How to evaluate Interim HealthCare of Elmhurst

The things that best predict care quality never make it into the brochure. Ask what the caregiver-to-resident ratio runs overnight — the daytime figure hides the real story — along with the past year's staff turnover and how long the administrator has held the job. Ask, too, how often the care plan gets reviewed and what would actually trigger a move-out. Then walk the halls during a meal and an activity, and watch whether the residents actually look engaged. Verify the IDPH license and inspection history through the IDPH Health Care Facilities & Programs directory and the IDPH nursing home report card.
