1 /5 Angela Evans: One start because no stars isn’t an option. My dad was in the hospital for a month. I feel it was because nobody seemed to know what was going on. He was forgotten about, was dirty - had feces on him & on his bed tray, his sheets. There’s a sign that said every day every patient gets a bath (or some such thing). Not once. Had a urinal on his breakfast table. He had to have a sitter because he fell. He had an arteriogram - the doctor did not come out to tell me what he found or what was done. One person said he had a stent, another said he just had a clean out. He fell because a brace was left on his leg for 4 days - it was supposed to be on for 6 hours. He fell because he didn’t know the brace was on. His legs were wrapped & were supposed to be changed daily, they were on for several days. Wound care was not done in a timely manner. I had to mark his wraps every time I was there to be sure they were changed, His sitter told me that there was 1 day that NOBODY came in during her 12 shift, no nurse came to check on him. We waited at least a week to have him released to a rehab facility, because PT notes were not sent. The clock that was supposed to be on the wall was in a drawer with no batteries. There were some helpful nurses that helped me get some answers. I would NOT recommend this hospital or at least Heart Tower 5.
