DO NOT ALLOW ANY DOCTOR TO SEND YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS NEGLECTFUL FACILITY!!!
They specialize in wound care they claim.
After my father arrived with temporary wound packing for the hour trip to this place, the wound care team came in and said it was her weekend off and that she would do her assessment on Monday which caused fetal matter and bile to leak all over my Father's wound and all over him. She also refused to read any of his records from his original hospital.
Upon arrival to this facility, his wound was almost healed. Night shift neglected him by not changing his dressing when it leaked all over him. He asked several times to send him back to his original hospital and they denied his right to be moved.
Meanwhile, while I visited several times, nurses were very rude to other patients.
I even have a video of staff listening to music at the nurse's station and giggling as loud as they could while neglecting patients who had been calling them.
We move our father after only 9 days back to his original hospital.
He was so neglected, his original doctor is now having to perform another surgery...

I do want to hear any more any more excuses from Select. We met with the entire team and everyone there is incompetent. You promised he would be in good hands but you lied. My father was terrified thinking he would die in your care and he would have. It's bad enough that staff speaks horribly about each other.

Don't respond to this review...you will be hearing from our attorneys.

While I did not have to write this review, I felt I should tell my story to allow others, especially those with senior parents, to benefit from my experience. At the point my dad needed extended specialty care, investigated my possible solutions. Let me just say we received extraordinary care. My dad and I were there for 6 weeks. The team of care givers we had were caring and very competent. The biggest difference was they worked with me. They are not just a check the box organization. We were assigned a super doctor. Doctor Cato. He paid attention to every piece of info when making decisions. The nurses connect with people. Senior care is very difficult for the patients, the family, care givers and medical professionals. It is complex medical care and seniors need an advocate. . I am just an everyday non-medical individual trying to assess all of this and get my parents good care. It's overwhelming. The Select staff and hospital, made that possible for me. They are an extraordinary hospital with a great approach and great staff. They obviously have very good leadership. If you have to make a decision and Select is a possibility, I would highly recommend this hospital. Good care is very hard to find. You cannot be only a visitor. You must be a part of the team and Select seems to welcome this when others do not. If you plan to outsource the care of a loved one and become a visitor you will always find disappointment. Thank you Select!

The Select Specialty Hospital has lack of communication with the patients family. Every time I go to visit my loved one there's always a bad experience. Needless to say I got my loved one out of there!
