Been on hold for 30 mins on Monday at 9 am trying to reach a patient...<br><br>But after connecting wiith the manager/owner, its been a great experience from a family perspective. Physical therapy is going well, and nurse and PT supervisors have been very responsive and helpful with our needs.

I was scheduled for Total Hip Replacement on 5/13/26. I called Saylor Lane a few weeks prior to make sure that they accepted my insurance and can do my rehabilitation. My mom had stayed there a few years prior so I was familiar with the facility somewhat. My description on SL would be, low budget but adequate. When I arrived the ambulance driver said something about… if I felt unsafe, or the facility seemed unsanitary and I wanted to transfer to call 911 and I can go to a different facility. I thought huh, that was unexpected. I was there less than 3 hrs and I called 911 to transfer because I felt unsafe. The firefighters said “ get used to it buddy, they’re all the same “ I think 911 is going to charge me for this!?! The Firefighter said that the ambulance driver should have never told me that. First off, no rehab equipment for my type of recovery. I was told that the old owners took everything and the new owner didn’t replace anything. They had physical therapy and occupational therapy work with me a few times in the 6 days I was there. It was adequate but the day I left I was practicing going up and down the asphalt curb on Folsom blvd because they didn’t have the proper equipment inside. No one tells me that I’m supposed to provide my own equipment for rehab until I’m already there. Incredible. I had to order my own off of Amazon. I have equipment already at home and would have brought it. No handicap toilet seats! They had a home made, PVC pipe mobile toilet that they moved in between bathrooms. The wheels were never locked. I couldn’t get help to use this contraption. It had feces smeared on it most every time I used it. I really needed help and it was hard to get. That mobile toilet contraption was for at least 8 rooms with 4 toilets for at least 20 patients. My Roommate, he had to have 24hr observation for which SL had no license for that level of care. My neighbor had to be lifted. The poor CNA has at least 20 patients and 3 patients needed to be lifted. My neighbors culture is beautiful!! Family members were constantly present. It was wonderful to see how family is supposed to be. Except I couldn’t get ANY rest. I was finally getting three straight hours of sleep a day but by day 6 of this I was so sleep deprived I felt like a zombie. My neighbor had no call light switch so I had to call the nurses for him constantly. Again, I was getting no rest after THR surgery. It sucked. I received little assistance for anything. I really needed help going to the bathroom but rarely got it. I was constantly late receiving my medication. Sometimes 1.5 hrs late. I filled my own ice packs multiple times. The employees are over worked, and grossly understaffed. You won’t get the same nurse two days in a row. There were a few employees I recognized from when my mom was there but I was told most have quit after the new owner bought it. 90% of the employees was new and most of them are good people who really try but they have a few employees that try to do absolutely nothing the whole time they are there. Some SL employees are Angels and God has a special place for them. My TV was messed up. The picture and sound went in and out and was mounted almost directly above my head, it sucked!!! After 6 days I could walk fairly good with my walker. I felt unsafe and the facility was unsanitary. I took Uber home. Nobody helped me as I left. I tripped on the carpet going out the door and almost fell, not good!! I’m at home taking care of myself alone 13 days after THR surgery. I should still be in a proper rehabilitation facility. Today’s health care sucks and it doesn’t seem like it will improve anytime soon. I should have took pictures and i should have chosen Bruceville Terrace instead. At least they’re professional. Lastly, the cook is incredibly talented. She can take government, commercial ingredients and make something out of it. Some main courses were incredible and some were inedible. It’s what kept me there for 6 days or I would have left sooner. Thanks for reading.

Saylor Lane. What can I say?<br>I have been an active 82 year old,<br>walking with a cane, and suddenly, unable to even stand .
