I look back at Ignite with mostly positive feelings. The room may not have been beautiful, but was reasonably quiet and quite clean. I thought that the nursing staff, the diet staff and the physical therapy associates were good. When I started physical therapy, I could barely take one step before my blood pressure would drop into the "danger zone". When I left, I very proudly walked 150 feet with a walker. They also taught me some life skills like getting in and out of a bath tub. Going up and down stairs. Even how to eat and swallow. Since being home, my progress has continued to improve. I can walk two miles without any aids. I can drive. I can eat without gagging. I no longer require dialysis. I can live a normal life and that has a great deal of value. Special thanks to Alexa, Anna, Bianca, Joanna, Jeff, Nick, Ray and Wendy for their kindness and humanity.

Before you trust Ignite Medical Resort Hanover Park with someone you love, please read this review…read more If my family had known then what we know today, we never would have placed our father at Ignite. During my father's 26-day stay, someone from our family was with him a minimum of 12 hours every single day. We weren't relying on updates from staff. We were there. We saw what happened. We asked questions. We took notes. We advocated for him every single day. Even with that level of involvement, we constantly found ourselves stepping in because things weren't getting done. Call lights went unanswered. My father's call button wasn't always within his reach when he needed help. Medications were left unattended at his bedside. Delays in care became routine enough that we felt we had to monitor what should have been basic responsibilities. We questioned the wound care he received, medications that were administered without anyone discussing potentially serious side effects, and decisions that never seemed to be fully explained to our family. Over time, the hardest part wasn't just watching his condition decline. It was watching him lose trust in some of the people responsible for caring for him. By the end of his stay, the overnight hours were the ones he feared most because he didn't believe someone would come when he needed help. I've attached one of the photographs we took immediately after removing the bandages from my father's foot after he left Ignite. It is one of many reasons our family still has unanswered questions about the care he received. After my father passed away, we didn't immediately write this review. Instead, we spent weeks reviewing hundreds of pages of medical records, organizing our notes, and preparing a detailed executive review because we believed Ignite's leadership would want to understand what happened. We also made sure to recognize the nurses, therapists, CNAs, and support staff who treated my father with kindness and compassion because they deserved to be recognized. Our review was sent directly to CEO Tim Fields. Amy Hammond, Vice President of Operations, contacted our family and met with us, along with Heintje Miranda, Vice President of Clinical Operations. Amy assured us she would investigate every concern we raised, answer our questions, provide the records we requested, and make sure no other patient experienced what our father had experienced. We left that meeting believing we would finally get answers. Instead, the deadline came and went. I sent a detailed follow-up email listing every document we had been promised, every unanswered question, and every commitment discussed during our meeting. We never received a response. No records were provided. No findings were shared. No explanation was offered. Communication simply stopped. There were employees at Ignite who treated my father with genuine kindness, and our family will always be grateful to them. This review is not about those individuals. It is about the care my father received, the questions that remain unanswered, and the complete lack of accountability from the people responsible for leading this organization. If this is how Ignite responds to a family that was present every day, documented everything, and genuinely wanted answers, I can't imagine what happens to families who aren't able to advocate the way ours did. My family will never again trust Ignite Medical Resorts with someone we love.

In my very first physical therapy session, Faye diagnosed the problem as coming from my spine, L-3 and L-4. She gave me several exercises to do and emphasized correcting my posture.

The rooms are large enough to be comfortable and patients who are able to walk on their own are free to do so. She is treated like a person rather than a prisoner. The physical therapy she received was top-notch and the therapists and nurses are professional and caring. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there was a little bit of confusion with scheduling patient care meetings and the front desk put the wrong first name in the system which caused a little confusion on her first day. It was easy to fix. The rest of it was high quality. I thought my mother would beg me to take her home after a day or two but she was comfortable enough to want to stay and complete her therapy. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here myself if I ever have the need.

But this Facility apparently was done with me. I understand going down to one day a week sessions, but what I couldn't understand was, why the deceit or run around. On July 05 at the end of my session I asked the receptionist if we could schedule my next round of appointments. She informed me my therapist wanted to discuss with me going down to one day (he was unexpectedly off after the Holiday) on Monday so she wanted to wait until I talked to him. So after my session on Monday I went up to her desk again and asked to schedule more appointments; this day she told me she couldn't schedule (apparently from Fri. - Mon. her story changed), anymore appointments as I needed to get approved first. I asked her. Approved from Who ? My therapist had mentioned the potential of Medicare being an issue. I informed I have TWO insurances and Medicare is Not my Primary, (in which they have this info.) they basically have nothing to do with this. So she says, hold on let me go check and she walked into the back, returning to tell me to call in 3-4 days to see if an approval came in. Again I asked approval from Who? (I know my 2 insurances were still covering this) She proceeded to say I had to wait for the Manager and due to the Holiday (4th of July), she is running behind so give her a few days. Really, this is how they operate? Knowing my insurance was still paying (& I even called them both to verify what I already knew), I called to schedule more appointments the next day. This particular women scheduled Two sessions for me and informed she was allowed to only schedule Two. (This was the very next day After the in house receptionist didn't want to be bothered scheduling the two allowed.) Then I was assured someone would call me to make the next set of appointments as soon as I was approved for more. She couldn't tell me either WHO exactly this so called approval was coming from. So I waited and waited, no one called. Plus the 2 I did get scheduled were 2.5 to 3 weeks away. Why does an established patient need to wait almost 3 weeks to get more sessions started? As I never heard back from anyone, I went elsewhere. But on July 22nd I received a phone call from Northwestern asking if I could take an appointment time available That day due to a cancelation. I informed I never had received a call to schedule more sessions and she informs me that they Are Indeed scheduled. I asked How? She then tells me her co-worker scheduled them for me. I asked, without talking to me? She sounded embarrassed and could only say her co worker must have thought she'd discuss it with me when I came in. I'd like to know if I couldn't do any of those days was I going to have to wait another 3 weeks to get in? So apparently it's the management who decides who's worthy of their time, they can push aside existing patients to allow room for New patients, so beware. Actually there is no really concern or care for their patients. I tried to send a letter to upper management but was only able to find a Patient Relations department for the hospital. I explained to her I did not want to discuss this with the local Bloomingdale office as they were the cause. She said she'd pass my name onto the next in charge. I never heard back, I sent a note telling the Patient Relations person that I didn't want to leave a bad review because I didn't want it to reflect poorly on my two therapists. Still I never heard from anyone. Now looking back at that environment I can truly say if you have a major issue this is not the best place to go. It's a large facility set up badly, i wanted to discuss the safety issues but no one wanted to call me and there were the bike that was positioned too close to it. Another time I had to use the Pullies directly after someone stopped using them (only one set !) Same thing with the armbike: None of the equipment is wiped off after use. No disenfective wipes are available in the therapy rooms for the Patient to wipe down. I saw a lot of Elderly people here, covid may not be raging but germs always exist. This facility has no weight bars for use and about daily I was given a Cane to use that surely was never wiped off from me or the last person who used it before me. My therapist attached a weight to the cane in which the velcro on the ends was worn down and it dangled over my face. When is it just going to fall apart onto someone's face? That's not all about the safety issues I spotted there but I'll just say I looked down when I walked I'm obviously highly disappointed in Northwestern but I think now they did me a favor because I'm in a much better place.

