Life Care Center of Plainwell

My mother spent time at Life Care Center of Plainwell, and overall I found it to be better in many ways than many Medicaid-accepting facilities we encountered. There are a lot of wonderful people on the staff who treated my mother with kindness, compassion, and dignity during an incredibly difficult time. For that, I am grateful. That said, I would strongly encourage families to keep a close eye on personal belongings and carefully consider what valuables or sentimental items they allow to remain in residents’ rooms. It seems there may be some sticky fingers going on. Early on, a few dollars disappeared from my mother’s wallet. Later, a sweater I had lent her to wear home from the hospital went missing. Shortly before she died, I bought her coloring books, crayons, and a few other small comfort items, and those disappeared as well. Perhaps the most difficult missing item to deal with came after her death. The one thing I wanted returned was her wallet because it contained old photographs and personal memories, the last little bit of things my mother had and cherished. That wallet was never recovered. I don’t know who was responsible, and I don’t believe these incidents reflect the character of many caring staff members who worked there. However, the repeated disappearances were significant enough that I feel families should be aware and take precautions with personal belongings. I remain appreciative of the many good people who cared for my mother, while also wishing stronger safeguards were in place to protect residents’ possessions and treasured keepsakes.

My loved one is receiving rehab for mobility and we are very grateful for the assistance! 4 days in and the staff has been Fantastic to all family members. Well coordinated, clean and the meals that are served have been enjoyable🙌🏼 💟

This is Susan Cantrell. I am Sherry Spencer Sister… We were Or in Plainwell, Michigan for three days to visit my sister… We thought that life care center did a great job with my sister…

Though my spouse has been here only a few days I like what I see. Everything is in-house for the most part. The staff are very good at what they do along with being honost, polite and pleasant. And they cooperate with the VA.

Easy to sign in. Very helpful staff. Our visit with our family member was very nice. The room was clean and comfortable.
