What this means for your family
Elmhurst offers a clean, modern environment with an excellent admissions team and effective rehab therapy, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, families should be aware of consistent reports regarding slow response times to call lights, particularly at night. We strongly recommend visiting during off-hours and asking specifically about the nurse-to-patient ratio on the night shift before committing.

300 reviews on Google“Elmhurst Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center receives high praise for its clean, modern facility and a dedicated admissions and administrative team that helps families navigate the intake process. However, there is a stark divide in experiences regarding nursing care, with multiple reports of slow response times to call buttons, neglect of basic hygiene needs, and inconsistent night-shift supervision. While many families are satisfied with the rehab therapy and professional staff, others have raised serious concerns about patient safety and communication failures.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility had a clean and inviting atmosphere, w/ spacious rooms with a view. The center is dedicated to assisting individuals in regaining their independence through a wide range of services, including rehabilitation programs and various in-house therapies.”
“My mother has only been here a couple months but I have watched all phases of her health mental, physical and emotional improve since arriving at Elmhurst. They have daily activities for the residents and other events from week to week.”
“My father was there recovering from having falls… and was considered a “fall risk”… while he was there… he fell out of bed… he used the call button, but NO ONE came!! He called my mother from his cell phone at 3:00am, while he was still on the floor!!!”
