Review

When it comes to choosing a facility for your loved ones, it is important to consider all options carefully. In one unfortunate case, a mother fell and broke her leg in two spots, leading her family to select a facility based on ratings. However, this decision proved to be disappointing as their expectations for quality care were not met. The mother experienced delays in receiving meals and pain medication, enduring ten hours without the relief she desperately needed. Furthermore, she was left unattended on the toilet for over 30 minutes, causing her immense pain when she had to navigate a wheelchair on her own. This neglect prompted the family to make multiple complaints to both the corporate office and the state of Wisconsin.

Contrastingly, another family had an entirely positive experience with Odd Fellow Home when their husband required therapy after breaking his hip. The therapists provided excellent care, enabling him to regain mobility through daily sessions. Although he did not partake in the activities offered by the facility, they were reported to be of good quality. Additionally, the food served surpassed expectations and brought comfort during what would otherwise have been difficult times for both patient and family members.

In another scenario, a mother found herself in need of rehabilitation services at Odd Fellow Home after being hospitalized. Initially slow progress was observed upon admission; however, as time went on, improvements became evident. Occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) played essential roles in her recovery journey, with most therapists proving helpful throughout their sessions together. Her room within the rehab area resembled that of a hospital setting but still maintained a sense of comfort and privacy due to its private nature.

Another individual has nothing but praise for Odd Fellow Home after his wife spent several months there while battling illness. Despite having been confined to a nursing room for over 20 years prior to this stay, he found the environment at Odd Fellow Home incredibly pleasant due to recent renovations that have made it more modern and inviting. The staff's care and attention were exceptional, from the nurses to the aides, who displayed kindness and promptness in their service. The cleanliness of the facility further added to the positive experience that this individual had.

Overall, Odd Fellow Home appears to have mixed reviews. While some families encountered issues with neglect and delays in care, others had exceptionally positive experiences, commending the therapy sessions, activities, and overall level of comfort provided. It is essential for individuals to thoroughly research and consider all aspects when choosing a facility for loved ones, ensuring that their specific needs will be met in the best possible manner.
