Views From Our Lovely Garden!

Hello to everyone that would read this post. I almost don’t know where to start with my experience. It took me two weeks after my mom was discharged to sit down and write this. I have so much to say and know I can’t say it all in this post so please bear with me. I’ll just start by saying that I had such an enlightening experience concerning nursing home jarga. My mom was admitted to Medilodge of Taylor two months ago after suffering a stroke 4mths prior. I have to say that I was reluctant to send her there after reading some of the reviews and speaking to others about it. My mother’s Physician Dr. Shehnaz Rizvi convinced me to do so. I shared with her my feelings and in turn she expressed how good the rehab was and how my mother could benefit from being there. I still looked at her a lil cross eyed and she asked me did I trust her???? Well, of course, I trust her b/c I believed that she had my mother’s best interest at heart. So I said I did and my mom was admitted. I know this is long but I feel like I need to express how the care that my mother got was indescribable. The nurses; Keely, Heather, Tiffany and James we’re phenomenal, their professionalism was outstanding and I know that it wasn’t favoritism b/c I observed how they treated the other residences and they cared for them accordingly. There were other nurses that I didn’t name b/c I may not have seen or interacted with them. Just to name a few CNA’s that I wish I could have taken home with me were GREAT!!! Their attitudes were so cordial and respectful. Amanda, Kourtney, Crystal, Jasmine, Brandon, and last but not least at all Alexis and again there were others too. Well, I can’t just stop there without mentioning the Administration Staff. Katrice, (Discharge Planner) Kristina(SW) Joanna(Activity Planner) Lori , and sooo many others that I can’t remember their names. They all helped me through a time when I wasn’t equipped to handle this new place that I wasn’t accustomed to. Thankyou Administration So Much. Oh My Goodness, I dare not leave out The Rehab. Department. They are second to none!!!! They work if no one else is. Their consistency in getting their job done is very noticeable. Their attitudes are loving and caring. Thank you Rehab!! You guys Rock! I hope this post will help someone that is unfamiliar and afraid to make a heartfelt decision on allowing their loved one go to Medilogde of Taylor or even some other facility b/c it can be frightening but try to keep an open mind and allow your gut to lead you. Blessings to Medilodge of Taylor

When my husband first went into MediLodge of Taylor he was in a wheelchair and was out of it. They started taking his medications away slowly, one at a time and substituting others. Now he eats by himself, toilets himself, showers and shaves himself. He is more aware of his surroundings. We are so grateful to the medical staff for that.

We the family of Leroy. J would like to thank all the Nursing and C.N.A. staff that took care of him. The care that your staff gave to our dear family member was outstanding. May God truly bless each one of you for the kindness and the care you gave him.

To the staff at Medilodge My Grandfather, Raymond W Kramer, was under Hospice Care at your facility for just a few days in November of this year. My family and I were very pleased and impressed with your facility and the care he received. The rooms and entire facility was clean, inviting and having a pleasant aroma. The bed, furniture, wheelchairs and all the equipment was clean, operational and up to date. Most importantly we were impressed with kind, compassionate and positive care/interaction my grandfather received as a patient and we received as visitors. Personally, I would like to acknowledge CNA Charles Penny. His care and compassion was impressive and this fact put me and hospice nurses (names I cannot recall unfortunately) involved in his care who also provided excellent care and deserve recognition, and so we thank you! The care we received was most comforting during the final days/hours we shared with our grandfather before he went to be with the Lord. On behalf of the entire Kramer Family, We say thank you and may God bless each of you!

The staff at MediLodge of Taylor were so great with my care. Marcella in activities always played cards with me and other residents. The nurses and nursing assistants all went above and beyond for me. I would recommend this facility to anyone’s loved ones. I will miss MediLodge of Taylor.

I am so grateful for the care and attention my mother received. I highly recommend MediLodge of Taylor to everyone.

The CNA’s work really hard to make sure I have a good day. PT works me really hard every day with love. An R.N. named Kylie is very good with me and Jataya Fox makes sure I smile every day!

I took a tour and was impressed after touring two other rehab facilities. Every person stood out and was outstanding. I never had to follow up on anything. Everyone from housekeeping, dietary, nurses, aides, activities, etc., are helpful. The atmosphere is positive here. Employees are smiling and always asking if there is anything we need. Roni and Toni in the administration were accommodating and approachable.

To the Staff of MediLodge: Just a little Valentine's treat for you all and a great big thanks of appreciation for the great care you give my father Jim M! Happy Valentines Day! (This was accompanied by wonderful Valentine Treats.)
