Overall Review of Medilodge Of Lansing

common 18 reviews mention this

Staff kindness is mixed

Residents and families describe staff as both genuinely caring and also dismissive at times.

Many reviewers say the staff is friendly, empathetic, and helpful, including CNAs and nurses working as a team. A few reviews also describe more reassuring communication when families call for updates. At the same time, other reviews criticize staff behavior, responsiveness, and compassion during difficult situations, including allegations of rude or neglectful treatment. Overall, the reviews suggest the experience can vary depending on the situation and the person involved.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Food quality and temperature complaints

Several reviews say food is unappealing or served cold.

Some reviewers mention food not being very good, and others specifically call out meals arriving not very warm or even cold. One reviewer adds that the facility would not reheat or microwave food when it did get cold. A separate review also expresses extreme dissatisfaction with the quality of meals during a stay.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and safety concerns

A recurring issue in reviews is cleanliness and sanitation during visits and stays.

A portion of reviews describe the building as clean, secure, and well kept, including comments about the facility looking clean on entry. Others report sanitation problems, hazards, and maintenance issues they noticed during visits, including concerns about how areas are handled and whether staff use hygiene practices appropriately. There are also reviews describing the facility as ran down or dirty, with specific observations about the grounds and rooms. Taken together, cleanliness is a noticeable point of disagreement across reviews.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Help and communication can fail

Multiple reviews say families struggle to get help or updates when they need them.

Several negative reviews focus on difficulty contacting the facility, including claims that calls were not answered. Others describe call-button or staff response problems, such as residents not getting assistance when they press for help or when medications are requested. A few reviews also describe situations where the reviewer felt staff did not respond quickly enough during emergencies or when basic needs weren’t met. These themes point to communication and follow-through as a recurring concern in some experiences.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Food safety and staffing issues

Some reviews attribute problems to understaffing or shifting coverage.

One reviewer says the facility had trouble keeping staff, with positions rotating, vacancies, and new trainees. Another review complains about a lack of janitorial staffing and nursing staff, tying that to cleanliness and patient care concerns. Both reviews connect staffing coverage to everyday outcomes rather than isolated incidents.