I especially would like to thank Kristen, the head of the physical therapy. She got me back on my feet and with her help, I got my confidence back regarding my walking without assistance from a walker or cane. The CNA's that worked meal time were great and a big thank you to Rosie who could make my bed faster than anyone I have ever met. I would also like to thank Antonio, my night nurse, for his exceptional care and concern for my recovery. Overall, my experience at Alden's was a five star experience. Thanks to all the staff members who made my stay enjoyable. May I also compliment your food service which provided delicious and healthy meals. I will recommend Alden to my friends and relatives. Thank you once again for getting me ready to go home quickly and with great care for my safety, Barbara V.

They enjoyed their patients and responded nicely to them. Family were able to ask questions and got responses. This is NOT JUST ONE family with the following. You talk with others while there: The "Social Worker " is not certified from what I was told. Rolando, is USELESS. He says he will help find a place once the patient is leaving. He DID NOT. We had to push, ask questions, meet, etc. NOTHING was really offered. He finally said he had phone numbers to give us. That piece of paper with 10 facilities on it, was USELESS. I found 2 to be possibilities but those didn't pan out. On most, there is no distinction which are rehab, asst living, nursing. WHY THEY HIRE SOMEONE in this position, I do NOT understand. Anyone can hand out a paper or cards and leave if up to the family. He DID NOT make call/connections for us. He did tell us that they have info for those WHO CAN PAY which I figure is probably their 1st or 2nd floor residents. BE CAREFUL as Rolando will have an exit date. IF it is NOT reasonable, speak up. He was going to send MOM home by AMBULANCE as she was not mobile. I asked what we do once she arrives. He then changed the date. She was able to walk with assistance when she left on a later date. So, the patient is treated well, and rehab is good. IF you have lots of money to cover for residence afterwards, it's probably OK. However, there are even NICER places if you search ALDEN, Arbor Terrace in Naperville, Sunrise, some of the Heritage Woods, Asbury Gardens, Victory Center of Bartlett. Research and find one.

Due to the global pandemic, our application and move-in process was complicated and delayed, so our family was very stressed. I cannot say enough positive words about Starr and Vicki. They communicated with me regularly throughout the process to ease my stress and offer comfort. Even now, a few months after Dad's move-in, they still email or text me just to say hello and see how my Dad and the rest of the family is doing. These two women are kind and compassionate, and they truly helped our family through a very difficult time! There were times when I felt discouraged, so I would call Starr because I knew that her positive encouragement would make me feel better. She even called Dad to encourage him when I was worried that he was getting disconsolate. Now Dad is settled in at Victory Centre and he is very happy! He tells me that everyone is so kind and helpful. He says that the food is very good and he is happy with his apartment. He told me that it is perfect for him because he has privacy and independence in his own space, but he feels safe with the regular check-ins. He put it this way: "the staff makes themselves quietly known throughout the day." The staff is kind and they treat the residents with respect. I have been able to relax knowing that his medications are administered on time every day and he is being well cared for. The staff communicated with me regularly about my dad, and I have had wonderful conversations with Lora and others. One last note, we really appreciate that Victory Centre is taking the global pandemic seriously. They are taking every necessary precaution to keep their residents, caregivers, and staff safe! In comparing numbers of cases at local facilities, it is obvious that Victory Centre is taking the right precautions. I miss my Dad, and I wish that I could go and hang out with him in his apartment, but I know that he is in excellent hands! The caregivers and staff at Victory Centre are true heroes and wonderful human beings!

We have monthly meetings with the Culinary Manager to discuss complains and improvements that residents have without action. Housekeeping and CNAs enter apartments without knocking or requesting admittance. The people who man the desk seldom know the answer to any question. There is no exercise room that residents can use. The turnover in staff is a concern as well as the training of new staff seems inadequate at best. Management appears to be oblivious to resident's needs. The carpeting in my hallway is filthy and badly stain due to a roof leak that has never been cleaned. There seems to be an overall lack of training in housekeeping and CNA responsibilities, due to the fact that they all seem to work independently and without direction.
