MIL update number whatever…

 

     This rehab hospital/nursing home my MIL is in sucks.  In spite of this, she’ll soon be out of there.  Yes, they are kicking her to curb on the 22nd because her Medicare will run out then.  I’m glad we have the house ready for her. 

     I hate what they’ve done to her.  They’ve made her a nervous wreck.  She hears the staff fighting among themselves all the time.  Their idea of care is to put a diaper on each patient and leave them to sit in a dirty one for hours on end.  It’s much easier to do that rather than answer call bells and help the patients into the bathrooms.  She’s petrified to use her call bell because the staff is so surly.

     I’m no fan of lazy, negligent health care workers who haven’t a drop of compassion.  I know too many of their ilk.  People like that should find another career instead of making patients suffer their neglect.  Once my MIL is safely out of this joint I will name it on my blog.  However, for now, for her safety and security, I will remain mum on the name of the facility.  This facility is a part of a large corporation that has many such facilities nation wide. 

     Their rating, which I discovered online, is 2 ½ stars.  I won’t go to a movie that has less than a three star rating.

  1. OMG that is awful!!! My great grandfather was in a place like that. When we showed up for a visit he looked like he had not had a bath in a week or more, he smelled, was wearing ripped diry clothes and had messed his pants and was sitting in for who knows how long. We moved him immediately.

    Thank goodness the MIL has a safe place to go and she will be out of there soon

    • When she first arrived there things seemed okay. However, the more time DH spent there with her the more he saw. At first his mother wasn’t telling him what was going on because she’s of the go along get along school. Then after he started complaining about things she began to open up more. One of the PTs helped him by giving him complaint forms. The other staff members were just plain surly with him. Then after I wrote to corporate headquarters things seemed to improve for a while.
      We can’t wait for her to be out of there.
