Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this place called Highlight Healthcare of Aurora for a bit, and I gotta share what I’ve found. It’s a nursing home over in Aurora, Illinois, at 1017 W. Galena Blvd, to be exact. They’re not just any nursing home, though. They’ve got a bunch of services, like skilled nursing, long-term care, and even short-term rehab.
First off, I called them up at their number, (630) 897-3100. I just wanted to get the basics, you know? Like, what’s the deal with this place? Turns out, it’s a 68-bed spot, and they take both Medicare and Medicaid. That’s pretty useful for folks who need that kind of coverage.
Then, I did some digging online. I mean, who doesn’t check out reviews and ratings these days? I looked up ratings on how well they do with medical stuff, how many staff they have, and even how safe and clean the place is according to health inspections. You gotta be thorough, right? Some of the reviews weren’t the best, but not everything is perfect, and everyone has different experiences, right?

My Little Investigation
So, I decided to see for myself what the place is like, and just visited. I just walked into the place and asked some basic questions. The staff was nice enough, they answered all my questions. And explained how things are running. But I have to say, the place was not in the best condition. It was not well-maintained and looked dirty.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I gathered:
- Location: It’s easy enough to find, right on West Galena Boulevard. No problem there.
- Services: Like I said, they do skilled nursing, long-term care, and short-term rehab. That covers a lot of ground.
- Capacity: 68 beds. It’s not a huge place, but it’s not tiny either.
- Payment: They take Medicare and Medicaid, which is good to know.
At the end of the day, I learned that Highlight Healthcare of Aurora seems like it has potential, but there’s room for improvement. I guess it really depends on what you’re looking for in a nursing home. I recommend that you guys should give them a call if you want to learn more. But I guess the best way to find out is to go and see the place yourself, just like what I did.
