LPNS BE WARNED:
Your license will be at risk if you work here.
They use their LPN nurses in the same capacity as their RNs including assigning LPNs to do IV heparin, RN assessments, and they have LPNS supervising RNs. They do not follow the Nurse Practice Act and your license will be in danger.
My aunt attended the Adult Day Program for 5 years. She stayed in the transitional care unit after sustaining a fall and another time for pneumonia. During her final days she was transferred there and enrolled in Hospice. The team was beyond compassionate and treated my aunt with dignity and respect throughout each of her stays. She ended up passing surrounded by family and staff whom knew and deeply cared for her. Walker Methodist is the perfect mix of complex care knowledgeable nurses and a family/patient centered care plan. I am forever thankful.
Mom was in LTC at Walker Methodist (Bryant Street - 7th Floor)) for a little over 7 months and has recently moved into Assisted Living. Our family has nothing but kind words and thank yous for the staff that took care of mom. Everyone was attentive and respectful, although she had favorites, from the aides to the nurses to the aides, she never complained about anyone. It was clean, the food looked good and there were activities she really enjoyed. She also loved the church service, the music and the ministers and so did I as I attended the weekly service with her. We were sad when we left, although happy she could move into AL.
My mother had excellent care at WMHC! Thankyou all so much!
Love the staff always friendly! I can come and go anytime day or night. 1am not a problem staff is still there to Greet you. Definitely has home like feel to it! Thank You for all that you do from the Johnson Family!
The health team now more than ever needs to communicate with families that have a loved one unable to advocate for themselves beyond the covid information robocall. Guardians should not be shocked to learn while doing a welfare check that their loved one has been moved to a different floor no matter what the circumstances and justification is. We are still anxiously waiting for that phone call back after leaving messages for an update on our loved from the health care team.
This is a PRE-review, in hopes that my mom, who just moved in today, gets the best care on the planet. She is not the easiest person to be around in her state of mind right now, in a new and unfamiliar environment, but she is the kindest, most genuinely caring mom anyone would want, and like everyone's mom - deserves the best. I thank you, in advance, for being patient, caring and kind with, and to her. :-)
My brother got loving and attentive care while at Walker Methodist after a stroke. He has had a TBI since 15 and we have struggled to get his needs met. While at Walker, he was happy with his care. In particular, his social worker helped to identify his needs and advocated for him in ways that we as a family have been seeking for 50 years. Shelly Tennison is an angel sent from heaven who literally has changed his and subsequently his family s lives forever. I will forever be indebted to Walker Methodist staff and facilities and to Shelly Tennison in particular.
Don't work here unless you do not mind the poor communication, constant stress, and lack of appreciation and leadership.
The "good job" leaves, the lame free pizza etc was not enough. How about an actual sit down to say thank you.
The administrator I hear likes to scapegoat and put people under the bus because she is driven by emotion.
For a non-profit, it sure is corporate.
My stay there was very productive and the PT & OT teams were particularly effective in preparing me for my return home. All staff were helpful and caring.
