So my mother was recently admitted to this God forsaken facility for 5 days total. She was first seen at a stand alone ER, and transported to CMC-Union. They didn't change the IV tape that was holding down her catheter, which has days old, dried blood all over it. Her IV was bleeding, and when I asked the nurse to check it twice, she sighed really loud and was rude. The nurses aide who came to check vitals throughout the night freaked my mom out when her O2 level was 88%, without oxygen, by asking if she was breathing okay, which caused my mom to freak out and her heart rate jumped up. They left my mother laying on bloody bed sheets for days, until I came up there and started raising hell to have them changed, I ended up doing it myself. They didn't give my mom a bath, not even a sponge bath, even when her Doctor said it was okay, and my mom begged for a sponge bath, nothing until her last night there and then I had to call the nurse two times to get them to bring soap and wash clothes. This hospital needs to step up and take pride in their work. They need new nurses who know what they are doing and aren't just playing on facebook, when a patient or patients loved one walks by. This is uncalled for, and I will be reporting the nurse, and her aide to the board of directors. DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY HERE!! They deserve NO STARS
