I visited SLKD to see a family member. I am a CNA and offered to assist with the family member to take a load off of the staff. Libby (Elizabeth) was extremely generous, kind, understanding, and put the safety of my family member as her top priority. She greeted us with a huge smile and a happy attitude. She watched my transfer and talked me through it to ensure my family members safety. Libby was/is an amazing person to interact with and is so amazing at her job. I trust her with my family member.

My mom is well cared for by the nurses and aides at SKLD Muskegon. They treat her as a person and give her special attention. The staff and care team are easy to communicate with regarding her needs and make changes in her care as needed or requested. My interaction with administration have been very positive and helpful. I recommend SKLD for short-term or long-term care.

My uncle went to SKLD in Muskegon for rehab. I was impressed with the level of care he received. The staff did a great job communicating with us. I was surprised that even the administrator stopped by and introduced herself to us, she is very nice and professional. My experience was great. If we have another family member in need of rehab, we will surely use this location.
