WARNING: DO NOT BOOK THIS RECOVERY HOUSE - IT IS DANGEROUS…read more
What I went through here was nothing short of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Nicole should never be allowed near vulnerable patients, let alone running a so-called "recovery home."
This wasn't a safe environment. It was a scam that nearly cost me my health.
Day 1 - Lies and Neglect From the Start
Nicole arrived almost 2 hours late to collect me after major surgery. She lied repeatedly on the phone saying "I'm 15 minutes away" when she wasn't even close.
She flat-out refused to help me into the van, forcing surgery staff to do it. Her exact words: "I'm not lifting that." Imagine hearing that when you've just come out of anesthesia.
She gave me one Gatorade and crackers, promised more, and never followed through.
On arrival, instead of helping me, she handed me a bag to carry myself while I was barely able to walk.
She wasted over 30 minutes fussing with food while I begged for water and nutrition, and she dismissed me every time.
By midnight, when I asked again for food and water, she told me to "just go to sleep and eat in the morning." That's not care, that's cruelty.
The "room" was appalling: two single beds crammed into a shoebox space, clutter everywhere, no proper storage, and an environment completely unfit for recovery.
Day 2 - Medical Emergency Ignored
I woke up feeling faint and desperately called Nicole 4-5 times. Her response? "I told you we have quiet time between 6 and 8 so I can have me-time."
Who runs a "quiet time" for themselves in a recovery home where patients may need urgent help?
I tried to call 911 but collapsed before I could. I fainted completely alone.
Nicole didn't even check on me until 9 am. When I begged for help, she replied coldly: "Get up and come eat breakfast."
No medical attention, no compassion, no urgency. She left me in danger because her "me-time" was more important than my life.
Day 3 - Starvation and Verbal Abuse
Nicole continued to ration food and water like I was a burden. Meals were late, tiny, or completely withheld. This felt more like starvation and control than care.
She constantly complained about my suitcase and "heavy luggage" as if my belongings were the problem, not the fact that she wasn't doing her job.
Every request for help was met with attitude, sarcasm, or lectures. She treated me like an inconvenience rather than a human being recovering from surgery.
Instead of monitoring my health, she ignored me for long stretches, leaving me weak, hungry, and dehydrated.
Day 4 - Abuse Disguised as Care
By Day 4, the neglect was so consistent it felt intentional.
Her "quiet time" rule made me feel like a prisoner in her house. I was scared to ask for help because every interaction was hostile.
The so-called "care" was nothing but verbal abuse, emotional neglect, and total lack of professionalism.
I left this place physically weaker, emotionally drained, and traumatized. A recovery home is supposed to heal -- Nicole's house actively endangered my health and safety.
Final Warning:
Nicole is not a caretaker. She is a liar, a scammer, and completely unfit to run a recovery home. What she provides is not care -- it's abuse, starvation, and neglect.
She:
Lied and abandoned me.
Refused to physically assist a post-op patient.
Ignored medical emergencies for her "me-time."
Withheld food and water when I needed it most.
Provided a filthy, cramped, unsafe environment.
Treated me with hostility, cruelty, and zero compassion.
This was exploitation of someone at their most vulnerable. It was dangerous, traumatic, and could have ended far worse. If you value your health and dignity, stay far away from this woman and her fake "recovery home."
