UPDATE:
We just received their letter indicating the…read moreoutcome of their 'so-called" investigation regarding my husband's lack of care in their facility. NOTE: I was there at their facility visiting my husband every day, sometimes, twice a day, for a considerable length of time. So, I DID see what was going on.
1. Their claim: "They went in to bathe him four times, but he refused two times."
I KNOW this is false because I asked my husband and staff at the time about cleaning him, clean bed linens, and a clean hospital gown. He was bathed only twice in 7 days. (at the time I wrote my review, he had been bathed only once and the sheets had not been changed nor was his hospital gown changed, but because I complained, they finally gave him a sponge bath and changed his gown and the sheets at 6:30 am the next morning).
2. Their claim: "Our investigation revealed that the required therapy minutes by the (missing word?) provided by all disciplines."
The following was his schedule: (I have the original schedules of every day except Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday of days where no sessions were given. Nor do I have a Monday schedule, because it was not planned for his day of release)
a. Monday & Tuesday: no sessions
b. Wednesday: one therapy session
c. Thursday: four sessions (right shoulder was dislocated)
d. Friday: One OT session and one PT session & social/exercise group
e. Saturday & Sunday: No sessions
f. Monday: One PT session
g. Tuesday: One session before releasing him
If the staff believes that the above scheduling is advantageous, perhaps they might consider having outside professionals experienced in physical therapy advise their staff members.
Please realize that if the staff is questioned, they are going to be on the defensive and perhaps bend the 'real truth' Although I have a doctorate, two counseling degrees, and a degree in psychology, it doesn't take ANY degree to figure out that defensiveness, being deceptive, and perhaps changing records is only human nature, when their jobs are on the line. I've even suggested that they consider having someone who is not recognized by the staff do an incognito investigation as to what is really going on here.... with no success.
In summary, because my husband was not allowed to leave his bed (loud alarm would go off due to his high risk of falling), he was worse when I took him home than he was when he came in. Therefore, it appears to me that Ms. Harding, Director of Quality Management and Ms. Walker, Chief Executive Officer did not take my concerns seriously but only did CYA form of gestures that were required to keep 'their' jobs.
