I'm sharing this because families deserve to know the truth about the systemic failures and…read morefinancial incentives that can compromise the care of their loved ones. My mother, Joanne Geraci, passed away on December 6, 2024, after being failed by both Central DuPage Hospital (CDH) and Monarch Landing Skilled Nursing Facility. We were assured that my mom, who was non-ambulatory, oxygen-dependent, and required assistance with basic needs, was being transferred from CDH to Monarch Landing for rehabilitation--not hospice or end-of-life care. This assurance gave us hope, but it soon became clear that this transfer was less about her recovery and more about financial and logistical incentives for both institutions. Here's What Happened: 1. CDH's Role: * My mom was discharged from CDH in critical condition despite being on flagged medication (morphine sulfate) that exceeded safe dosing guidelines due to her renal impairment. This medication likely masked her true condition, enabling her transfer. * CDH presented the transfer as a step toward rehabilitation, but they failed to communicate or execute a clear care plan. It feels like they prioritized clearing her from their facility over ensuring her safety. 2. Monarch Landing's Role: * Monarch Landing accepted her transfer despite lacking the resources to care for someone in her condition. She was placed in a room without basic safety measures like bed alarms or guard rails. * Within hours of arriving, my mom was found face-up, naked, and unresponsive on the floor of her room, without her oxygen cannula. 3. Financial Incentives Over Care: * Skilled nursing facilities like Monarch Landing have financial incentives to accept patients like my mom under Medicare reimbursement programs. However, they are not required to prove they can meet the patient's specific needs, creating a dangerous gap in care. * CDH likely benefited financially by discharging my mom to a subacute facility rather than keeping her in the hospital to stabilize further or await the delivery of her prescribed Tyvaso therapy. Why This Matters: My family was misled by both institutions. We trusted that my mom would receive care focused on her recovery and dignity. Instead, she was sent into a situation where her needs were ignored, and she died in undignified and preventable circumstances. If your loved one is a patient at CDH or being considered for transfer to Monarch Landing: * Demand clarity about their care plan and condition. Don't allow vague assurances. * Question whether the receiving facility is equipped to meet their needs. Don't assume they are prepared. * Be aware of the financial incentives at play. Ask why a transfer is being recommended and whether it truly serves the patient's best interests. Families deserve better than this. My mom's life mattered, and I will continue to fight for transparency, accountability, and systemic change so no other family endures this pain. Sincerely, Joe G.

When my grandmother was in transition, she displayed the following symptoms which included an inability to eat, inability to move, inability to take medication, inability to speak, and inability to open her eyes. She was on her deathbed which was provided by Hospice. Somebody named Donna stated to me "Your grandmother is not in transition, and therefore you are not allowed to spend the night with your grandmother." At 2:20AM that very night, my grandmother passed away. HarborChase does not adhere to what they communicate to their members. This is a place of dishonesty.

They made her feel special, like they were waiting for her to arrive. My Mom lived at Sunrise the last few months of her life. It was hard to have her move out of our home, but Sunrise couldn't have been more wonderful to her. It offered her a nice social life, my Mom was always the life of the party! She enjoyed her friends and finally engaged in a sport, Balloon Volleyball (I think the first sport activity she ever did as an adult). My Mom loved to eat out in restaurants and the dining room was run like a restaurant with a multitude of items to order. The food is good and they were accommodating with special requests. The staff is amazingly kind and truly seem to care about the residents. Jen and Stephanie are the main administrators and they lead a wonderful staff who took great care of my Mom.

She was resistant to being anywhere but with family so moving her to Cordia produced a lot of anxiety for her. Thankfully, the wonderful staff at Cordia - from the lobby workers to the maintenance workers to the amazing dining room staff - all worked their magic to make her feel treasured and safe. Personally, I see that the staff at Cordia are very satisfied working with the senior residents there. I engage in conversations with them and am grateful for their kindness and respect for the residents and for each other. Cordia has a wonderful line-up of daily activities and they also have special activities for holidays. I'm super pleased to see my mom engaging in different activities that she never had done before Cordia. For example, I used to try to have her do chair workouts with me but she had always refused. Now at Cordia, she's down in the workout room at least 3 times a week!!! I think Cordia has given her new life! She was always very anxious about food owing to issues with onions and other spices, but has had no problems at all since at Cordia. She loves their food! I'm very, very pleased with Cordia. I highly recommend this senior living facility!
