My Father was assigned to King Rehab Houghton Lake after a hospital stay. Once it was determined he was not going to be able to return to his home safely we started looking for skilled nursing homes in an area more closely located to siblings and children. Dad required transportation 3 days a week for dialysis and this was provided with a caring and compassionate driver, Alyssa. I had occasion to meet dad at some of his appointments that he was taken to and meet and interface with Alyssa. What a Caring individual!! She kept me informed at all times concerning dad’s travel needs. Dad’s care during his rehabilitation made him confident in wanting to stay at kings for his care. We made arrangements for him to stay and the office staff helped with the transition. After a hiccup with his Medicaid application, the new admin Mindy stepped in and helped us get dad assigned as a permanent resident. Everyone I interfaced with for dad’s care was fantastic but a shining star was Jessica. On more than one instance she was directly involved with advocating for dads cares and needs and keeping me informed. She made sure dad had whatever he asked for to a T. When Dad passed I still found myself drawn to this facility to donate resident creature comforts and keep in touch with the Ladies that made his time there so special.
