Alden Gardens of Des Plaines

The medical care available at this community makes it stand out. One visitor says, "I am a retired RN, and so my standards for my mom's care are quite high. I am very pleased with the medical oversight of the residents and their communication and responsiveness with me. My mother is frail, and the need for 24-hour assistance is high."
