La Villa Grande Care Center

Lynelle

My dad stayed at La Villa Grande Care Center for rehab. He ate the food, it was okay, but he wasn't a fan. He's picky. However, there was some stuff he did eat that he enjoyed, and they tried to offer like, 'Oh, you don't like that? Let me get you something else.' The room looked very similar to a hospital room. There were hospital beds, and there were two beds in a room. He did have a roommate that couldn't hear, so he had the TV up all the time. Plus, he was incontinent, so the room did not smell very good. The staff there was friendly. They had activities. I think they did one or two activities in the cafeteria room. They had movies or music games or things like that. They had a dental service where she would come and go to your room or take you to another room and clean your teeth if you so choose. They also would have somebody that could cut hair that would come to the room and get you. My dad did not participate in any of the activities. I think all nursing homes smell. They're there because they need nursing care, so a lot of them are incontinent, and a lot of them are in wheelchairs can't talk and who can't feed themselves. It was depressing, but I know they were all doing the best they can do with the clientele that they have.
