I was told that this was one of if not the best for rehabilitation. This was a very regretful choice and I wouldn't send my Father back here after our experience.

First, the rooms are very dirty. Days go by with trash on the floor or used tools, drinks, or food left out. Upon release my Father's physical therapy has been delayed b/c Cardinal Hill took a WEEK to get the home health PT his orders. Kudos.

My father had a rare illness and lost full use of his hands. So needless to say using the "Call remote" was hard for him. It was hooked up to the wall and if it fell out of bed, how the hell was he supposed to get it? Rather than have the call button on the bed worked and hooked up?

He was left in the bathroom on his own constantly while I was there. Many signs say do not leave patient untended. Yes I was there, but I was not cleared by the hospital to help him move or get up etc. Again, his lack of use of his hands made it hard to use the call chain in the bathroom... but they left him.

Nurses with pissy attitudes. I was there when he used the call button and the day nurse "What is it now "Name" - When she had been in the room beside us gabbing away sitting in a chair with another patient. I guess the old man who couldn't WALK or hold things had become a burden on them.

His first night they refused to help him to the bathroom b/c he hadn't been evald by the PT staff but it was later when he was admitted so they weren't there.So here are adult pull ups?!?! You're NURSES... help the man, again who can't walk to the damn bathroom!

Using students for PT or OT? He developed a yeast infection near the small of his back. I could go on but Ive made my point. Its a craphole and an hour from his family's home that I made the decision for b/c of rep. I should have kept him closer to home if for needing a loving attitude and understanding alone. They couldn't wait to rush him out with little to show for it. Shame on you people.

The ONLY.. and I mean ONLY reason I don't give it 1 star is b/c of how good Nurse AJ was to my scared and suffering father.
