The activities department is amazing. They definitely think outside the box to come up with events that engage the residents and keep them smiling and enjoying life.

Our Mom lived there for the 2 last years of her life. Best care given the last few days of her life on BJC hospice. The food is truly awful, our Mom was right about this. Our stepfather is still there, its seems he gets the care he deserves at this time.

University Care Center in Edwardsville Illinois is the best place I have found for my Beautiful Wife Beth... She's been in there since October 29th, 2019 with Guillain Barre Syndrome and has improved so much since that time.. The entire staff is just amazing and they truly care about the residents and take excellent care of them.. my Beautiful Wife loves it there and all the nurses love her too... I would highly recommend them to anyone who may need a nursing home because they are by far the best place in the entire area...

My mother was admitted to UNRC for cardiac rehab after her heart surgery. She stayed about 6 weeks and went home stronger and more full of vitality than she had been for 2 years. She loved working with the wonderful girls in the therapy department and developed close relationships with many of the residents as well as staff members.
I've now had four family members stay in this facility and they have all been extremely satisfied with the care they received.

When my friend arrived three days before Christmas, she couldn’t move her left side at all. She had a stroke. The therapy department here is wonderful! They are all so tender hearted and loving. If you are willing to work hard, have lots of determination, and do what they need you to do, you can get better too!
