My father is here now. His doctor said he would be here three days, and see a physical therapist three times a day. The staff here insists on keeping him here at least a week, and he has only seen a PT once in four days.
The staff is persistent in getting him to sign documents he doesn't want to sign and make end-of-life decisions my parent already made before he arrived, that they're trying to get him to change. They're bullying both him and my mother.
The worst part is, he fell out of bed his first night here. No one attended to him for hours. When they finally did, their solution was, "we'll put a pad next to the bed and an alarm in case it happens again." The external bedding is slippery to begin with - my father continually needs to be physically raised up while sitting up in bed because there is no friction to keep him in one place.
It is clear that the management here has a context of exploiting their patients, through poor treatment and resignation of their rights. My family is trying to find an alternative solution for his rehab needs, while the staff here is dragging their feet in their own interests.
