Alden Des Plaines Rehab & Health Care sits at 1221 E Golf Rd in Des Plaines and offers a range of services for people who need short-term rehabilitation, post-acute care, or skilled nursing. People who come here often need help after surgery, a hospital stay, or injury, and the place tries to make recovery as comfortable as possible with restaurant dining, fancy rooms, and a bunch of five-star amenities, so folks don't feel like they're in a regular hospital. The center provides meals in a dining room that feels more like a restaurant, not a cafeteria, and gives patients access to both cozy accommodations and extra conveniences during their stay, which makes things a little easier when you're not at home.
What really sets Alden Des Plaines apart are its specialized therapy programs. Therapy staff use modern tools and are very well trained, helping people regain movement and speech with programs like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. For folks who need it, there's a special NeuroGym™ which helps people who have trouble using regular exercise machines, especially those with neurological or orthopedic challenges, so recovery can keep moving even if traditional methods don't work. Some people here use the OrthopedicPro™ program after a knee or hip replacement, others go through CardioPro™ to help their heart get stronger, and there's even PulmonaryPro™ for people who need help with their lungs, plus NeuroStrokePro™ for stroke recovery and MedicallyComplexPro™ for trickier cases.
They also have ventilator care for those who need breathing support, and nurses are available to help with daily medical care. Patients benefit from these targeted treatments focused on helping every person do as much as they can on their own again, like getting out of bed, speaking clearly, or eating meals with others. Alden Des Plaines Rehab is recognized by the Joint Commission for quality care and sticks to a holistic approach, so attention is given to both comfort and health, using innovative therapy but keeping things warm and welcoming. Staff speak English, and they try to set a high standard for rehab and customer service without losing the personal side of care. No big awards are listed, but they do focus on patient needs and safety, keeping things honest and straightforward for those who just want to recover in peace and a bit of comfort.
