South Lyon Gardens Nursing and Rehabilitation

Robin P.

My father was in South Lyon Gardens after he had a fall. He got excellent care from the moment he got in. There was no tension in the place, there was calmness, he got whatever help he needed right away, and you could see the difference in him. The people were so caring, the physician and the therapist were good. Everything was very clean, he had enough space to go around, and I felt he had more assistance. It was organized, everybody was on the same page, and it was focused on what my father wanted.

My mother-in-law was in South Lyon Senior Center for a while. It was nice and clean. A lot of times she didn't want to eat or felt like eating, but sometimes she would have something that she really enjoyed They had quite a few activities, but my mother-in-law did go to them. She was kind of independent. However, they had different rooms where they would meet and talk or interact with each other. Most of the people looked happy while playing bingo or passed the ball around as a physical activity. They had friendly people that helped take people around in their wheelchairs and brought food to them.

Every time I went to visit my uncle at this nursing home, the smell was awful upon entering through the door. The staff were far from generous or even friendly. They treated my uncle with a rude voice and attitude, while not catering towards any of his needs. Clean up workers, such as janitors and the nurses responsible for sanitizing things, did not seem to have any pride in their job whatsoever. The food was terrible, and the building was incredibly hot. Due to his failure to ask to leave, I had assumed that my uncle did not mind the seemingly horrible conditions, but upon asking him about his stay, he seemed to say everything that I thought in my head while examining this place of what I would honestly call terror. It extinguished any respect I had for the assisted living facility, and made me feel sorry for those who could not find a better place to go. I reviewed the place on several websites to get the word out and prevent families from putting their loved ones in such a miserable establishment. This was a terrible, terrible, place.

I visited the South Lyon Gardens Nursing Home three times while in high school. My church sponsored a pumpkin painting event with the elderly residents and the students involved in the churches "youth group". While there, the patients in the home were very kind and welcoming to the foreigners in their abode. They greeted us with open arms, and seemed happy with where they were. We were given the opportunity to see where they resided at night, and the rooms seemed spacious and well- equipped for living. They featured satellite television in nearly every room, along with an adjustable bed, and a window with working blinds. Their beds had small, plastic, tables attached, so that the patients could eat while relaxing. All medical necessities, such as IVs and oxygen tanks, were accessible to the owner of the room, as well as the nurses that operated them. The staff was welcoming as well, and seemed to have friendly relationships with most of their colleagues and patients. I was surprised at the very small number of the elderly population stayed in their room, as I had wondered whether there would be a sense of reluctance to see a great number of teenagers. Their voluntary participation could very well have represented their level of comfort in the South Lyon Gardens Nursing Home. Happiness was abundant, rooms and general areas clean and equipped, and the staff and residents very friendly. This establishment gives a good name to assisted living and nursing homes.
