We brought my dad in around 430pm, left leg swollen and blue. By 8pm a room in the ER was finally ready( he was brought in by ambulance). Where the staff is friendly they were not prepared or set up for success. They had my dad waiting in a tiny room and when his room was ready a tech/ nurse half his size and weight shows up to take him to his room. My dad can t get up by him self ( his leg is swollen and blue and he s 86). She expects me ( I m also half his weight and height) to help him. Once we get him to his ER room she then expects him to get up again alone and climb back into a bed. I had to tell her to get some men to help because I couldn t do it. The paramedics who came over could barely lift him. After waiting 4 hours just to get an ER room than having staff who are expected to do a job they are not physically capable of doing is unrealistic and ridiculous and hinders the care of the patient.
Avoid this hospital if you can.
