Laurel Health and Rehabilitation

I am not really crazy about this center. In fact I had been doing some phone calls of possibly having her moved to a different facility. I'm just not crazy about the care that she is getting there right now. I talked to one of their staff about a certain concern and he just say it's being taken care of and they understand. I've been here in MT for some time and I go there every morning and I can see that my mother had to ring her buzzer and lying in bed in pain because they haven't given her pain pill. I ask how long it has been like this. I don't know if they're short staffed or what the problem is but I just don't feel that my mother is getting the care she needed. It's not worth for the price that we pay them. The food is just horrible and I'm not even sure if I'd feed it to a dog and I don't know if it's because they feel that everybody is elderly there that they don't have their taste buds anymore or what. Surely they can do better with the food.

It only took a few seconds to realize that Laurel Health and Rehab was the place to write about. The main entrance has a lovely, well maintained bird cage with finches chirping "welcome." The facility is always spotless, as are all the facilities I have visited in Montana. It is located in a quiet, small town neighborhood and you will often see residents walking or being walked around the nearby streets. They have lots of fun activities and a caring, professional staff. The facility is owned by the employees, so that gives them a stake making it the best it can be It is geared to being affordable to those of us on fixed incomes. When visiting friends and patients there, I have always been impressed and would certainly consider using it myself if necessary.
