Aperion Care Forest Park presents a stark contrast in experiences, with many families reporting severe neglect, unsanitary conditions, and unresponsive nursing staff. While some visitors praise the facility's aesthetic and specific staff members, these positive reviews are frequently overshadowed by recurring reports of residents left in soiled conditions, medication errors, and significant communication failures.

Key Review Excerpts
“My sister has been here for a few Weeks. I had to call and insist on someone going to help her use the bathroom as she said she had been calling for 3 hours for assistance and no one came. Today I arrived at 1:20 to find that she had been laying in her feces all morning.”
“The rooms are not clean and not cleaned daily either. The staff has excuses for reasons why your not getting the care you need, regarding medicaions, food to eat and they have NO milk, cannot get a direct answer on the conditions/improvements of my health status.”
“Aperion Care Forest Park rehabilitation and memory care facility, which saw a rash of heroin overdoses this past summer, racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines from state and federal regulations and failed multiple inspections over the past three years.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
