Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has been has at Dupage Care Center for 6 months, she started in the rehab area with Suzy and Deni who are the most awesome rehab therapists I have ever seen, then she was admitted into long term care where the people are just as awesome”
“My mother is severely neglected and we are doing our best to relocate her. I have been going there myself to clean her room and bathe her because I refuse to have someone rushing through bathing her.”
“My dad, who suffers from Alzheimers, has lived in the DuPage Care Center for almost a year now. I'm so pleased with the level of care he receives. While the building is nothing fancy, the caregivers and nurses have built a strong, loving and active community.”
