If I could do no stars I would, my grandfather was moved out of his perfectly fine, cool, room and…read morenot a single family member was notified.
Not only did they break some of his items, they put him in a room with a man that the nurses were already aware had a problem with Turing the ac to heat and my papa sat in a 90 degree room (on a 103 degree day)
Im not even sure when they actually moved him, his own nurses didn't even know what room he was in to tell me when I got there. I asked why he was moved and still, clueless..
I got into the room finally and my papa was basically unconscious, skin was soaking wet, I ran and got a nurse for them to only come in to turn the ac down and leave, not even check on my papa that I was showing concern for.
Finally after 4 days of no changes, my mother basically had to break down in tears and beg them to move my papa to a cooler room, they had him moved in minutes. Just For him to be rushed to the hospital 2 days later for an exploded gi tube, and terrible infections that we didn't know about.
my grandpa is bed bound and has early dementia, he isn't able to eat or drink, and his mouth was so cracked and bleeding and infected when he got to the hospital this time that the nurses where even upset.
The hospital explained we should have had supplies to have been keeping his mouth wet atleast so his tongue and mouth would heal, but we never ever got any info on how we could help, ever. Only by the hospital, Didn't know we could do anything at all since he was not able to have anything by mouth period.
His skin was so bruised it was actually tearing just by small moments and bleeding, they just said it was from the iv and his skin is damaged...
So they just left his arm open wound, bleeding, and I have to call nurses back to come bandage it.
As I thought that's what they were already going to do.
There's been a lot a handful of times iv walked in to see my grandfather and he was hanging half way off the bed, saying he'd been yelling for help and no one obviously came because my grandpa is also paralyzed on half of his body and hasn't been out of bed in over 2 years, for him to have been able to lift his legs with big compression shoes on had to have taken him a while.
Where was everyone?!
My grandpa has gone to the hospital probably 10 times in this last year, and every time he goes to the hospital, he gets better.
He goes back to this place and he's being rushed right back, and iv never seen people just not care so much. It's completely disheartening and my papas life is important, plz know this is someone's son, this person has people that love him and that he loves, he's not just another person laying up in the home. I think that should go for every patient there period.
Also my papa had a seizure? We have no idea where or why or how, the hospital is even confused but his tongue seemed to have been bitten soooo I'm not sure but plz treat elderly with respect.
They are souls, people, like I said- someone loves them.
