The facility is decrepit and dirty. The second floor smells of nothing but urine. I worked in…read morehospital settings and have never smelled any care unit, long term or otherwise that smelled this disgusting. Also, they disregard patient rights, catering to family members with ill intent. On their cameras, if they have them and had they paid any attention, they would see a family member horse collaring a patient. Yet they cater to this person, and isolate the patient against their will. After speaking to the Ombundsman of the Center for Aging, Veterans Affairs, my attorney, and my father's VA advocate (whom the facility and the family member used as a scape goat to deny the patient's rights) all told me this was illegal. They deny patients the opportunity to speak to or see their family members based on the wishes of the power of attorney. As I said, this is illegal based on the information conveyed by ALL the above sources. They have also taken incorrect notes regarding calls of the patient. If they can not take proper notes, how could their charting POSSSIBLY be done accurately and correctly? Charting is the way in which a facility covers their ass and ensures patient safety, i.e documenting medication, baths, incidents, etc. If they fraudulently note phone calls, what should we expect from their charts? They don't have the common sense to note that more than one phone may be under a single cell phone account. My father was denied calls from me, his daughter, because my cell phone number is under my mothers account, his ex wife. They did not, however, note the number was not my mothers which they easily could have, as I left them my phone number, and my step mother has my telephone number. So, duh! Also the halls are lined with equipment which according to several oversight agencies this is considered highly unsafe and is not allowed. However, patients in wheel chairs find it very difficult to move through the halls. Apparently, this facility has a very high fall rate as well, which is no surprise. Emergency services would struggle to navigate the halls in a code blue situation. Of course, its likely the nursing staff would take a while to notice that someone had stopped breathing since while I was there a patient was yelling for over an hour and a half because they were sitting in filth. NO ONE HAD CHECKED ON THE POOR LADY. We had to seek help ourselves. The facility is falling apart. Light fixtures hanging, wall paper hanging... The excuse? COVID. COVID was years ago. Come on. This place should be shut down. I also wouldn't feed a dog the food they feed their patients. The nursing home business is quite lucrative so this is very indicative of how their administrators and directors feel about their patients worth. This facility should be shut down. Dying here, neglected and alone, are people's family members, Veterans, loved ones, HUMAN BEINGS! ROSEVIEW SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. Can't wait for the Department of Health to get involved.
