My father was temporarily placed in this institution for twenty-one days back in May 2016. If I had custody over him at the time of his placement, I would have never, ever placed him in this miserable setting. For anyone who has a discerning spirit, this place is extremely dark. The entire wing my father was assigned to stank horribly like urine. The first day he was there, his roommate, also a new patient, was clearly unstable and incoherent and walking around with a cane. He was unsupervised and fell straight backward onto my father who was bedridden. Thankfully my father was not hurt, and good thing this poor man fell onto my father and his bed instead of going straight backward onto the concrete floor. As far as the staff go, there were some older nurses and aides who conveyed a care for my father or the elderly in general. However, I feel sad that they are stuck working among many younger aides who were smart-mouthed, unprofessional in speech, and had a demeanor sopped with apathy. I was told, "We're not gonna just jump when you need something" and "We're not gonna take an hour to feed your father." The facility's doctor had my dad doped up on medical marijuana "to stimulate his appetite.". However, staff were not taking the time to feed him all of his meals, many times leaving 75% of his food unfinished. He was emaciated, not to mention that the donabinol pills (marihuana) diminished what little cognition he had left. Thank God I was able to get custody of my father through the courts within a reasonable time period and get him out of there.
