Midway Neurological/Rehab Center
Midway Neurological/Rehab Center is rated much below average. The facility is located in Bridgeview, Illinois which is a Chicago suburb west of the city limits.

It is also important to talk with a council president to learn about how the nursing home has acted on different issues.

Complaints in facility-reported incidents in the past 3 years showed a variety of nursing home issues. For example, an inspection that took place in October of 2013 found a deficiency in protecting each resident from all abuse, physical punishment, and being separated from others. An inspection held on February 26, 2016 found that there was a need to provide necessary care and services to maintain the highest well-being of each resident. These complaints are corrected. In the case of the February 2016 complaint inspection, it was corrected by March 14, 2016. Another issue raised was when a resident is in need of outside medical care. The deficiency was found that there was no immediate report of a resident’s family and doctor of an injury or decline that would affect the resident. Again, this complaint report was shown to have been corrected just days later.
