My mom spent ten days at Adventura Hospital and was recovering well from Conjective heart failure. All the Doctors agreed that her vital signs were greatly improved and she was transferred on May 5 to this facility, her condition immediately went downhill and she passed away at 7 am on Friday May 7, less then 48 hours after she was admitted. I happened to stop by at 1 am Friday morning to see how she was and from the hallway I heard her yelling for help, she was alone sitting on the edge of the bed saying she couldn't breath I immediately ordered the nurse to give her a full face oxygen mask and they gave her a tranquilizer and she dozed off, my immediate gut feeling was to get her out of there and to call 911 one of the nurses' talked me out of it. At 6:45 am the police called to tell me my mom passed away, 4 hours after I left her. Miami Jewish Home also called at 7 am to tell me my Mom was taken to Mt Sinia Emergency room which was incorrect it was North Shore Medical Center. They couldn't even get that straight. When I came to pickup her belongings her $2000 hearing aid and charger were missing. This place looks good but is not equipped to handle cardiac patients there were no doctors working the overnight shift and the staff is below average on cardiac care. My mom paid with her life. US News and World Reports ranked this facility 2 stars and below average on pulmonary care and life expectancy which I found out the hard way.
