PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR FAMILY TO BE PLACED HERE!...

PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR FAMILY TO BE PLACED HERE!!!!! My mother almost died from this facility and their staff s negligence and incompetence. She went in walking and left in a wheelchair. Her stay here was a total nightmare on every level. We had to have my mother taken from this place and taken to a much better facility after she ended up with a stage 5 wound (which she got from this facility and they had no idea how to treat). She just had to be taken to the hospital to have surgery last week to remove the infected tissue because the wound could not heal due to them leaving her in her own urine for hours at a time. She now also has a bacterial infection, which will require her to be in long term antibiotics, due to this filthy place. We just had her removed from this place and taken to a much nicer facility with competent and caring staff.

The facility:
First, the entire facility from the moment you first walk in smells like urine and feces. I had gone on different days at different times, but the strong odor was ALWAYS present. There is mold on all of the air vents and the ceiling.

The staff:
All of the staff are fake nurses who are only there to collect a paycheck...and they make sure you know it. They overmedicated my mother, and now her new facility is correcting her dosages. I cannot believe that these people are actually working with vulnerable people. There was a patient with mental illness issues who walked right into my mother s room and laid in her bed and no one was watching her. When I told the staff about the incident, their response was Oh, she s not violent. Really??

The social worker:
I have fought to have my mother removed from this place for 6 months, and the social worker, who is supposed to conduct the CARES assessment, never did, so we thankfully had wonderful staff at the hospital she was at who gave us the low down on Pompano Health and Rehab and told us not to allow our mother to go back there. They told us that people have died at Pompano Health and Rehab due to their neglectlful staff.

The administrator:
I have sent countless emails and made countless phone calls to the administrator, Nashika Jackson, but unfortunately, I have never received the common courtesy of neither a phone call nor an email back from her. It s as if she is non-existent.

I am just relieved that my mother s unneccessary suffering is over, and she can move on with her life. She is much happier now, and so are we. I just felt it was important that the truth be told about this place and their staff from the administrator to the facilities worker. This place needs to be shut down.

****PLEASE RESEARCH THEIR INSPECTIONS BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER HAVING YOUR LOVED ONE PLACED IN THIS DEATH TRAP****
