Nursing Home Communities in Lansing, MI

"When someone is admitted to a nursing home or rehabilitation facility, they always come with unique circumstances and needs. Those that staff “good” facilities, demonstrate awareness, sensitivity, creativity, flexibility and a commitment to the care of each and every new resident. When my 96 year old mother in law desperately needed to be admitted to a rehab facility 16 days ago…at a very late hour…the director of The Regency, West Lansing stepped up. After 16 hours in a local ER, and after numerous back and forth phone calls, Mom was finally admitted to the Regency at 11 pm. Over the next two weeks she received superb care, particularly Physical Therapy and Occupational therapy. Her nurses were very sensitive to her needs and those of her 96 year old husband who was her constant companion, supporter and motivator. The food she received was very adequate. Mom came home today and she and our whole family are so very grateful to the staff at Regency Lansing West for the wonderful experience she and our whole family had during her stay. If we ever need the services of a nursing home or rehab facilty in the future, Regency will be our first call. "

"When I toured it was very light, clean and everyone on staff that i met was very friendly. Now our son is living there and they seem to be very efficient in their care. The admitting meeting left a little to be desired. Instead of sitting in a conference room they all stood around my son's room and there were no chairs and the room mate was there so we didn't want to interfere with his space. awkward! "

"When I first visited the Dimondale Nursing Care Center I was impressed with the exterior look of the building. It appeared to be well cared for and the parking lot and grounds were clean and neat. Upon entering the facility I encountered several residents who seemed to be unattended near the entrance without any staff in sight. Although I am sure there are multiple residents that are able to care for themselves, this did concern me because of their proximity to the entrance and the possibility that they could leave without anyone knowing where they were. In addition it seems strange that visiting guests can just enter without having to provide any kind of identification or being asked if they need assistance. Other than that initial concern, the facility itself appeared to be clean and neat and the staff that I encountered were very friendly. There was a large lunchroom and I saw a couple of postings for upcoming events to it appears that the residents have the option to do different activites on different days. "

"My sister and I went on a tour of this facitlity and we were very inmpressed with the cleanliness and staff and wanted our mom to rest comfortably and have a more at home feel since the rooms were set up, in our eyes, like an apartment. We met with the person in charge and she informed us that there would be a $25.00 application fee. She also told us that my mom would be a good fit but the waiting period was about 6 months. After waiting our 6 months they received all of the paperwork necessary to move my mom in. Upon hearing that my mom had sores and that they could re-open they declined her. However, we had to call several times to find out that information. It is our opinion that in order to maintain a high rating with the state they couldn't have anyone there with my moms condition. We were very disappointed after we were told she was a good fit. "

"Ingham County Medical Care was a very good place, except they made my husband leave too soon. The care was good. The staff has very good work ethics, and the food was very good, too. He had a semi-private room, and it was adequate but on the small side. "

"Eaton County Medical Care looks very new. It was fabulous, very clean, modern and the staff were excellent. My dad got rehab twice a day. He had a broken hip and he did very well with it. It was a great experience. "

"My mother was there about six months ago for about 4 months all together. Her saying was "if you have to be somewhere, it might as well be here!" She loved the large varity of activities daily, there seemed to always be something different to do (not just bingo and cards, although they did that too :)) all throughout the day. The gal's who ran the activities were very creative and kind with the residents, We were even able to attend mass in the building which was extremely helpful for mom. The physical therapy program she was on got her right up on her feet again and the staff that worked her hall were very nice, and did everything they could to make her feel at home. The room was quite large, and there were no visiting hours, which worked well with my families busy schedule. We still go back and visit when we are able. I cant say enought about this amazing place! I recomend this facility to everyone I know! "

"Ovid Healthcare Center seems to do a pretty good job so far. My dad hasn't had any complaints about anything. There always seems to be an ample amount of staff there. The rooms are a pretty good size, fairly simple, and functional. The few people that I talked to at the desk have been helpful. They assisted me in getting him the things that I bring in and they're fairly personable. The food is pretty simple. The facilities are not super attractive or welcoming, but it has a nice courtyard. They have varied activities. They recently had a management change."

"I visited Pleasant View two years ago. It's brand new, built within the last five years. It's a nice place, and they seemed to have good workers there. I believe it's a nursing home. The staff was good, it all looked really nice, it had a nice layout. The community room where we're at was really inviting, nice, and big. It's very clean, and they have attentive staff."
