My mother has been at this nursing home for five years now, and this place has helped her so much. After suffering a stroke that left her right side paralyzed, the care and support she has received have meant everything to our family. I am truly grateful for everything the team does for her. Denise is one of the nurses who calls me every week with updates about my mom, and that means more than words can express. From the nurses to the laundry lady—who is always so sweet—it is clear that there are people here who truly care. Thank you so much for all that you do for my mother!

My family member was only there a short time but it was a place to relax and not be in a hospital. As staff was very helpful and they do know their positions. This resident knew she was of a very old age but needed to be safe and not feel like she was soo sick to never leave a hospital. The staff listened to any questions and were always willing to send messages to other departments. Living the best you can is for all ages and what I look for is the final gifts that the elderly do show us as they age and when the don't have a family member there alittle or alot. Nursing Care Centers are for 24 hour care,to make friends, to assist the elderly from being taken advantage of by others ( sometimes in their own homes ) and to be able to watch the seasons in a safe environment and to have HOPE. Without the dedication of staff ( nursing, facility doctors, office and administrative staff including people like housekeeping and maintenance staff ) this portion of our community often don't have the day to day contacts that younger people in a community have just in simple tasks like going to a store,greeting neighbors and/ or church persons. Their needs are small but communication can make it difficult so a phone call antmy time of day or night can help. Days in a CareCenter have alot of activity and appointments that can be a lot for staff and residents but it's also good to remember that residents may have quiet weekends sometimes a visit or sending a person to speak to them from outside of the facility can help also. I have seen flowers sent,cards and the persons from local churches reach people that may just need one person who can see them regularly to know that they aren't alone in their feelings. Nursing CarCenters can not replace memories of family but if you take the time to speak to some residents by visiting you may be surprised that they appreciate the safety, seeing people that are familiar with and knowing that these people have a big heart to that can reach out with a hello when they start their day and when they end their day. The vast majority of persons in long term care know they need safety and they can feel that it is being accomplished there. For persons who think they can't ever make an error - beware of judging others lest you be judged. There are opportunities even at the high school level for students to learn about the gift of intergenerationak relationships . There are certainly young people who don't always someone there for them to listen to. There are many organizations in any community who have opportunities for all ages to bring a smile to someone who may not have anyone to see them or listen to the them. Have a Hopeful and Good Holiday season however you celebrate!

My mom has been at Aperion Care Fox River for just over two weeks. The care, attention and love she and my family has received from each and every staff member has been amazing. This is never an easy time for families and sometimes overwhelming to navigate. Aperion Care management, physical therapists, nurses, CNA’s, social services, activities staff has opened their hearts to our family and my Mom making the transition smooth and as easy as it can possibly be. My mom is being cared for like I never imagined she would be. We are so grateful we found them!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From Greg to the PT team, activities manager, therapists, nurses, and aides—my mother-in-law’s care has been outstanding. Communication is always clear, and they consistently call with updates or questions. They do what they say they will, which gives our family great peace of mind. The full-time, tenured staff truly shine here—you can tell they care deeply about the residents. The facility is always clean and well maintained. We’re so grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown every day.

My friend’s mother (who’s like a second mom to me) has been at Aperion Care for a while now . She was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago, and moving her into a facility was one of the hardest decisions our family had to make. Thankfully, Aperion Care has made that transition so much easier for all of us. The staff are incredibly patient, compassionate, and well-trained. They understand her and know how to redirect her gently when she becomes confused. They take the time to talk with her, even when she repeats the same stories or questions. That kindness means the world to us. I also appreciate how well they communicate with families. The nurses provide regular updates about her health, and they’re always open to questions. When her medications needed adjusting, they handled it promptly and explained everything clearly. Caring for someone requires patience, empathy, and consistency — and Aperion Care truly delivers. We have peace of mind knowing Mom is safe, comfortable, and treated with dignity every single day. I highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for compassionate people to take care of your love ones.
