I'm not really sure where to start, I guess I'll start at the entrance of the hallway that leads to the rooms. Once you walk in there's a distinct smell of something I can't even explain at first than it came to me... dirty carpet, the halls are all carpet and they can't be clean ! Picture a hospital with carpet in the hallways and rooms, there's no such thing! , extremely unsanitary.
Our dad ( 80 years old )was released from Beth Israel hospital after an emergency quadruple bypass but still had the trachea and needed a breathing treatment machine. He needed heavy rehabilitation and this place was not it! One day he went in to distress and it took 15 min to find anyone at all . The place at night was vacant most of the times except for some patients wandering the halls. ( grossly understaffed). After a week we had to beg them to clean the room and when someone finally came in , she had a fucking attitude like I asked her for a kidney. It was clear that one of us had to stay overnight, we took shifts to make sure he had a 24/7 watch over him . One day he went was having trouble breathing so again we look for a nurse, no nurse to be found! Finally we found one who was outside smoking a cigarette and told her we need help, she proceeds to smoke that cigarette.....
She comes in and puts oxygen over his face but a minor detail was overlooked, he was breathing via a trachea, they might as well have put the oxygen up his ass ! WE called 911 and had an ambulance remove him and bring him to brick hospital ( excellent hospital by the way ) and he had some respitory infection from the dirty shit they put in his dirty breathing tube. We watched them drop the tube on the floor and than proceed to connect with out cleaning , this was an ongoing issue. When we bring this unsanitary method up to the and they looked at us like it's not our business and disregard anything we thought was not good.
After getting him out of that shit hole and got him straightened out at Brick Hospital we transferred him to Tall Woods in Bayville NJ. This place was a dream come true. Every single person on the staff was beyond excellent, there's not enough words to explain. This place was spotless and hospital grade clean. If we didn't get him out of laurelton village he would be dead, it's that simple. It was 8 days of horror. Tall Woods was a pleasure. We knew after 2 days that we can leave at 6 pm and know he's in fantastic hands . Our dad is home and better than he's been in 15 years and packing his stuff for his Florida trip... and I thank a doctor at community hospital who virtually begged our mom to let him take him to the Cath lab for a scope because he didn't like a blood reading. He immediately sent him to Beth Israel because he was clogged everywhere. We thank Beth Israel and from what we hear , the best cardiology ward on the east coast. We thank Brick hospital for fixing the mess that Laurelton village and the uneducated uncaring dirty facility and staff created.
Avoid this place by all means !!!
,do your homework because this may be the worst place but there's 30 others in ocean county that's not as bad
but bad enough to try and avoid read more
