I had an issue, a HUGE issue in my opinion, with a single nurse named TORI!! I’m on a daily medication for fluid retention that if allowed to get out of control can cause fluid buildup in the lungs and around the heart. I REPEATEDLY asked her to look at my feet and legs that were swollen twice the size they usually are, causing 13lbs of weight gain in 11 days. 1 morning at med pass,(late as usual for her) she put down my meds and out the door she went. As a former nurse myself, I know this is not the way you pass medication. You are to go over every single medication that you hand a person and tell them exactly what it is. If they have any questions, you answer those questions before you leave the room and you watch them take the medication’s before you leave the room. You don’t know if they are putting those in their pocket, throwing them away or handing them to somebody else in their room otherwise. She never once watched me take those meds or told me what was in them. If I hadn’t been a nurse, I wouldn’t have known what was in those and who knows what she would’ve been giving me. Maybe not even my own meds. Medication errors happen more frequently than a lot of people realize. There are so many medications with similar names sometimes that’s easy to do and they’re for vastly different issues. That morning there were three CNA‘s in my room when she did this. I tried to holler at her to come back in the room so I could have her look at my feet and legs again. She just kept walking and ignored me. I asked the CNA to go catch her and have her come back. The CNA went down there and got her to come back and that’s when Tori stood in my doorway, yelled at me and talk to me like I was a moron and didn’t know what I was talking about. She said this medication is written for you as needed and you will get it when you need it. I said I needed it since I’ve been here because I take it daily at home. Again she yelled and said that that’s not how it’s written here. It’s written as needed. And down the hall she went. If I had talked to a patient like that when I was a nurse, I would’ve been fired on the spot, which is what should’ve happened with her. She had been rude to me the entire time I had been there, but the first day I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking everyone has a bad day now and then. I did the same thing on the second day. I continued to treat her with respect as a fellow nurse. I was polite to her, but I didn’t go out of my way to be overly friendly, but I wasn’t rude to her like she was to me. That, however, was the last straw. I went down and asked to speak to her supervisor who I found out later was her best buddy. He was in a meeting, but he did come down to my room later, and I reamed him a new one. His eyeballs got the size of half dollars and I don’t think he knew whether to pee down his leg or run from the room. I told him he better not send her back in my room the rest of the day at least. I also told him I wanted to know what was going on with my meds because that wasn’t the only med I wasn’t getting. I wasn’t getting my medication for narcolepsy. When I got home and this was Veterans Day, my heart doctor doubled up on my water pill and I am just now in March getting the swelling to go down and stay down. Otherwise the nurses and CNA‘s and physical therapy occupational therapy were all fabulous. I didn’t think the CNA‘s that were in the room would back me up and I was fine with that because I knew they had to stay and work with her, but they totally did and I was grateful. The food sucks but I’m a picky eater too. It’s always cold because the rehab is the last one to get fed. Liberty Village and Marion is better. Dad was there before. Food was still cold there, but the people were great, other than he fell a couple times and they didn’t contact me. Not happy about that!

In my experience, the facilities housekeeping staff manager was inept and cowardly, the upper management are greedy and self righteous, and most of the nurses and CNA's are sub standard; ignorant, and lazy to say the least. Not all of them but enough to make being in the facility unbearable. They play the same music over and over day in and day out as if trying out torture methodology.....probably to drown out the yelling from residents who are often left unattended and roaming around the halls confused. The unsuspecting people who are admitted here are, in my opinion, just a dollar sign to the upper management and an inconvenience when friends and family are not around. Please take your loved ones to a place that has more than 3 stars if you can.

My husband was there for rehab recently. He is a type 1 diabetic, amputee and working hard to save his other foot. He had had surgery on his remaining foot and we wanted to build up his strength and improve his transfers with a slide board so no weight was put on his remaining foot. The facility is beautiful and it is kept very clean. We started out with a rough start when told by nurses and aides that there were no bedside commodes. That ended up not being true. Once we got over that hurdle things got much better. The nurses were fine and the aides were remarkable. The aides were so caring and helpful. Rehab was outstanding. That department is a jewel for the facility. Becky, in social services, was so helpful and kind. She is definitely an asset to the facility. Dietary, unfortunately, was lacking. No one from the dietary department came to talk to us. The food was high carb, low protein. Usually protein shakes to aid in healing are available. None were offered. Initially we were told they had no unsweetened tea but that was not true. I ended taking Mike home early because his blood sugars were high and levels under 200 are needed for healing. If they could improve on their dietary department and provide healthier, tasty foods this facility could be the best in the area. Caring was definitely there!
