My attending doctor at Lutheran General strongly recommended Glenview Terrace for rehabilitation to strengthen my ankle. From the moment I arrived, the staff made my stay memorable. The physical therapy team played a significant role in my recovery. They helped me improve significantly, from getting out of bed to walking with a walker, and their care and kindness exceeded my expectations. Dimi and Julia (CNAs) were exceptional in their support. I looked forward to each day because of the excellent meals and the compassionate care I received from these staff members. Michelle (nurse) and all the other nurses provided top-notch care. The facility is also clean and inviting, making it an excellent choice for rehabilitation. I highly recommend Glenview Terrace to anyone due to their quality service and exceptional care!

I can’t stress enough how crucial the rehabilitation care at Glenview Terrace was for me. I found myself at their facility after a severe fall and needing rehabilitation. I had no prior knowledge of the place, and it was just pure chance that brought me there. But the staff’s kindness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism, from nurses like Erwin and her assistants to the wonderful therapists like Elizabeth, Monika, Donna, and Kevin, exceeded my expectations. They worked tirelessly to get me back on my feet, quite literally, and the care I received was nothing short of exceptional. The facility’s round-the-clock care and teamwork were remarkable, making me feel comfortable and well looked after. It’s not just about the therapy; the people at Glenview Terrace make it an outstanding place. I’m so grateful for the care I received, and I wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone needing rehabilitation. They’re like a well-oiled machine, and I can’t thank them enough for helping me get back on my feet and regain my independence.

My loved one needed post-acute care after surgery, and I chose Glenview Terrace because of the recommendations from family and friends who had positive experiences there. The facility helped her reach her goals for rehabilitation, and the improvements she made during her stay were exceptional. The staff, particularly Dimitri and the therapy team exceeded our expectations with their kindness and expertise. The social worker, Mike, was also incredibly helpful in our journey. She looked forward to her therapy sessions with Dimitri every day. I am more than willing to recommend Glenview Terrace to others because they provided excellent care and a supportive environment that made her stay truly memorable. Thank you, Glenview Terrace, for your outstanding care and services!

When I first came to Glenview Terrace, I was in a tough spot. My esophagus wasn’t functioning, and I had been on tube feeding for over three years. I also dealt with internal bleeding in my abdomen and faced the possibility of needing major surgery. The road to recovery seemed daunting, but with the incredible care I received here, things began to improve little by little. Against all odds, I started eating again—a milestone my surgeon didn’t think was possible without further surgery. Now, I’ve been off tube feeding for six months and feel stronger every day.

Throughout my stay, which has been a little over three years, the team at Glenview Terrace has been nothing short of amazing. Colleen, the dietitian, played a huge role in my recovery, working with me patiently to gradually cut back on tube feeding and reintroduce food into my diet. Her guidance and encouragement made a world of difference. The nurses have been fantastic as well, always attentive and reliable, ensuring everything—from my pump feeding to my daily care—was handled perfectly.

Maintaining a sense of normalcy has been important to me. Even here, I stick to routines that make me feel like myself, such as showering daily and playing guitar when I get a chance. The community at Glenview Terrace has also been a source of support. I’ve made friends here, and we often sit in the hallways to chat and enjoy each other’s company.

Looking ahead, I feel ready to move into my own apartment and live independently. While I still use a walker for safety reasons, I’m confident in my ability to manage on my own. I’m grateful for the support of my sister, who helped me find Glenview Terrace in the first place, and my brother, who’s been there every step of the way.

This place has been a lifeline for me. The care I’ve received, the relationships I’ve built, and the progress I’ve made wouldn’t have been possible without Glenview Terrace. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone in need of exceptional rehabilitation and care. They’ve helped me reclaim my life, and for that, I’ll always be thankful.

My mother’s stay at Glenview Terrace gave our family a lot of comfort during a difficult time. After leaving the hospital, she needed post-acute care, therapy, and support, and the team at Glenview Terrace did a wonderful job helping her. She was comfortable, well cared for, and that meant everything to us.

What stood out most was how easy the staff was to communicate with and how caring everyone was. I received regular updates, and every person I spoke with was professional, kind, and genuinely helpful. My family also appreciated how clean the facility was and how much attention my mom received. I would absolutely recommend Glenview Terrace to anyone looking for compassionate, quality care for a loved one.

My journey with Glenview Terrace started unexpectedly last year when I visited the area from Buffalo, New York, for my son’s wedding. After the wedding, I broke my elbow, but I didn’t let anyone know because I was determined to make it to the ceremony. The next day, the pain worsened, and I ended up needing surgery and extensive care. I chose Glenview Terrace for my rehabilitation, where I stayed for five weeks. Everyone there was so wonderful during my recovery that the experience stuck with me.

A year later, life brought me back to Glenview Terrace under very different circumstances. I had sold my home in Buffalo and moved to the area, but soon after, I fell seriously ill. My oxygen levels were dangerously low, I struggled to walk even a few steps without losing my breath, and I required four blood transfusions. When I was discharged from the hospital, I asked to return to Glenview Terrace because of my previous positive experience. It was the best decision I could have made.

