Laurels of Hudsonville (THE)

My mother in law is at the Laurels. It's an older building, they have done a lot to keep it clean, and the rooms are small. There's 2 people to a room. The nurses care for her, talk to her, and they are patient. They have Bingo, movie day, physical therapy, and ice cream socials.

My mother was at this facility for a few months. They kept giving her a deadly combination of drugs that are prone to cause seizures in the elderly. I had to finally hire a paralegal to write a letter, which stated that they will remove that combination from her regimen of medications because it is know to cause seizures. I read this letter to the head nurse in my mother's room with my mother present. They still refused to change the order. Two weeks later my mother had a seizure and was admitted to the hospital, from where she did not return to that place.

The Laurels of Hudsonville accommodated my mother's needs for a private room and a private bathroom. The staff was caring, well qualified, and responsive. When she had concerns or we had concerns, they listened to us. They were very good.
