Scheduling was easy, and I was seen within a day or two. Lauren was excellent - she is knowledgeable and patient. She took her time understanding my current limitations and that it was important to me that I be able to run again. I saw her two or three times a week for a month while also doing prescribed exercises at home or the gym daily. And at the end of the month, I was back in business - pain-free, returned to running, and cleared for all activity. Two days after my last appointment - and only four weeks after being non-weight bearing on crutches - I was able to climb 105 flights of stairs in the Sears Tower. If that's not an Athletico success story, I don't know what is!

I'm sorry to say our experience with Whitehall was not a good one. First, the facility is dated and…read moreis in desperate need of repairs to the walls, and it needs to be painted. I only mention this since it's the first impression you get when you go into the facility. The good: the people working there in skilled nursing, physical, and occupational therapy seem to truly care about the patients. There are two main problems: (1) the food is awful, and (2) they don't have enough staff to support the patients. We were there with an older relative who had a knee replacement. She was not able to, or supposed to get up on her own and even needed help to go into the restroom. While we were there the first day, she hit the call button and we waited so long for someone to come to help her, she almost soiled herself. I had to go out of the room and find someone who could assist. The first night she was there, again she hit the call button for restroom assistance. Again, she waited to the point where she got up herself. Of course, someone one day out of knee surgery shouldn't do that, but it was that or soil herself so she got up. She made it to the restroom before she fell, requiring a trip to the ER. The next day, we talked to one of the therapists who explained they had someone call in sick the day before, requiring the facility to move someone off of our floor to a different one. This left her the only person monitoring the patients on our floor. They couldn't keep up with the patients. The next day, we spoke with a manager who contradicted the aide saying she didn't know why we were told they were short staffed and said they weren't. That was when I realized we couldn't rely on them to take care of her and decided she should be moved back to her assisted living facility and hire skilled nursing and physical therapy. I cannot in good conscience recommend Whitehall. I see similar comments in some of the other reviews, which I should have read before placing her there. I am terribly disappointed and even though moving her and hiring the help ourselves was much more expensive, I couldn't keep her in a facility where I couldn't count on the care. Oh - I gave them three stars rather than one or two because of the quality of the therapists. If they weren't good, my rating would have been much lower. Also, I see enough pictures of the facility posted that I didn't think I needed to take any. The ones posted by reviewers are pretty spot on.

I highly recommend Whitehall and especially appreciate the office experience and support we…read morereceived as we helped navigate the kind of services needed to help our mother find skilled nursing care. After our mom fell, we knew that she would need nursing care but we also knew she did not want to live in a nursing home. Whitehall was the perfect place to have her stay as we determined what she needed. Between the physical rehab and care she received there, and the assistance we were provided to manage the insurance and in-home nursing care, we could not have had better care. Caring for parents is so difficult and sometimes it's necessary to take a pause and get the best information possible from people with experience. We are ever so grateful!

Within a few days of leaving Elevate and receiving proper care, he started to make a remarkable recovery - underscoring that Elevate was a toxic environment. Do your research.
