Buckingham is What a Nursing Home is Supposed to Be!…read more When it came time to find a nursing home for my father, I was deeply worried that my Dad's new home wouldn't be sufficiently caring, clean, comfortable or professionally operated. So, I researched well over a hundred nursing homes across Chicago and the suburbs. I am so glad that exhaustive search enabled me to find Buckingham Pavilion! Everyone was caring, understanding, patient and attentive to my Dad's needs. This was true of everyone on the team from the receptionists to the nurses, to the escorts, to the maintenance staff. I was never given any reason to worry about my Dad's level or care or comfort. During my many visits, I saw that he, and the other residents, were happy at Buckingham. Also, my Dad's room, the dining room and all the community spaces were always kept clean and the residents' room were significantly more spacious than at other homes. To top it off, one of the owners I frequently checked in with is not only caring, communicative and professional, but a person of great integrity. I could not be more thankful for everything that everyone at Buckingham did for my Dad and my family.

BEWARE!! LivHome bought out Chicagoland Caregivers several months ago and ever since then, the…read morequality of service has been shockingly unacceptable. LivHome is aiming to be a corporate giant and capitalize on an aging population. What they "care" about is the bottom line: their profit. They've moved to a pricing structure that nickles and dimes the client. For example, if the caregiver helps the client make a phone call, then they must note it and charge for it. If they help the client with walking, then again, they charge extra. In addition, they are bullying and lying to long-time caregivers by saying they are not allowed to work extra hours, even if their weekly cumulative hours are not excessive (approx. 45 per week). The reason? Because they don't want their caregivers becoming too close to the client because they then run the risk of losing the caregiver. I've NEVER received a call from a supposed "care manager" or "care coordinator." Take my advise: go with another agency or hire a private caregiver. You'll undoubtedly receive much more compassionate service at a lower price.

I hired LivHome for care giving services upon my discharge from a skilled nursing facility. They…read morewere one of three services recommended to me by the nursing facility. I also knew someone involved with the organization. The care manager came out to visit with me and reviewed their services and my situation. I was told I would have to pay a higher rate because of my condition and that I have a cat. I was told there would be no problem with anything I was asking for including transferring. We discussed the type of caregiver I would need given my size. Again, I was told it was no problem. In 3 months' time, I had 5 caregivers. They included one that put her television watching ahead of helping me, one that cleaned the carpet by sweeping it with a broom and watching the dryer as the laundry finished, and one who told me up front she wanted a live-in position. I never requested a change; I always tried to work with them. The care manager always made excuses for the caregiver. It appeared to me that they were more concerned with fitting the caregiver's requests and schedule than the client. They made it seem that my request for someone to be proactive was very unusual. Furthermore, every time the care manager had to visit me, call me or work on my case, there was a $110 charge. The last caregiver I had was very good but she had just started working in the office so her hours were limited. There was one time I went 3 weeks without service. I asked the care manager what the problem was. He said it was a combination of 3 things: the # of hours I wanted (4 hrs. per week), my location (5 miles from their office) and the fact that I have a cat. All of the caregivers I had with the exception of the last all lived on the South or West side of the city. The final straw came last week when I was hospitalized for 2 days. I called the care manager to tell him what was going on and that I would need someone upon my discharge and going forward for about a week until I got my strength back. He said no problem and that he would call me daily. I called him the next day as soon as I found out I was being discharged. He sounded annoyed that I was calling so late for services. He was able to confirm my regular caregiver but no one called to tell me this or what time she would be here. During her visit, I asked who would be here the next day. She looked at me dumbfounded and said no one. I was told they worked on it all night but couldn't find any one. I was very frightened because I was extremely weak and alone. Furthermore, the caregiver the night before had locked the door despite my several instructions to leave it unlocked and she had left my transfer board out of my reach. I found out later that the care manager had spoken to one of the people I listed on my application about my situation. He spoke to him without my knowledge and told him more about the situation than he told me. I could understand if I was elderly and wasn't in my right mind but I'm young and am fully aware of what's going on. I felt very betrayed. He told the person he had no hard feelings. Well, that makes one of us! I would only go with them if you live South or West of the city and you want to be nickeled and dimed for the services. There are much better services out there who deserve your business.

I really wish I didn't have to write this review and I wish I had no idea how amazing the staff is,…read morebut sadly I do because my grandfather spent his last days in here. My grandpa just passed away a couple of weeks ago, but he stayed in here for almost six days. He was in the hospital here before that, but was moved to hospice, and honestly, I am so thankful he had the care that he did here. The staff was so accommodating and sweet, and they really did their best to make my grandpa comfortable and relaxed. He had dementia, and they dealt with his anxiety very well in the first couple of days of him being here. Then, he obviously became weaker and weaker the longer he stayed because he stopped eating or drinking and was on much medication, but all through it, they supported not only him, but also us through it all. They always made sure to check up on him, and I know this for a fact because my family and I were here A LOT. They made sure to change the way he was laying every few hours so that he wouldn't get bed sores, and they treated him as though he was in their own family. Every time we were here, every staff member who was taking care of him would come and talk to us or ask us personal questions to get to know him and us more. Everyone here is unbelievably kind and personable. My grandpa would always shave his face every single day, so when he was in the hospital, he kept asking for it to be done when he was still able to talk. They finally shaved his face here, and it made all of us very happy that they cared enough about what he wanted, even when he wasn't as aware or "present". They even asked us how he liked his face shaved (side burns or not). Overall, I think this was the best place for him during his last few days, and I would never hesitate to have someone come here for palliative care.
