Happy National Skilled Nursing Home Week!

In March I underwent double bypass surgery and was sent to The Lodge at Taylor to strengthen my legs and arms. My goals were to walk with a walker, to climb stairs, and to eventually go home. My occupational and physical therapist were very conscientious about the work that they do, they cared about each and every patient. During therapy sessions each therapist is attentive toward all the patients in the gym helping them work toward their goals. During these sessions they provide individualized instruction. In addition to in facility therapy they also did a home evaluation with me, in which they looked at what I needed to be able to do to go home.

I chose Medilodge of Taylor for therapy because I was healing from a broken leg. Bob from Therapy and the nurses have been really sweet to me.

Therapy at The Lodge at Taylor has helped me recover the use of my leg faster than if I had gone home and just sat around and did nothing about getting better. It strengthened my arms so I was able to use a walker and regain the use of my leg faster. I enjoyed my time with all of the therapists. It was also nice to see the progress that the others were making.

We are writing this on behalf of our mother, Meredith McIntosh, who was a patient at your rehab facility from June until September. The care she received was excellent. Your staff was caring, considerate and reliable. Our mom is a dialysis patient, she was admitted due to a surgical wound and had been hospitalized for two months. The first thing The Lodge at Taylor started was physical therapy, which was very hard for mom. They were patient and compassionate. The wound team also did a great job. The wound is completely healed now! The dialysis team was also very kind, caring and professional. We were very pleased with the level of care our mom received, and want to thank everyone. She is very excited to be home, and we know that would not have happened without the expert, professional care she received at The Lodge at Taylor.

I chose The Lodge at Taylor because I receive Dialysis and this facility had both. I care about the staff here and plan to visit once I leave. CNA and Nursing staff really stood out to me. Knowing how hard the work is, as a former CNA myself, I watch workers here team up and work hard together to get what is needed done. They care about us and treat you like family.
