Medilodge at the Shore

DO NOT bring your loved one here if they are not able to care for themselves in some capacity. If your family member is completely vulnerable this is not the place! I put blame on the admission team and leadership for accepting a resident whose level of care appears to exceed what the facility can realistically provide. It’s not the staffs fault for their lack of knowledge and familiarity in higher levels of care. As a family, we have felt the need to be constantly present and involved because we have not yet been given confidence that our loved one can safely be left unattended here. Unfortunately, that can come across as overbearing, when in reality it comes from concern and lack of trust built through our experience during this first week. I truly hope our opinion changes with time, but at this point I am not very optimistic. The responsibility for this situation falls largely on the individuals overseeing admissions and operational decisions. I do want to recognize RN Crystal, who has been one of the main reasons we have stayed, along with the wound care and speech therapy staff, who have all been compassionate and helpful.
