Allegra Nursing and Rehab Jackson, Michigan 49202
Often told "we are understaffed" as reason for untimely patient care. Often had to call the front desk to get staff to respond to patient needs. Patients with special dietary needs (diabetics, those with celiac disease, heart problems) are not accommodated. Their meals are the same as patients on a regular diet. We were told by the person delivering meals that the kitchen goes by calories only. A patient given daily insulin shots was also given pie, pasta, pudding, rice, etc. Smells in the hallways and rooms was unpleasant. Rooms are bland. Many don't have suitable chairs for patients or guests. After 20 days in this facility, patient was no better than when admitted -- could not walk to bathroom or sit up without help. Very little PT or OT done to improve patient's ability to be independent. Would not recommend this facility.
