"My stay at Alden North Shore exceeded my expectations. My physical and emotional needs were met in all respects. The staff guided and reassured me at all stages regarding the details of my rehab program, and the nurses gave thoughtful care at all times. The Physical Therapy staff is professional, dedicated and caring. With their help, I was able to achieve my rehab goals. I plan to return to Alden in the future for another successful rehab stay following a second knee replacement surgery."

"I was anxious when I was told I needed rehab following surgery but I am so happy to say that the staff at Alden North Shore is the best. Everyone is professional and they always seem ready and willing to assist at anytime. The therapists are the best around. They take into account your pain level while supporting you physically and emotionally. I highly recommend the food, which is prepared according to what you want to eat and is served to you as if you are in a five-star restaurant. I wholeheartedly recommend Alden to anyone who is looking for a rehab facility. If you come to Alden, you will receive the best care and when you leave, you will have all of the information you need to successfully transition back to home."

"It has been with some sadness that at the age of 69 I had to have a complete right hip replacement. However, it was with much joy that I came to Alden North Shore for my rehabilitation. The staff – nurses, managers, caretakers, therapists – have all been exceptional. They seem to care about you not only as a patient but as a person. And, I have to mention that the food is fabulous!"

"Alden North Shore has been like an extended family for my mom and me — the care, support and genuine love we receive from the staff on a daily basis makes it easier to cope with some of the health care challenges we face."
Georgia K., Daughter of a Current Resident
Skokie Resident
"My mom was at Alden North Shore for over four years before she passed away. During her time at the facility, she received the best care possible. Everyone – nurses, CNAs, kitchen staff, maintenance staff – helped her and saw to her needs. The nursing staff was always patient with her, even when she was at her most difficult. They not only fed and bathed her but they also loved her. The day before she died, everyone came in the room to say goodbye even though she wasn't even aware of her surroundings. The staff at Alden North Shore has become my family over the years and I could not have gotten through such a trying time without them. They helped me in every way possible and were very compassionate and understanding.
"Due to the exceptional care my mother received, we admitted my husband, who has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, to Alden North Shore in March 2005. Just as I knew he would, he receives the same wonderful care my mother received."

In the nearly five years that I've worked here, I have established many close relationships with our patients and residents. Thanks to my faith, I view my job as not merely work but as a means by which I can help and serve others."
Emilio M. Nicolasin, Jr.

"I truly enjoy working here – in fact, I left for another job but returned when I realized how much I missed my ‘Alden family.’ Everyone works so diligently to do the best they can to meet our patients’/residents’ needs. I am honored to work alongside so many wonderful people."
Mary V. Horvath
Resident Care Coordinator
"I enjoy working in the long-term care field and especially at Alden North Shore. I have been here for seven years and find the staff to be loyal, dedicated and hard-working. Additionally, the teamwork among everyone is a key factor in the facility’s success and our high customer satisfaction ratings."
Jenny Quinto
Clinical Support Supervisor
"I am proud to be a member of the Alden North Shore staff. I have worked here for six years and notice that the care and comfort of our patients is a top priority throughout the whole facility. Patients repeatedly report they are satisfied with their care and they always seem to recommend Alden North Shore as a place to receive personalized, high-quality care."
Marek Chromniak
Supervisor, Rehabilitation/Therapy Department
"Since 1999 when Alden North Shore opened, I have been impressed with the level of care provided to patients. Operating as a nursing home and acute rehabilitation center, the facility has consistently maintained a level of clinical excellence. Many of my patients and their family members have remarked on the beauty of the facility and the caring attitude of the nursing staff. The architects and interior designers have made it feel more like a hotel than a nursing home, which creates a healing environment. Alden North Shore really is one of the top-ranked rehabilitation facilities in the North Shore area. As a physician, it has always been my top choice for nursing and rehabilitation services."
Mohammad Siddiqui, MD
Internal Medicine Physician
"We are very satisfied with the care our patients receive at Alden North Shore. We work very closely with Alden North Shore on the discharge planning process to ensure a smooth transition from the facility. It can be a very challenging process but the staff at Alden North Shore does its best to make it as easy as possible for the patients. We hope to be able to continue our ongoing partnership with the facility for years to come."
