My mom's experience at Alden was truly transformative. When she first entered, we were all concerned about her recovery journey. However, the team at Alden provided exceptional care and support every step of the way. The therapists were skilled and compassionate, creating a personalized rehabilitation plan that addressed her specific needs. The nurses and drs were attentive and always went the extra mile to ensure her comfort. It wasn't just about physical therapy; they also focused on her emotional and mental well-being. The facility itself was clean, comfortable, and conducive to healing. My mom thrived in the positive and encouraging environment. Today, she's doing amazing! She has regained her independence and is back to enjoying life to the fullest. We are incredibly grateful to the entire staff at Alden for their dedication and expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone seeking top-notch rehabilitation services. It's more than just a facility; it's a place where healing happens.

Thank you very much Maribelle and team at the Alden of Barrington! The support of mom and the communication with me was great! Also, Thomas and PT team worked with mom to strengthen her and thus meet her goals to get back home.

Alden in Barrington has been a blessing for our parents. They’ve been here for a couple years and their health has actually improved since being here. The staff is amazing. They’re very compassionate, caring, and understanding. Everyone takes time to learn about our customs and religious needs and accommodates as much as possible. They celebrate various cultural traditions and beliefs by putting up decorations throughout the year to honor them. The director, Farhad Gul, has genuine concern for the residents and staff. He goes out of his way to help the staff achieve the goals to the best of his abilities and even achieve their 2nd year in a row of perfect survey from the State of Illinois! The Nurses (Chanel, Yunus, Ness, among many others) and CNA's (Lesly, Andrea, Claudia, and many others) take great care of all the residents understanding their individual needs. They are willing to understand and accommodate to the best of their abilities. In addition, there is physical and occupational therapy onsite to ensure residents are getting proper treatment during their stay. The activities staff including Sheri, Sue, Lidia, and the others go out of their way to include all residents in various activities and make them feel part of the community. They help outside organizations such as Rotary clubs, various nonprofits and religious groups come and interact with the residents and do fun daily activities such as: wheelchair exercises, coloring, crafts, games, trivia, movies, among other fun activities. The religious community is also active hosting Wednesday church services and Friday sermons/Jummah service & prayers to all who want to participate. The cooking staff ensures the dietary guidelines to ensure they are given what’s allowed. The cleaning staff does a great job to ensure their rooms and all areas are kept clean. Maintenance does a good job getting things in place and fixing anything that may need to be repaired or replaced. Laundry staff ensures all laundry gets done daily and put the clothes back neatly into closets and drawers. The landscaping beautifies the property and allows the residents to enjoy the outdoors with a pond full of fish and turtles. The outside appearance resembles a resort. Outdoor flowers, vegetable garden, and patio allows for residents to see growth of nature and the bird houses throughout give a naturist atmosphere so residents feel comfortable and relaxed. If you have a loved senior in your life who needs that extra love and care, I would highly recommend Alden in Barrington.

We have had a very positive experience at Alden Estates of Barrington. A loved one was admitted there following a severe stroke, and could not breathe, eat, swallow, stand, speak, or move on his own. He will be going home soon, having resolved all of those issues. The facility is kept clean, the staff is friendly and supportive, and the medical providers are very kind and confident. My special commendation goes to the administrative staff, who, on the rare occasions we have had concerns, have been immediately responsive. I strongly recommend this facility if you have a loved one that needs care.
