    Compassionate staff, excellent rehab, spotless

    I'm very happy I chose Glen Brook. The nurses, CNAs, therapists and doctors were compassionate, knowledgeable and proactive - rehab was excellent and the food (Chef Tovar) was outstanding. The facility is spotless and hotel-like with beautiful grounds, sunroom activities, dog visits, a salon and lots of social programming. A few families mentioned occasional rude management, roommate noise or staffing hiccups, so tour and ask questions, but overall I highly recommend it.
