My mother received terrible care. No communication between staff members. Front office and director do NOT care about patients. No truthful information on daily records. Always said that she ate and received meds on time and that was NOT true. We were there!

Overall, I enjoyed Victoria Gardens Nursing Home. Stated previously, I had volunteered there for about a year for a beginners nursing class. We would go about three times a week and stay for about three hours. When we were there, we got to tour the facility, become familiar with the staff and patients, and even perform certain tasks for nurses and doctors. The staff there are friendly and courteous. The facility itself is very quiet and looks cozy. Ive been out of high school for about 6 years now, and looking back I could say its one of the better nursing homes ive visited. My mother now volunteers there every tuesday, and she's grown quite fond of three women that she makes and buys little gifts for, ranging from their late 70's to a woman who is 94. I have been back recently to meet and visit with these women, and they seemed happy and in good health.

The front desk was extremely rude and did not communicate well with my grandmother and visitors. Their was no smile at the greeting. Other than that all the nurses and assistants, all the kitchen help, everyone else was absolutely fantastic. Welcoming, patient, and extremely generous. The building was very dull, but my grand mother adored the birds at the front room. The outdoors were kept up extremely well. I was surprised by the food quality, my grand mother loved every thing they served. As did I. Over all I found this to be a perfect living situation for my grand mother and I would not hesisate to allow her to stay there as long as she needs. I feel she is very well taken care of, and she truly enjoys her stay.

My mother-in-law spent her last few months of life at Victoria Gardens. We selected that facility because it seemed cheerful, clean, and a good nurse to resident ratio. My mother-in-law was bedridden but seemed to have lots of residents and workers come in and visit with her. She had been ill for many years so when my husband and I had an opportunity to go on a once in a lifetime vacation we were assured that everything would be fine and we should go. We left detailed instructions with the facility and with our son in case my mother-in-law should pass on while we were gone. She apparently had a stroke one night. The facility called my son and daughter-in-law who came over and stayed with her until she died. The facility did everything possible to help my son and daughter-in-law handle things until we could get back. They were very respectful and went above and beyond.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Life is a battle between faith and reason in which each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from it and destroying it.
God give me the serenity to accept things which cannot be changed;Give me courage to change things which must be changed;And the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.

The Digitalized Baby: Is Technology Making Us Bad Parents?
The digitalization of babies has gone into overdrive in the past two years, with high-tech gadgetry that syncs up to parents' iPhones and video systems that track the most minute details of children's movement. But has it gone too far?
When I brought my first son home from the hospital, I was a nervous wreck. I'd read all the studies on SIDS, every statistic and safety precaution. There was nothing fluffy in or near his crib, which had adequate spacing between the slats and a perfectly-tilted mattress. And yet, I couldn't unwind. Friends would tell me to "sleep when the baby sleeps." Instead, I'd hover blearily over him, stressing over every up and down movement of his tiny chest. I'd finally drift off only to startle awake with horrific, nightmarish visions in my head.
Enter the Angelcare Deluxe Movement Monitor. A concerned coworker finally suggested this advanced device to measure my son's breathing at night. My husband looked on, bemused, as I slipped a hyper-sensitive sensor pad under the baby's mattress. It was set to sound a remote alarm by our bed if no movement was detected for 20 seconds. It even had an optional alert that could set off a muted beep every time movement WAS detected, so I could be lulled to sleep by the sweet digitalized detection of my baby's movements. Overkill? Maybe. But it was the only thing that put my worried mind at ease enough to finally get some sleep.
The digitalization of babies has gone into overdrive in the past two years, with high-tech gadgetry that syncs up to parents' iPhones and video systems that track the most minute details of children's movement. A new monitor in development called the Owlet promises to deliver heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature and rollover alerts so that parents can check the detailed status of their child from anywhere, and even print out health information for pediatricians.
High-tech baby monitors have obvious functionality in the world of children who suffer from apnea and other medical conditions, but have the rest of us gone too far? Dr. Kenneth Bromberg, chairman of pediatrics at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, expressed his concern in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "This is an invitation to craziness. It will make you neurotic and anxious."
I'll admit that certain technologies like the "Smart Diaper" (which helps parents analyze their children's urine for chemical imbalances and infection) seem a little over-the-top, but at the end of the day I believe that this technology is catering to parents who are already prone to anxiety over their child. My Angelcare monitor put my neurotic mind at ease, it didn't instill that neurosis to begin with!
And to experts who claim that technology like this will cause parents to get lazy and monitor their baby by proxy, I'm going to guess that they've never experienced the frustration of inadvertently waking a sleeping baby while attempting to check on his vital signs every five seconds. Having the data at-hand, coupled with in-person observation, minimizes stress to the parent and disturbance to the baby, and I think ultimately helps the parenting community as a whole.

I think it's safe to say that my 22nd birthday could have been better than anyone else who is a foodie and a fatass like me. At 10:30 a.m. I went to Edzo's to try out 10 (TEN) different kinds of gourmet french fries and photograph them. I met up with my Serious Eats crew who I intern for, and we tried garlic, truffle, lobster, crazy, angry, buffalo, old, regular, loaded, and Taylor Street fries. I won't go into details as to what each one was like (check out Chicago Serious Eats for full descriptions), but I will tell you this — they don't fuck around. Each french fry is a food lover's treasure since they are all freshly cut and cooked to perfection.

Metro Council member Hal Heiner does not mention that he is also running for mayor in a news release from the Metro Council Minority Caucus, but Heiner's vocal criticism of Mayor Jerry Abramson on the police take-home cars controversy leaves little doubt that Heiner is making a mayoral name for himself through his Metro Council office.
Heiner calls on Metro Government to "immediately begin good-faith settlement negotiations with the Fraternal Order of Police" over the issue.
The news release and proposed city ordinance follow:
