Britthaven of Chapel Hill

I am a friend or relative of resident

This approx 130 bed facility is closing. The families were notified 3/28/12 of a June closing. The place was virtually empty as of 5/15/12. My Mother was here 5 yrs. We had some really terrible experiences here, including she became so septic with a UTI the staff missed , she wound up with septicemia, had a heart attack in the ambulance and almost died ( more from the septicemia than the STEMI).. I would have moved her then but I am not MPOA. 2010 they had a nurse drug Alzheimer's pt's with drugs they were not prescribed and at least one person died. The facility says its closing for "renovations", and will reopen at a later date. Sure hope not. Now we have lost 130 beds in this county and no one is taking up the need. Most patients went to other counties. Britthaven should be removed from your list.
