Hempfield Manor

We were required to put my grandmother in the Hempfield Manor because her care became too difficult for our own family to undertake. Initially we were quite pleased when we met with the individuals who run the facility. The Hempfield Manor is quite clean and the staff are all friendly and very accommodating. My grandmother seems to be quite pleased with her stay at this facility and I would recommend it to others who are in similar situations. It costs somewhere around $2,000 a month for my grandmother to live in her assisted living facility at the Hempfield Manor which is quite reasonable and on par with other facilities in the region. We looked at other assisted living facilities in the region but this one proved to be the most bang for the buck so to speak. Nobody wants to put a loved one in a facility and take them out of their own home and their own care, but it really was the best solution to giving my grandmother the best care possible. I still get to visit her quite often and I feel comfortable knowing that she is getting such great care.

In regards to my grandmother especially, I feel the doctor there caused her to have medical complications that aided in her death. One day she was going to a local hospital for a CT scan of her back and they gave her morphine. A few days later my grandmother had a massive heart attack and slipped into a coma. Two days later she was taken off life support. I know she wasn't in the best of health, but giving an elderly lady in my grandmother's condition morphine was not acceptable.
