Before you trust Ignite Medical Resort Hanover Park with someone you love, please read this review…read more If my family had known then what we know today, we never would have placed our father at Ignite. During my father's 26-day stay, someone from our family was with him a minimum of 12 hours every single day. We weren't relying on updates from staff. We were there. We saw what happened. We asked questions. We took notes. We advocated for him every single day. Even with that level of involvement, we constantly found ourselves stepping in because things weren't getting done. Call lights went unanswered. My father's call button wasn't always within his reach when he needed help. Medications were left unattended at his bedside. Delays in care became routine enough that we felt we had to monitor what should have been basic responsibilities. We questioned the wound care he received, medications that were administered without anyone discussing potentially serious side effects, and decisions that never seemed to be fully explained to our family. Over time, the hardest part wasn't just watching his condition decline. It was watching him lose trust in some of the people responsible for caring for him. By the end of his stay, the overnight hours were the ones he feared most because he didn't believe someone would come when he needed help. I've attached one of the photographs we took immediately after removing the bandages from my father's foot after he left Ignite. It is one of many reasons our family still has unanswered questions about the care he received. After my father passed away, we didn't immediately write this review. Instead, we spent weeks reviewing hundreds of pages of medical records, organizing our notes, and preparing a detailed executive review because we believed Ignite's leadership would want to understand what happened. We also made sure to recognize the nurses, therapists, CNAs, and support staff who treated my father with kindness and compassion because they deserved to be recognized. Our review was sent directly to CEO Tim Fields. Amy Hammond, Vice President of Operations, contacted our family and met with us, along with Heintje Miranda, Vice President of Clinical Operations. Amy assured us she would investigate every concern we raised, answer our questions, provide the records we requested, and make sure no other patient experienced what our father had experienced. We left that meeting believing we would finally get answers. Instead, the deadline came and went. I sent a detailed follow-up email listing every document we had been promised, every unanswered question, and every commitment discussed during our meeting. We never received a response. No records were provided. No findings were shared. No explanation was offered. Communication simply stopped. There were employees at Ignite who treated my father with genuine kindness, and our family will always be grateful to them. This review is not about those individuals. It is about the care my father received, the questions that remain unanswered, and the complete lack of accountability from the people responsible for leading this organization. If this is how Ignite responds to a family that was present every day, documented everything, and genuinely wanted answers, I can't imagine what happens to families who aren't able to advocate the way ours did. My family will never again trust Ignite Medical Resorts with someone we love.

I chose Ignite medical resort because their website made it sound amazing. My mother had a bad fall…read moreand was in the hospital for two weeks and was in need of rehab. The care she received was awful.The staff was rude and would visit the room infrequently. My mother is allergic to dyes, the staff was alerted about this and on several occasions, they still tried to give her colored pills. Well, standing at the nurses station going over my mother's pills another patient came up and they ignored her for over five minutes. The next day another patient needed help to the bathroom and the nurse said call 911, I'll be there when I get there. My mother was there for rehab and after the third day and no scheduled rehab until the fifth day we pulled her out of Ignite. We found out the day before another family pulled their loved one out for the same reasons. Do not take your loved ones to Ignite !! Do not be fooled by their website.

If you're in the same situation, you'll relate. I checked my dad in there straight from a post-hospital rehab center today. There are chunks of concrete falling off the retainer wall; there's a train line literally across the street; the furniture is chipped, warped and damaged. BUT...we're veterans at this kind of thing now and I can tell you that I have NEVER seen such friendly, supportive staff; never seen such welcoming, happy residents; never seen such a warm, caring, compassionate environment. Knowing my dad, in two weeks the complaints will start, but I have never seen him so HAPPY anywhere in all these years. It was heart warming and beautiful. I'd rather have good staff and nice people than fancy decor.

They have done everything in their power to drag this on and keep him there to make money off of him disguised as "safety". I get told by staff, social workers, doctors, "one more day", "we sent the paperwork", "you will have it tomorrow". My father can leave but only if it's a place they approve and sign off on. Two months have gone by, no list, no signature, no phone calls. They are causing strain within two grieving families, sadness and confusion with my fathers grandchildren, ruining the holidays for his two families that had plans to visit him at his new residence. Causing him financial strain that he doesn't fully understand. They have lost all of his clothes, other residents are able to come in his space and take his things. This facility has made me lose all hope, what they are doing is beyond confusing, my emails and phone calls go nowhere. I don't know how some of the staff at this building sleep at night. Many times during this whole process I thought maybe I wasn't helping enough, I wasn't available enough, I was a bad daughter. I'm on my knees at Christmas with nothing left to give, nothing to show for my 3 months of work. Everything came down to a single doctors signature and he refused to sign. I cried all night, and I couldn't sleep thinking this was all my fault. This place has created the worst year of my families life that we can never get back. They are going to reply to this review with a response "we take this very seriously please call us at blah blah blah". NO! you call me cowards!!!

Having her return home was no longer an option; which led me to quickly get to up to speed on senior living options,mostly on my own. I found her a place & moved her in all before her release. While I ensured her safety, I second guessed my decisions as she vocally struggled to adjust; it was a lot of change particularly for someone who rarely left her home. Almost 6 months in, a different set of doubts & worries took over. Did I make the right call, could she live somewhere more affordable, would she outlive her money, etc. I don't even recall what search term led me to Senior Living Experts, but I'm grateful. Rebecca listened to my story and made me feel less alone. She thought where my mom was at was the best option in terms of cost, desired location and care needs addressed, but would do the research and circle back. We also discussed the care she received currently and provided a few suggestions. As promised, Rebecca followed up and confirmed her initial assessment. Yes, I'll still worry about her finances, but I now have a better understanding of the landscape and what comes should her care needs increase. If I had a do over, I would have started with Senior Living Experts, they are amazing!

I received a bill for my lab work three weeks ago and it's been paid but my bill for my visit has yet to arrive. I called the number listed on their website for billing and got placed on hold for ten minutes then sent to a voicemail. Something is off around their billing and I'm worried for when I get my bill if I get it. Don't go here it's not worth the risk of having a medical bill go to collections without notice.

Payment was sent. I kept getting notices that I had an outstanding balance, so I actually called. They told me it probably hadn't been posted yet and not to worry about it. Then I got ANOTHER notice saying FINAL NOTICE. I contacted my Flexible Spending company and asked for payment verification. They gave me a date and sent me a copy of the front and back of the check. I forwarded this to Physicians Immediate Care and got back a short response. Something along the lines of "we don't do business with the bank that deposited this check and you still owe us money." WTF! So I paid the correct amount, I sent it to the correct address with my name and account number on it, but I am still responsible for paying (again)! I contacted them again and repeated that I did everything possible to pay this and it's not my fault it didn't get to the correct place. I addressed it correctly. They refused to deal with it and told me it was up to me to get my money back from my FSA and they take no responsibility for the payment not going to the right spot. Very shady. So pay with a credit card or better yet, just avoid this place.
