal (the other Chicago hospital was unaware of ADA laws and refused to admit with the dog). For example, a Northwestern Patient Services Manager told me I would have to pay for this extremely high priced company to come walk the dog (her idea of support was to give me a paper with numbers of dog services - no help at all), but she never even mentioned the hospitals in-house dog walking volunteers!!! However, Ms LaKisha of Northwestern Memorial has alleviated this source of great fear and anxiety by volunteering to coordinate volunteer staff to come walk the dogs! Ms LaKisha of patient transportation is a legitimate ninja and master of transport services - including finding the time to genuinely care about patients AND service animals. If you have a service animal AND you require the best doctors in the country for ANY form of medical needs, this hospital is well worth the travel - just remember to directly call Patient Transport and ask for Ms LaKisha!!

Although, the nurses casually discuss how they don't like their jobs I can still see hope in this place. I hope this is just a weird week. I know that we all have bad days.

Buckingham is What a Nursing Home is Supposed to Be!…read more When it came time to find a nursing home for my father, I was deeply worried that my Dad's new home wouldn't be sufficiently caring, clean, comfortable or professionally operated. So, I researched well over a hundred nursing homes across Chicago and the suburbs. I am so glad that exhaustive search enabled me to find Buckingham Pavilion! Everyone was caring, understanding, patient and attentive to my Dad's needs. This was true of everyone on the team from the receptionists to the nurses, to the escorts, to the maintenance staff. I was never given any reason to worry about my Dad's level or care or comfort. During my many visits, I saw that he, and the other residents, were happy at Buckingham. Also, my Dad's room, the dining room and all the community spaces were always kept clean and the residents' room were significantly more spacious than at other homes. To top it off, one of the owners I frequently checked in with is not only caring, communicative and professional, but a person of great integrity. I could not be more thankful for everything that everyone at Buckingham did for my Dad and my family.

I can not speak for the food, she was a choking hazard on hospice care.
