Lake Harris Health Center Skilled Nursing

Clarence

My mother is doing rehab in Lake Harris Health Center Skilled Nursing. The first week she was fighting them and not doing the therapy, but now she's calmed down and is doing the therapies. She liked the nurses and aides, so it's all going well now. The staff is friendly and helpful, she likes them all. There's only one she doesn't like saying she's mean to her, this staff probably makes her get up and do things that's why. I can't get in to see the room but my wife says it's a very nice room they put her in. Earlier she was in isolation but now her room is like a home setting. I was able to visit before they shut it down. They bring her on a screen-enclosed porch and I sit outside the porch and we talk from like 8 feet away. She says the food is pretty good. There are a couple of meals she doesn't like, but for the most part she says it's good. They seem to be very good. Now that they're moving along with her therapy, they call me once a week, and we have like a conference call where they have the therapist, nurse, and case worker come into the conference room. They've done that for several weeks. That's very helpful in getting information and knowing what she's doing and not doing. They also seem to be cooperative, they're nice, and easy to deal with, so I think it's great. The place looks very nice, everything looks clean and elderly, and they just repainted the drive.

I am a family friend of a resident. To my knowledge, she isn't involved or encouraged to participate in any daily socialization. She is mostly in her bed 24/7. In nearly 9 months' time, they have yet to get her to an appointment on time. She has soiled herself on nearly every one of those visits as she states they don't give her adequate time to go to the bathroom before getting her dressed for appointments. At certain visits, her doctor has asked why they haven't changed her meds as he had previously requested on her last visit. The paperwork sent back and forth between the home and the physician's office obviously isn't read as changes and appointments are not noted. I'm afraid we will lose her before we are able to locate another facility.

My mother is in rehab at Lake Harris Health Center. She gets wonderful care there. Her room is kept clean. She's made improvements, so we see the results of her therapy. She's doing well there. The food is pretty typical of these places. There's nothing to rave about, but it's edible. She has her own television.
