I would not house my worst enemy here. I escaped this hell hole 2/23/25 and wouldn’t even give them a one star except for the fact that I had to to get to the comment section. I am a 75 year old recently widowed disabled sometimes in a wheelchair, who had foot surgery 12/27/24 and agreed to go to this place for rehab. I DO NOT have Alzheimers nor do I have dementia as 95% of the folks in this facility do. In this place, the right hand does not have a clue what the left hand is doing AND they’re playing with lives there. Had I not been in my right mind, the first night there they would have killed me by giving me blood pressure meds I did not need. My correct med doseages were actually in my records had they actually taken the time to look and, READ!!! As I slowly found out during the 5 weeks I spent at this place, they don’t follow prescribed meds and dosages from the most recent med records but put you on what they think you should take. The ones they believe you should be on instead. Most of the blood pressure machines are miscalibrated so, it was just luck that I brought my own BP cup to prevent them from logging miscalibrated numbers for me. Pity the ones who are medicated according to their machines and they were housing 120 I believe. The employees have no clue as regards patients rights while in this place because 3 times they came into my room and took things from me including my diabetic test strips, insulin and a number of nutritional supplements I’d brought in. I am a nutrition nut who believes you are what you eat. The dangerous part about this is that they WERE NOT managing my diabetes. I was secretly doing so myself. They didn’t even want my input about it. Seems when I entered this place I gave up all rights to manage my own life and health when I came through their front door. Also, I was denied the ability to go outside for some fresh air by one of the part time physical theropists because “she said so”. Same with a friend I’d met in there. This and the fact that the codes to the front doors were never current as they were supposed to be kept. This keeps the Alzheimers and dementia patients from escaping but it also makes us totally sane feel litterly trapped in there. Also. I was contaminated twice by quarantined patients who were in the main reception area visiting with everyone. I complained and asked why they let quarantines contaminate every one and they said “it was the quarantines right”. I then asked what about the Covid patients leaving their rooms. They said “same thing – they had rights too”. The Thursday before the 3 day weekend while I was there three women from the finance office came to me and said they were releasing me that Saturday because Medicare/Medicade was going to stop paying for me and if I stayed I had to sign their required papers for “long-term” care. This they notified me of on a Thursday, the day before the date of release. The Thursday before a 3 day holiday weekend. I found out previous to this meeting that Life Care Center are the ones who say if you are mentally and physically fit to leave that place. There are a number of long-term care residents there who are litterly TRAPPED in that place and cannot get out of there. NO WAY was I signing up for long term care. There were many who worked there that were my saving grace. Betty, the two reception gals at the front desk, Jole my sometimes night nurse and a number of aides and others who work for next to nothing but do most of the work. The 6 physical theropists (not the one who wouldn’t let me outside that terrible day). l thank God for you all and bless you. The food there is pretty good and sometimes very inventive if you choose what they serve you. No one who is not there constantly could know all the hell that goes on in that place “behind the scenes”. Advice from one of the long term nurses helped me “see the light”. So, if your into it for the food – go for it. If you value your or your loved ones lives – STAY AWAY!!! There’s much more so if you want the full low-down give me a heads-up.
