Lagrange Health and Rehab

My husband stayed at Lagrange Nursing & Rehab Center. The aides were the nicest and did what they were supposed to do. I saw the menu. It looked good, and my husband ate it, so it must have been prepared well. The staff, the assistant, the CNAs, whatever they call them, were excellent. The ones I met took very good care of my husband and were very gentle and good. The physical therapy was very good, and it was a fair price. The management could be nicer. I found them just not helpful. I don't know what their problem was, but they were not nice. That was a very big thing, and then the people, and this was allowed, instead of going to the back where there were trees and things, they would sit out front under a pavilion where you drive up to, and that seemed to be encouraged because there were always many people out there. It would be so much nicer in the back, where there were great shade trees. There were holes in the wall that could have been repaired and taken care of, but it was not dirty. It's just old, and there are old things that you can't make look better, so that's a major renovation.

I have been a resident at Lagrange Nursing & Rehab Center for a few years. It's a pretty clean facility but the food is horrible and the nursing is hit-and-miss. That's the reason why I want to leave. I would have to say it's the best nursing home I've ever been in or had any dealings with, but this new management stinks. I would call it a "no-care center " now. When it was the old Lagrange, it was wonderful. It had problems, but now we have problems even getting insulin and seizure medication. That's been my experience. I would not recommend them, not with this new company. I have a roommate and my room is painted an off-white and just really pretty. Their activities are wonderful. We just had a prom, which was wonderful. Our room is nice, we have beds and they provide a TV and a closet. They're small, but it's nice and you can bring things from home or mementos. They provide furniture but with special permission, you can bring in some things from home. The food is revolting. The breakfast is good, but the rest of the food is not. The facility is old, it's been here for a long time so they need to upgrade a lot of stuff. It has mold in the buildings so I am not recommending it. We have some good employees and we have some bad ones. For activities, they make everything fun. We have bingo every week and we have activities every day. We do arts and crafts, a painting class, and a jewelry class. We have Bible studies and churches can come in. We also have wine and cheese once a month and this month we're going to have a penny auction. That's the best thing about this place. For me, that's the drawing card.
