Overall Review of The Grove of Elmhurst

caveat 15 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odor worries come up

Multiple residents and families describe strong odor, unclean conditions, and clutter in common areas.

Many reviewers raise cleanliness concerns, including descriptions of strong, unpleasant smells and rooms or hallways that felt unclean or cluttered. Some write about pests or leftover food/soiled items, while others mention dirty bathrooms or overflowing issues tied to the facility’s upkeep. A smaller set of reviews also highlight cleanliness in positive terms, but the negative comments are frequent enough that cleanliness seems to vary by visit or unit.

caveat 15 reviews mention this

Staffing and call-light responsiveness

Residents and families report staffing strain, call-light delays, and lots of agency coverage.

A recurring theme is inconsistent staffing and trouble getting timely help. Several reviewers describe overwhelmed conditions, delayed response to call lights, and concerns that agency staff are being used heavily. Others also report specific communication breakdowns—such as staff not being aware of a transfer or delayed medication/therapy—reinforcing the idea that care can feel slow or hard to coordinate day to day.

common 7 reviews mention this

Food quality is a mixed point

Dining reviews split between praised meals and claims of poor food quality.

Some reviews describe food positively, including group dining experiences and meals that residents could enjoy on special diets. Other reviewers say the food was horrible or served as unappealing “slop,” and a few mention what they viewed as unhealthy or inadequate mealtime support. The community does offer restaurant-style dining and supports special dietary restrictions, which aligns with why dining shows up in both positive and negative accounts.

  • A modern dining area with neatly arranged tables and chairs, adorned with wall art.
caveat 5 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy timelines

Reviews describe both progress with therapy and problems with therapy timing.

Several reviewers say physical therapy helped residents regain strength or independence during their stay. Others describe therapy being paused or delayed, including cases where physical therapy was canceled or not provided as expected and where therapy did not resume on the timeline families were told. These differing experiences suggest therapy support may depend on the resident’s needs and scheduling.

common 4 reviews mention this

Activities and social events matter

Group activities and community events get positive mentions from families.

Some reviewers highlight group activities and social opportunities, including events with music and celebrations. Others mention activity spaces on each floor and that staff encourage residents to be social when possible. The community also lists scheduled daily activities and planned day trips, which matches why activities show up as a practical, day-to-day topic in reviews.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Pricing feels high to some

Some families describe the pricing as a burden, while another reviewer compares it favorably to other options.

One reviewer says the community is priced less than other places they looked at, framing it as a relief during admission planning. In contrast, another reviewer focuses on the cost and the feeling that residents are treated as “a fading number” rather than people. Overall, pricing is a clear point of disagreement among reviewers, with the community’s rates also positioned as above county and state benchmarks across unit types.
