This place is no longer called Allegiant, they just changed their name to Hevens, please do not…read moretake your loved ones to this place! My husband was discharged here because of the medication he was on and the type of care he still needed, the moment I got to this place and I saw his room I knew this place was not going to take care of him, he had been suffering from the worst case of SE that Banner University had ever seen, the 1st 24 hours they didn't give him any of this seizure medication because Banner didn't send him with any. I couldn't believe what I hearing, he had just survived from Status Epilepticus and they had not given him ANY seizure medication because of Banner?? They were sitting there waiting....they were lucky my husband didn't go back into status because of that. Then after a week a gets a UTI, and then he gets C-diff, then after another week he falls and they find him face down on the floor, my husband is 40yrs old and could barely get himself to sit up let alone fall off the bed, no one could tell me how, when, only that he fell. Another week goes by he gets another UTI, I kept telling the nurses and the people there that his urine looked so dark and bloody and all I would hear is that its normal after changing his foley. Then a few days later he falls again, this time on a mat they left on the side of his bed. He then is sent to Banner University where they admitted him back because of another UTI but this time he ended up getting sepsis. My husband did not deserve this treatment, I called the nurse that day on Aug 11th to see when they changed his catheter/foley, the nurse looks it up and tells me that they have no notes as to this ever being done!! Now my husband is fighting another bout of C-Dif because of the antibiotics he had to be on for the sepsis he had gotten from this damn place. Now he cannot be discharged after going through so much already, this is the type of care this place offered my husband. I'm so angry, the state covered my husband but failed to place him a facility that would actually be able to take care of him, they couldn't even take care of the RNS devices that they were instructed to interrogate daily, I had several nurses tell me that seizures were out of their area of expertise!!! WHY WAS MY HUSBAND SENT TO THIS DAMN PLACE! Please do not send your loved ones here, not to mention when he was being cleaned they would leave his ointment that they used when cleaning his bottom next to his trachea cleaning area, the risk if cross contamination was everywhere, these little cups of used ointment just left by the window and all around his room, this is the stuff they spread all over his rash area when they would change him! Disgusting and so terrible!
I hate to say such awful things about a place like this because this doesn't reflect the few people that we friended and found peace knowing that they were around taking care of my husband when the majority were not, this place has some golden gems that make the daunting experience less daunting, you few are too good for a place like this, I appreciated those who I knew actually loved their job and wanted my husband to get better (RT) you guys know who you are, I thank you for your kindness through all of this.
But please do your research, do not send your loved ones to this place....Now my husband is fighting these infections again because of the lack of care these nurses gave him. I'm so pissed and I hope no one ever has to deal with this when it comes to their loved ones. This is just awful
