More about Norridge Gardens
The building is listed open around the clock and offers occupational, speech, and physical therapy under the same roof, so the rehab pieces of a resident’s day sit close to your med pass and charting. Employer posts talk about compassionate care, comfortable living, and personalized support in a warm welcoming environment. Norridge itself reads as a quiet Chicago suburb—tree-lined streets, lawns, nearby woods and parks—with Blue Line and bus options and about a half-hour average commute. One Registered Nurse BSN review gave the workplace a 5.0 with full recommend and a 4.0 on work/life balance, and other summaries mention strong relationships. Broader Glassdoor numbers across a handful of Chicago-area reviews sit lower, around 3.3 overall.
