It probably is as good as it gets…read more I recently stayed 15 days after brain surgery to remove a tumor. The therapists were all excellent (save one who made me nervous and uncomfortable). When I couldn't see well enough to read, one of them just brought me a pair of reading glasses. That's what they are like, encouraging, competent, caring. The nurses, and other staff, were also excellent. I did not see very much of the doctor, but I'm not sure what the doctor does exactly, except perhaps oversight in ways the patients do not see. Most of these places have shared rooms. This is really the worst part in my opinion, because it's so loud, families and staff coming and going at all hours, and you're often being woken up. Having a TV on with patients that have brain injuries is a nightmare, it feels like it's drilling right into your skull. it's But as a shared room, I think a big effort was put in to make it as separate as possible, and it's large and pleasant. My roommate went code blue in the middle of the night, and I don't know what happened to her. I had two ER visits at UNM myself when I was there, they are near to each other and somehow related, they were suggested to me by UNM after I had my surgery there. I don't think this is par for the course though, we were in the brain injury unit. I would have stayed longer if I could, perhaps until I was off some of the more difficult prescriptions. Having three and a half hours of therapy, and structured care was a godsend after the surgery, when I couldn't think clearly. The billing department may need a little help. I just got a letter saying they disallowed the whole amount (59K, !!!!!) because the wrong billing code was used. So I have to work that out. I thought the food was okay. I have lower expectations, and maybe more appreciation, for Lovelace, since my mother stayed about a month at Kindred last year. My mother couldn't wait to leave Kindred, so that's about the measure of the difference.

Dr. Dickie is a pill pusher. My brother is there recovering from a TBI, after being there for 30…read moredays he has become depressed due to minimal socialization. The doctor was pushing anti-depressants when he knows our end goal is to have him off medication. My mom is the power of attorney and told the doctor absolutely not to the medication he was pushing on my brother. After my mom left, he went back into the room to convince my brother to get on a low dose. Disgusting!! All they want is money by putting you on medication that creates more side effects for more money. I will definitely be reporting this doctor and do not reccommend this place. After 30 days of being there my brother has had very little improvements.

I gave it all day monday...nothing. Now I am getting pissed. I call leave more messages, too busy. Finally, on a Friday when I was in town I stopped at the office. I wanted a word with the office manager to file a complaint about her staff. The receptionist asked my name left her desk and came back saying she stepped out and didn't know if she would be back. Of course she did.....really? The girl told me to email her! No way little girl. I asked to talk to the scheduler and if course she was busy. I am getting hotter by the minute, and felt like i wanted to grab someone by the throat. But instead I walked out. Monday one more try. Nothing. So maybe God was watching out for me. I had already had one knee replacement that turned out bad, by a different place on Colorado. At any rate I have gotten another Dr. But i am still months out for surgery. I am getting worse by the day, more painful, with bone on bone. Have to use a cane or walker to get around my own home. DO NOT GO THERE FOR ANY TYPE OF SURGERY. IF THE DOCTORS APPROVE OF THIS KIND OF SHODDY TREATMENT OF THEIR PATIENTS, DO YOU REALLY WANTING THEM TO OPERATE ON YOU? I THINK NOT. SO BE WEARY FOLKS!

I am 66 AND worked in…read morehealthcare admin last position as a division CFO for a company called Continental Rehab Systems which merged with Healthsouth. I am probably one of the most sympathetic people to the difficulties of the industry. After a broken femur in my hip I was transferred from Lovelace to Advanced. First note was started by Physical Therapists. And is a beautiful facility which is saying a lot because in my last job we opened 3 new facilities in different western states. So I have seen new facilities and have also seen SNF's aka skilled nursing facilities. There is a reason Ron Bell the "attorney" always talks about them The staff is really good specially the therapists, OT's and PT's. Kind knowledgeable and they listen. The nursing staff is mostly good and especially the day nurses. As with ANY hospital the doc may have one opinion, the nurses another, the therapists another and the PA's and NP's another. This is called healthcare and it is just getting worse with all the government issues. I pray they are not too adversely affected by the inevitable government cuts. Also you HAVE to advocate for yourself and your loved ones if it is them who are here. Believe it or not docs and clinical staff are human. And unless YOU (like me) are the patient you truly have no idea what the patient is feeling and going through. I have been very verbal about my concerns and there have been issues but the staff listened. Did they always agree, no. Were we able to come to mutually acceptable conclusions, pretty much every situation. If you sit back and bitch quietly it only affects your mental health. And note I have a mother in law who does this at the facility she is at in CA. If you don't like the current healthcare situation (don't even get me started on Optum) read, talk to your NM reps, read about what is going on with the government and best go into the industry. Albuquerque is woefully understaffed. At every facility. Compared to when I was in healthcare the demands and hours are much crazier. So unless you speak up don't complain. I am still at facility and am very happy to be here. Will update post discharge.

Beware. Avoid. Makes the CARE profession look really bad. My sister and I saw her because my sister needed a new endo. Our visit with Dr. Lisa Ereifej (NOT a board-certified endocrinologist, by the way) at Lovelace Asuna and Jefferson was a traumatic experience because she spoke down to us when we asked SIMPLE questions about my sister's care. Although she listened she didn't really hear us - she was only concerned about what she thought, and ignored our concerns and questions. We felt that she didn't have the "heart" to help people but did her work because of money. We sorta felt ripped-off because half way through our appointment she blurted out that she's going to refer us to someone else. We spent a specialist fee to get pushed to someone else. If you want a humane real person to treat you than run far far away from Dr. Lisa Ereifej. Docs like her make the care profession look really really bad. BTW, I never do this, but if you have a follow-up question about my visit with Dr. Lisa Ereifej please shoot me an email and I'll answer any question you have.
