    Unsafe, understaffed facility with neglect

    I live at All American Village (Archie Morris) and my experience has been mostly negative. A few aides are friendly and the living spaces are decent, but staff are often rude, unhelpful, and short-staffed; calls get hung up and administration seems more focused on DHS paperwork and money than resident care. Safety is a real worry - abuse by some nurses/workers, drug use and patients smoking in bathrooms, overmedication, and a delayed emergency response that had fatal consequences. The food is okay but nutritionally poor with little fresh fruit, supplies are lacking, and overall it doesn't feel worth the cost - I wouldn't recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is mixed but leans toward concern. Reviews include several positive comments—some residents or visitors describe friendly, helpful staff, enjoyable living experiences, and good food or living conditions. However, a larger and more consistent set of complaints raises serious issues across care quality, staff behavior, facility safety, and management practices. The pattern is one of pockets of satisfactory service for some residents alongside recurrent and significant problems reported by others.

    Care quality and safety are recurring and serious themes. Multiple reviewers raise concerns about overmedication and limited progress in residents' mobility and independence, suggesting that rehabilitation and individualized care goals may not be consistently met. There is an allegation of a delayed emergency response that reportedly resulted in a death, which is an acute safety concern. Additional reports allege abuse by nurses or workers and staff mistreatment of residents. Together these items indicate both possible deficiencies in clinical care and in the facility’s ability to ensure resident safety and dignity.

    Staff behavior and communication are heavily criticized in many reviews. Common complaints include rude, unhelpful, or angry staff, staff who hang up on callers, and poor or inefficient communication from administration. While a subset of reviews praises staff as friendly and helpful, the dominant narrative describes understaffing, unprofessional conduct, and inadequate responsiveness to family concerns. Several reviews also note involvement of human services or DHS, implying escalation of problems beyond informal complaints.

    Facility condition and safety issues appear in multiple summaries. Some reviewers describe the building as run-down or not livable; others note specific safety problems such as bathrooms being used as smoking lounges by patients and alleged drug use within the facility. These reports raise concerns about supervision, facility maintenance, and enforcement of rules intended to protect resident health and safety.

    Dining receives mixed feedback: a few reviewers praise the food as great, but several more specifically criticize the nutritional quality—pointing to infrequent fresh fruit, heavy reliance on canned produce, and excessive use of sauces. This suggests that while meals may be palatable to some, there are legitimate concerns about whether dining services meet nutritional standards appropriate for an older or medically vulnerable population.

    Management and administrative themes emphasize poor communication, inefficiency, and a perceived emphasis on regulatory compliance or securing government funds (DHS) over individualized resident care. Reviewers report insufficient resident supplies and an overall sense of inadequate value for money. The combination of administrative disengagement, alleged focus on funding, and inconsistent frontline performance contributes to family frustration and, in some cases, involvement of outside agencies.

    In summary, the reviews for All American Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center paint a mixed picture: some residents are satisfied and experience good food, friendly staff, and acceptable living conditions, but a substantial number of reports raise serious alarm about clinical care, staff behavior, safety, and management. The most pressing recurring issues are allegations of overmedication, emergency response failure, abuse or mistreatment, understaffing, poor communication, and facility safety problems (including drug use and smoking in bathrooms). Prospective residents and families should weigh the positive accounts against these repeated and significant concerns, seek recent inspection reports and references, and ask the facility for specific information on staffing levels, emergency protocols, medication management, rehabilitation plans, and measures taken to address safety and communication deficiencies.

    About All American Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

    All American Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, right at 5448 North Broadway Street in Cook County, which means residents can walk or take the bus with ease, and with a walk score of 94 and transit score of 77, getting around is pretty easy for people who value staying connected to the city. The building goes back to 1962 and has been serving older adults for a long time, offering both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care with a focus on skilled and intermediate needs, and the place has lately gotten some renovations including updates to the rooms and dining area, so people can have both comfort and function during their stay. The center has clear protections and antidiscrimination policies for LGBTQ people, covering housing and employment rights, and staff includes Registered Nurses, Case Manager/Transplant Coordinators, Office Managers, and Certified Nursing Assistants who try to make sure care fits each person's needs.

    Residents can join in on group activities like weekly movies, birthday celebrations, and social or spiritual events, and there are communal and family-style dining options-both meant to help folks meet each other and share time over meals. Nursing services run daily, plus four main kinds of clinical care: regular medical checkups, on-site dental, psychiatric, and behavioral care, as well as specialized programs for memory, post-acute, and psychiatric rehabilitation. There's support for activities of daily living, therapy for physical strength, and social services for other life skills, discharge planning, and future placements. Health and wellness are supported by amenities and programs, and mental health management is part of regular care, as are substance abuse prevention efforts.

    Staff stay protected with paid holidays, time off, life and pet insurance, and health, dental, vision, and short-term disability coverage, so the center has grown a devoted team, many of whom have been there for years. The property is set up like apartments, with accessible entrances and parking, though details about floor finishes, parking type, and internet or satellite options aren't widely known outside the community, and for folks needing an overnight or extended family visit, hours are from early morning until evening, with some flexibility. COVID-19 safeguards, including vaccinations, masks, and infection control, have been standard since the recent change in ownership and facility rebranding to All American Village Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. Social interaction, family involvement, and personal visits are encouraged every day, and there's a focus on making life both safe and as enjoyable as possible for all residents, whether they're staying for a short recovery or living there long term.
