Kershaw Health is a poor excuse for care ! My elderly mother was treated worse than a dog. She was left on the toilet for 45 mins for a nurse to go get a diaper for her and the nurse NEVER came back, my mom had to work her way back to her bed alone. She is a fall risk and was NOT supposed to have to do that. The room was NASTY, blood fromt daily medications until she had an episode with severe chest pains, 3 nitroglycerin pills and her blood pressure was way too high. She normally takes 3 blood pressure pills daily at home and has for over 20 yrs. She could have had a stroke or went into cardiac arrest and Kershaw Health would have been responsible. She would call for a nurse to help her to the bathroom and wait 35 to 45 mins and one not show up and a family member happen to show up for a visit and them have to take her. Her bed alarm was not put on but one time during her 4 day stay and that was After I spoke with Administration about ALL the issues. They promised her stay would be better from that minute on and she was there another day and a half day and it never improved. All it was was broken promises. Kershaw Health treated her poorly. It was a case of elderly abuse instead of care. I hope none of my family has to ever be seen in this so called facility ever again. No wonder there is so much disease, mrsa, infections and sickness when a room doesn't get cleaned.
