Was not a good experience. My grandmother went in after hospital stay for rehabilitation to get stronger before coming home. Sadly once the day shift left and night shift came on, there was no care. Several times my grandmother needed assistance due to sliding down in the bed and didn’t have the strength to pull herself up or over. When she called for help it was at least a 45 min wait before anyone would check on her. By that time my grandmother had called us making aware and we would call to ask them to please go and help her. I have been there twice when we needed assistance and couldn’t get anyone to come in and help. She dreaded the night because she knew she would have to lay in the same position until the next morning and she would not be changed. She would have a wet or soiled diaper on. Prior to her hospital stay she was able to go to the bathroom on her own. But again, she wasn’t strong enough to get out of bed by herself and needed help. She’s on oxygen and at times felt like she couldn’t breathe. Made her very anxious because she couldn’t pull herself up to change position and for 30 min to an hour would wait for help. She hated to call us so she tried to wait it out in hopes someone would come. We decided to take her out of the facility early and it was the best decision made. We reported this several times and voiced our concerns regarding the night shift and there was no improvement. I work in the healthcare myself and from what I witnessed, there was no excuse for the lack of care she received. The staff should be made to lay in one position for at least 1-2 hrs just to see what it feels like and maybe they would have some empathy for someone laying in the same position for 8-12 hrs. Very stressful situation for our family and grandmother.
