This is the second time my family member has stayed at the Willows, and we couldn't be more…read moregrateful! After a stay at a more advanced rehab facility where she unfortunately experienced complications, we didn't hesitate to send her back to the Willows--even though it meant an hour and a half drive sometimes! The only reason she left this time was because she wanted to be closer to her children, but honestly, I've had family members in other facilities, some with more advanced programs, and none compare to the Willows. From the moment you walk in, there's never any foul odors--it's always clean and fresh. But more than that, the people here truly care! They are genuinely concerned about the health and well-being of their residents, and their communication is outstanding. For anyone looking for a place to take a loved one, I can't recommend the Willows in Valparaiso, Indiana enough. You all should be the standard for how nursing homes should operate. Thank you all so much for everything you've done for my family! ---

I would not bring the neighbor's dog that barks all night long to this facility. The staff is rude,…read morethey lie,incompetent, and the facility is filthy. Our father was not being given his PT until my sibling started coming in every day to over see the PT. We would come in 2 hours after breakfast and he was still in the filthy dining area slumped over in his wheel chair with an orange juice drenched t-shirt. We came in on a holiday to find our father's mouth bloody. No one knew a thing and the next day we spoke to the DON and asked to see an incident report. There was not one??? Convenient because they documented everything he did wrong. We tried to move him to a different facility after 2 days. They red flagged him so no one else would take him. After it became apparent to us that something serious was wrong, we called 911(by the way the DON said we could not do that). According to hospital records he was severely dehydrated and severely malnourished. He also suffered permanent kidney damage due to the dehydration. I pray for those other patients who were laying in the same bed, same spot, being neglected, No one should ever be treated this way! I wish I could give negative stars

I was going here for years but the technician that was taking my blood left the company. When I…read morewent in the next time, she was gone and the owner offered to take my blood but after three (3) attempts, she gave up and I was told she couldn't accommodate me. I found her behavior towards me be extremely rude and crass. Apparently, she may own the place however she came across as very envious of her former medical technician that built a rapport with her clients that the owner is incapable of serving either medically or professionally. I was appalled by her ignorant comments about her former employee's tattoos... Like why'd you hired her in the first place, if her tattoos were such an issue? Don't demean an excellent technician just because you can't match her expertise in the field so you attack her appearance!? If this owner ever snaps at you because her inadequacies have been revealed and she can't handle it, give it right back to her and walk out the front door. I had a horrible experience here. I was not treated properly. I therefore do not recommend Healthchek. She is a nasty person!

Kristy is super nice and personable. I have been here twice for bloodwork and I find their prices…read moreremarkably inexpensive, excellent for those without insurance or need more cost-effective testing than insurance will cover. The facility is located in a shared space in downtown Streator. I usually park in the front in the street, but I believe there is additional parking behind the building. It is super clean in the business, and you just fill out your information and you're in and out. If you sign up for their newsletter they will send you monthly specials which is what prompted me to come back a second time. The specials are so good! Kristy was very careful during the blood draw and I felt like I was a valued customer. You will want to check their website before coming in (no appointments) because their hours are limited. Results are sent to you in a couple days, super fast in my opinion, and you can have them sent to your personal email if you wish. You also do not need to have a doctor's order to get a test, you can come in and tell them specifically which test(s) you want. Best value for labs in the area in my opinion.

I recently visited the Franciscan Emergency Department in Crown Point after falling off my scooter…read more I want to start by saying that the medical staff who cared for me were excellent. PA Shawn was kind, professional, and did a great job explaining everything and treating my injuries. Liz, the X-ray technician, was also very friendly and made the imaging process easy. The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. The bathroom was also clean. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of some parts of the emergency department. I noticed noticeable blood stains on the mayo stand and on the floor in my treatment area, along with visible hair. There was also a bug flying around near the patient rooms. In the waiting area, several chairs had noticeable stains. I also noticed a Chick-fil-A cup in a trash can and full trash bags sitting in the emergency department for the entire time I was there. Seeing food containers and accumulated trash in patient care areas gave the impression that housekeeping could be improved. The care I received from the staff was great, and I'm thankful for everyone who helped me.
