My dad was sent to this facility for rehabilitation on a Monday night On Wednesday my mom and I visited him during which time the PT got him on a walker and was impressed with his walking abilities as he flung the walker in front of his body without using it for support.
The following Saturday my aunt was visiting him and heard him yell out and next heard the caregiver yell at him. She went into his room and asked what was going on and the caregiver told her he was being aggressive. She told him that was not his nature and that perhaps he moved him too fast because he was holding onto the bed rail for dear life.
The same night my sister visited him and called me almost in tears and sent me pictures of a almost 94 year old veteran with a distressed face and she said a tear fell from his eye. I told her to pack his things and have them take him to the hospital to be checked out because he would not be returning. In my 62 years of living I have never seen my dad cry.
Needless to say the majority of professionals that have come in contact with him since taking him out of this facility concur he has fallen because of how he grabs and his anxiety level when moving him in bed. My dad has been bed ridden and has not yet walked since leaving this facility - five days of rehabilitation and he has not walked again.
Also, the stench of urine is so strong in this facility you need a gas mask to breathe. I wouldn t take a dog to this rehab.
I am angry that my dad has lost his ability to walk and I spoke with administration with the above complaints and no one has bothered to call me back with any explanation or concern.
