About Nursing Home Care in Orland Park
When it comes to nursing home care in Orland Park, IL, the verdict is clear: families should proceed with caution. While the standout is Smith Crossing, which has maintained a clean record amid the overall troubling landscape, it still holds a Grade F rating. The market here offers limited options, and none of the facilities fully meet the standards families should expect for their loved ones.
For families exploring their choices, it’s essential to consider visiting Smith Crossing, even with its shortcomings, as it has been noted for being relatively well-staffed compared to its peers. However, I must stress that the other two options, Warren Barr Orland Park and Alden Estates of Orland Park, have serious issues that make them less than ideal. Both have faced significant fines, with Warren Barr Orland Park incurring $60K in fines, and Alden Estates at $59K.
In fact, families should outright skip Smith Crossing, Warren Barr Orland Park, and Alden Estates of Orland Park, as all three facilities hold a Grade F rating and have incurred substantial fines. Additionally, if you are serious about finding quality care, I highly recommend looking into facilities in neighboring cities, as Orland Park's nursing homes do not inspire confidence. When visiting any facility, always ask to see their latest inspection reports and inquire about staff turnover rates to better assess the level of care your loved one would receive.
