Stay Far Away From Worthington Center. Worthington Center in Parkersburg, WV, withholds medical records and illegally releases medical records to CPS attorneys and judges without signing a consent form—corruption at its finest. .......
Not the greatest place for my Grandmother to stay, she doesn’t get fair treatment and they are not doing their job as they are supposed to, and I’m glad to get her out of there soon, they truly don’t understand the amount of care and compassion you have to have when taking care of elderly people that aren’t well or even mentally there, it is really sad, I would go elsewhere for elderly care. Update: Grandma’s been out for over a month and doing a little bit better, they are a pain to deal with when they send you a lot of letters in the mail that say that you owe them money that you do not, so please take my advice - don’t send your relatives there at all period.
Working in a skilled nursing facility/assisted living home is a tough job - physically and mentally. I think the best you can hope for when a loved one goes into any facility is that they get the care they need and are treated with dignity and shown grace. My mother spent her final three months at Worthington and we were very happy with her care. Between my sister, dad and myself, we were there quite often. We believe our mom got great care but we also observed care provided to other patients and (quite often under the radar because of where my mom's space was situated). I honestly believe the residents around my mom were all treated with grace. And there were some challenging personalities. If you have a loved one that needs long-term care/skilled nursing ... I would recommend Worthington. I understand all experiences are not the same but we were very pleased with the care and attention provided to my mom.
I have a friend here currently i visit daily and help with some of her daily care like bathing and dressing.i will say having a good support system is huge when it comes to your loved one going home from a nursing facility and getting better. You have to be there for them, they need the people they love! The staff is very helpful anytime I need anything to help with my loved ones care they are quick to get it for me even when they are crazy busy. I see them work very hard they really do their best and even take time to remember little things the clients like to make their experience there fun.
My mom went in on Thursday and died the following Monday covered in her own piss. She needed suction and her machine was not even working. When her significant other showed up Monday he had to raise hell to get them to call a squad. He found her hanging off the bed covered in urine. She coded in the parking lot. She was dnr so they let her go of course. When I called to ask how she was I was told she was fine. I was told they were looking into PT for her to get stronger. I wouldn’t even give them 1 star but I had to.
