Midlands Living Center

ReviewerFC012124B

My husband is in Midlands Living Center for long-term care. It's close to me, and it's VA-approved. The rooms are sufficient. They have church services. They have a pet rabbit. They get my husband involved, which is amazing. The staff is very good. The food is not my cooking, but it's sufficient. VA's paying for it. I think the price is about average compared to other places.

Midlands Living Center is an older facility, smaller, and independent-owned. They try to give more individualized services. They have a private room for my dad with his own bathroom. With COVID, they try to have hall exercises, they have selected people, and take them to bingo. So they kind of made pods so that the same people are interacting in case COVID does appear in their nursing home, so it won't be hard to track down. When the weather is nice, they take them out individually to get some fresh air with a nurse. They did apply and received a grant to have the portal system, so my dad got a portal so we're able to do face-to-face. Any time there's a change or if there's any concern, they call us right away on our cellphones. If there was a new order or the results for something, they would call to tell us. They're having to take in styrofoam meals to the room, it's not like they're going into the cafeteria to scoop it hot. It is an older structure, but it's well-maintained. I think it's probably a good value, it's right there in the ballpark, and there are some that cost much more. There's no hidden cost.
