"Alden is a great place; all the staff are very friendly, helpful, kind and considerate and the residents are friendly and kind too. I'm very pleased with the Resident Council Meetings because staff really listen to us and to all the suggestions that we have. I'm happy to say that we have a Resident of the Month program. Each Resident of the Month receives a certificate that is displayed in the Activity Room and is given a copy to put up in their apartment."

April Sekowski
Receptionist
"I am proud of working here because of the ‘Alden Hospitality.’ The staff here is great, always willing to extend a helping hand. We are all like one happy family along with the residents here at Alden Gardens and Courts of Des Plaines and are always looking after one another. This is why I see myself working here for as long as possible – probably until I am old enough to have a room here myself!"
Carla Siron, RN
"From my years of interaction with Alden Des Plaines Rehabilitation and Health Care Center, I have found the staff to be most attentive to the emergency fire and medical needs of the residents. The facility has employed the 9-1-1 system in a proper and timely fashion several times over the years and has been a cooperative partner with the paramedics. It is clearly a priority of Alden Des Plaines to prepare its staff for the unexpected and to always be responsive in the best interests of residents. I look forward to a continuing productive relationship with the facility as we join together as a ‘team’ to serve residents’ emergency fire and medical needs."
John W. Heavey
Fire Chief, City of Des Plaines
"I believe Alden Des Plaines offers the best care possible because of the staff’s ability to adjust to meet the needs of each individual patient and resident. The facility offers a variety of programs to fit the ever-changing needs of the senior community!"
