I went to visit my mother n law today and she had a medical emergency and the staff were great. They jumped right in a helped her. So glad that she has people who actually care about their patients. Very professionally well done greatly appreciated for what they did.
I worked with Laurie who was very professional and compassionate. She really helped to find solutions to help a patient. I felt she went well beyond what I expected.
I was at this facility for 3 weeks before leaving. The therapy was very suitable for my personal needs. The food is well below average, no taste, very small breakfast. I was non weight bearing on 1 leg, so I was very dependent on the employees for all of my needs, from my drinking water to showering and bathroom needs. I lay on more than 1 occasion in my own urine for 2 hours and longer before being cleaned and charged. This is very degrading. I don't care who you are. There is absolutely no privacy for the residents. There is a lot of gossiping. Not professional at all. On Halloween my evening nurse was in the parking lot until a car with her boyfriend for over a hour while I had been requesting pain medication. It's like this facility is "just barely doing the minimum " to stay open. I pray I never go back.
I'm a retired nurse and went visit a family member there (Appomattox Rehab) and I won't call much of the staff health care workers. My family member lays in the bed and now has a bed sore on his bottom and also break down on his heel. There wasn't any chairs for visitors to sit. I asked if they some and they brought in some and said someone could use one of the 2 wheel chairs as a seat. They had a torn place and who ever had used it must have had an accident in it because the family member that sat in it had the back of his pants soaked. The cna said someone must have wet in it. Then when they brought his food in I asked if they could give me help to pull him up cause he was slumped and crooked in the bed. She asked the cna and when he saw me standing he said I could go ahead and help he wouldn't tell and I could tell he wasn't kidding and was not eager to help. Then he kept coming in asking if we needed anything (air condition turned up, door open) and just trying to interrupt our visit with silly remarks. Never doing a thing for the resident. Then after he eats his mash potatoes and half his cake and drank his juice the nurse comes in and takes his Blood Sugar!!!! How acurate is that? Then she does his vitals , checks his respiration without a stethoscope. Do they not check breath sounds? It would probably help to make sure there isn't any changes like pneumonia (rales, wheezing ) from laying in bed. I felt they only came in for show. I have worked short staff many times 12-16 hour shifts. Patient Care came first. You aren't there for just a paycheck. If so or you don't like your job go flip burgers. You treat your patients the way you want your family treated or even yourself!!! Their lives depend on it.
My grandmother was recently at the facility and had a great stay. The facility really took care of her and helped her get back home. She has been home for several weeks now and still talks about how much she enjoyed some of the people there. She feels that she was really taken care of while she was there.
