An updated review. Here is what I will say about any place like this. First stop often. Different days different times different meals. Second do full body check on your loved one often. Yes. Full. Third. Ask nurse to print meds being given. You have the right. They can stop. Add and change without telling you. Fourth. You can get second opinion by going to your own doctors. Or even emergency room. You must be their advocate and oversight

My dad has been at Michaelsons for rehab for about a month now. He enjoys the people in the therapy department, the people that help him with the things he needs help with, and he really enjoys the food! He had lost quite a bit of weight in the hospital and has gained it all back :). The concierge, Vicki and Nicole, are always kind, the driver, Gary, is super dependable. The DON is very helpful as are the floor nurses and CNAs. I have slept well while my dad is in their care.

I moved to Covenant Living at the Holmstad less than 2 weeks ago. Holmstad is everything I had hoped for and much, much more! First of all, it is so well run, everything I needed was completed on time and without any effort on my part. All my needs have been anticipated beginning with my moving and packing needs. Once I moved the fantastic,hardworking, friendly staff provided all the information and services I need to live very comfortably here. I feel so well cared for and comfortable in my little cottage. Besides having well trained, committed staff the residents are friendly and eager to get to know me and help me integrate into the community. I anticipate many, many happy years ahead in this warm, friendly, well managed community.

Unfortunately my family and I had a pretty devastating and terrible experience with Michaelson’s HCC. My father and I were looking for continued rehab for my grandma. When we toured the facility everything was wonderful. We were told on the tour that a private room was available, they could help provide transport to dialysis, and they take Medicare & Medicaid. All of which were very important factors when we were touring a rehab facility. My father and I toured on a Friday, an official referral was sent to admissions by Monday. Diana in admissions was aware we needed a room on 8/21 and provided hesitation of concern that this would be an issue. Fast forward to today, Thursday at 3 pm, Diana calls and says she doesn’t have a bed available for my grandmother. The referral was sent 4 days prior and we were just now being notified?! It saddens me that we have many hoops to jump through- location, insurance, dialysis, etc. and Michaelson’s thought it was appropriate to call and “deny her due to bed availability” with 24 hours left to find a new location, dialysis, and transport. Michaelson’s, these are peoples lives you’re messing with. You’re leaving people with no options because of your poor communication and planning. Admissions KNEW we needed a bed, she had all of the information she needed to decide if they could take my grandma. And here we are scrambling trying to find care for my grandma with only 1 day to<br>Figure it out. No one deserves this amount of added chaos during an already very chaotic and stressful time. To Michaelson’s - DO BETTER, because people are depending on you.
