We have nothing but good to say about the Wauconda center. We transferred my mom to Wauconda after another home in the area left her so dehydrated that she ended up in the ICU for 5 days. The PT, and OT programs are wonderful, my mom has seen a steady improvement over the last three weeks, and the nursing staff is very proactive and is always very helpful. They work with the on staff doctor and will call if there are any issues that come up. (We had this happen twice, and I am grateful for it!)
The food is good quality and there is a nice variety, they even have a salad bar each day in addition to the regular meal choices for lunch and dinner. Breakfast includes the patient’s choice of items including eggs, meat, waffles, pancakes, fruit, etc… (Keep in mind that they also have to follow the person’s diet restrictions)
The patients have many activities available to them and the place is very clean, bright and friendly. As you walk through the center , we see patients gather together for cards, TV shows, etc……
My husband and I visit my mom at least once or twice a day at different hours each time, and we have been very happy with all of the staff and the high level of care she has been getting. (We just wish we had my mom go to Wauconda immediately after she was released from the hospital, instead of having had her go to the other facility first)
