What this means for your family
Medilodge of Livingston is frequently cited for its strong rehab services and compassionate nursing staff, making it a potential candidate for recovery. However, families should be vigilant regarding the quality of food and the consistency of room cleanliness. We strongly recommend visiting during off-hours to observe staffing levels and asking management directly about their current turnover and response protocols.

“I couldn't even sit on my own when I got to Medilodge of Livingston. But I had physical therapy every single day and they wouldn't let me give up but encouraged me literally every st”
“My husband was a patient here for PT and dialysis. He's was very happy with the nurses, staff and overall faculty. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.”
“The rooms are uncomfortably cramped for 2 person living space. The third party food service that MOL uses needs to provide better quality(healthier choices for older folk) food in my opinion.”
