The nurses on the 4th floor took excellent care of my mother. I mean excellent and I'm extremely grateful for them. When my mother left the Brookdale hospital and was given a week to live, my sister and I decided to bring her back to BUMCH for pallatative care on the 2nd floor. The nurses took great care of her until her final breath which was taken today, December 18, 2025. If I can give 6 stars, I would. God bless the staff. They made us feel comfortable and encouraged us while caring for her. They even dealt with the deceased body with great care and respect. No words can express how grateful we are that she passed around the them. Thank you all! I forgot to mention that they allowed me to spend the night with my mom as she was actively dying. I slept in a recliner in her room. I worked remote every day I went and the wifi was awesome. They made this difficult situation a little easier to bear.

The building is clean. The security was on point. Staff seems to be friendly. Every place I went I saw the custodian cleaning putting the garbage out things too on people's cars .

Patient neglect lead to sepsis, 4.7 hemoglobin, all numbers were off. One CNA for a patient who needs two resulting in the 85 year old patient falling on the floor. I heard this dump was to close last year, it can't come soon enough. Alot of unqualified CNAS. Waiting almost a month and a half for the patients medical records, nothing so far. The social worker said she'd take care of it. Nothing, she should return the $100 she took from me. IN MY OPINION
