Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Oswego, IL
Churchill Place in Glen Ellyn, IL
5.0 / 5.0

Based on our experience I would recommend. So far everything has been very good no problems and everyone has been great and easy to work with.

Silver Glen Senior Living in South Elgin, IL
4.7 / 5.0

I would definitely recommend Silver Glen Senior Living to others. The facility itself is great, the rooms are really nice, and everyone seems so nice and welcoming. Another great thing they have is they work with a company that provides Physical therapy, Speech and OT on the premises.. so we've been taking advantage of that with my mom. So convenient to have that in-house and not have to drive to appointments!

Bella Terra Bloomingdale
4.6 / 5.0

Excellent caring staff. The food was always hot and fresh. Excellent chef as all of the food is made right there on premises. The nurses and aides were very caring and attentive to our needs. Great therapy team. The facility is immaculate I would highly recommend this facility