The team at Glenview Terrace has been incredible. They not only remembered me after a year, but their kindness and care have helped me regain my strength and independence. Today, I’m walking without oxygen and using a walker with minimal assistance. The staff went above and beyond, from helping me understand my new fluid and sodium restrictions to simply being there for me every step of the way.

Jane, one of the nurses I remembered from my first stay, was especially supportive. Her warmth and humor made my time there feel less like a hospital and more like a place of healing. I’ll always cherish the connections I made with the staff and how they treated me like family.

Now, I’m ready to move into my new apartment and start fresh. While I don’t want to return to Glenview Terrace—I hope I stay healthy—it’s comforting to know there’s a place I can trust if I ever need care again. I would recommend Glenview Terrace to anyone looking for exceptional rehabilitation care. They’ve truly made a difference in my life.

When it came time to choose a rehabilitation facility, my daughter and I looked at several options. Initially, we considered a place in Lincolnshire, but a doctor recommended Glenview Terrace. He mentioned having a family connection to the facility and spoke highly of their care. In the end, we decided to come here—and I’m glad we did.

I came to Glenview Terrace for rehabilitation after battling sepsis. I needed extended antibiotic treatment and round-the-clock care, which wasn’t possible to manage at home. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to weeks of rehab, but the team here has made the process much easier than I anticipated.

The care I’ve received has been exceptional. Rosa, in particular, has been a standout. She goes above and beyond, ensuring every need is met, whether it’s switching out a mattress or encouraging me to stay on top of my care. She’s truly an asset to this place. Jane, one of the nurses, has also been fantastic. The physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) teams have been incredible as well—Maggie in PT and Sophia in OT have not only helped me regain my strength but made the process enjoyable with their humor and positive attitudes.

I’ve noticed real progress since I started. From walking with difficulty to regaining significant strength and mobility, I can see how far I’ve come thanks to the dedicated staff here. The therapists have created an environment where hard work doesn’t feel like a chore, and that’s made a huge difference for me.

While I didn’t want to be here initially, Glenview Terrace has exceeded my expectations. The staff’s kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail have made this a positive experience. I would absolutely recommend Glenview Terrace to anyone in need of physical therapy or rehabilitation. They’ve helped me get closer to my goal of returning home, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.

After a fall left me injured, I spent time at Glenview Terrace for rehab, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. The therapy team was exceptional—they pushed me to work hard, not just physically but mentally as well. Their dedication helped me regain my strength and confidence, making it possible for me to go home independently. The gym itself was a bright and motivating space, and the nurses were incredibly encouraging, always reminding me to get up and stay active. I also want to give a special thank you to Daisy and Anita, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Their kindness and care truly made a difference. I would absolutely recommend Glenview Terrace to anyone who needs rehabilitation—they genuinely strive to get you well and ready to return home.

When I fell and broke my leg in two places, I wasn’t sure what came next.

After my hospital stay, I was referred to Glenview Terrace for rehabilitation. I didn’t know much about the facility at the time, but I agreed to go.

Looking back, it’s one of the best decisions I could have made.

When you’re older and experience a fall like that, it’s not just your body that gets hurt. You start to question yourself. You become afraid. You worry about falling again. You wonder if you’ll ever feel confident enough to move the way you used to.

That’s exactly how I felt.

The physical therapy team didn’t just help me heal physically—they helped me get rid of that fear.

Day after day, they encouraged me, challenged me, and reminded me that I was capable of more than I thought. Every therapy session helped me rebuild not only my strength, but also my confidence.

And that’s what changed everything.

One of the people who made the biggest impact on me was Anita, a CNA I affectionately called “Mama.” Every day she would motivate me, encourage me, and make sure I stayed focused on my goals.

She wouldn’t let me give up.

“Come on, you’ve got therapy today. Let’s do this.”

I loved that about her.

The therapy team was just as incredible. One therapist in particular constantly pushed me to keep going when things felt difficult. He refused to let me focus on what I couldn’t do and instead reminded me of what I could do.

That encouragement mattered more than they probably realized.

What I looked forward to most each day was therapy.

Not because it was easy—it definitely wasn’t—but because I knew every session was helping me move closer to getting my life back.

One of my proudest moments came after I returned home.

I live in an apartment that requires me to climb nearly 20 stairs to get inside. Before rehabilitation, that challenge felt overwhelming. But I remembered everything the therapists had taught me. I took my time, stayed focused, and carefully worked my way up.

And I made it.

Without hurting myself.

That moment proved to me that everything I had learned at Glenview Terrace worked.

When people ask what was most memorable about my stay, it’s hard to pick just one thing. The truth is, it was everything. The staff, the therapy, the encouragement, the friendships, the different personalities I met along the way—it all came together to create an experience I’ll never forget.

Most importantly, I never felt like just another patient.

The team took the time to understand me, my challenges, and my goals. They didn’t treat me like a room number. They treated me like family.

If someone asked me whether I would recommend Glenview Terrace, my answer would be absolutely yes.

The people genuinely care. They take the time to understand what you need, create a plan to help you succeed, and stand beside you every step of the way.

For me, they gave me something priceless.

They gave me my confidence back.
