"On March 27, I returned home from a three-week stay at Alden Orland Park. Since I was very pleased with just about everything, I wanted to let you know I thought the overall facility was wonderful. The décor was great and it was exceptionally clean. There were so many wonderful people to thank in the Physical and Occupational Therapy Department as they were really excellent. All of the aides were helpful and courteous as well as extremely efficient. I really enjoyed the food too – great chef! The servers in the dining room were exceptional. I appreciate the Activities people and being able to go on the Internet."

"I am approaching my two-year anniversary at Alden Orland Park. My favorite part of being here is the fellowship among residents and I really enjoy craft time. I have made a hat, jewelry and even an actual painting. I encourage others to come to activities and the exercise programs."

"I want to thank all of you, not just for what you did, which was wonderful, but for the way you did it – with smiles, warmth and caring. You are all very special people. Thanks for making me feel special too and for being so kind and thoughtful to me."

"The Therapy Department at Alden Orland Park really pulled me through when I first arrived. I never thought I could do the things I can do now. I run the Gift Shop, help with bake sales, write songs and participate in bingo. I never stop looking forward. My next goal is to walk without a walker."

"I came to Alden two years ago when doctors found a brain tumor. I was operated on immediately but lost the ability to walk. Through the wonderful nursing staff and the Therapy Department here, I am now miraculously able to walk."
