South Suburban Rehab Center

South Suburban was not very clean, and my dad said they don’t take care of them. My dad was in urine in a diaper on the floor for I think 4 hours; he fell, and they didn’t pick him up. The residents lack patience and fight with each other, they just let them fight at it. My dad has been punched in the face. He was malnourished and dehydrated. It was just terrible.

It was much better than I last remember. It used to be horrible. It smelled really bad now it's so clean and the staff is friendly. They take good care of the old people there. They look like they enjoy living there. I visited with my friend and she was going to see her mom.

Stay far away from this facility. Not only is it filthy but the staff is incompetent and the director is clueless. My mother's meds were discontinued before her discharge. These were psych and pain meds. Why this was done I still don't know why. It caused her to go into a relapse when she was moved to a new facility. She said it was the worst experience of her life.

My actual rating is zero stars. I am a friend of a resident here. He had his hip removed and needs to get rid of a MRSA infection he contracted at another hospital. Since he has been here he has only had one decent meal. I have had to come in and empty his urinals. I have to bathe him because nobody assists him. Today they came in his room and told him that they were going to put him out because he refused medication. In actuality, one of the nurses brought the medicine and hung it. Through her incompetence she punctured the bag. Instead of admitting to that she went back and told them that he refused the medication. That was not his fault and she didn't bring him another bag. The dosage is administered every 12 hours and should not be administered any sooner than 11 hours. He received the dosage at 4pm and they came back to give it to him again at 6pm. He explained that he had just had a dose at 4pm and the side effects are such that his liver could be damaged. The nurse became indignant and left and told the administration that he refused his medication. This is not true. He was correct in not accepting the dosage. My friend is being put out of the facility because he would not sit still and let the staff mistreat him and further endanger his life. He has no hip, he cannot walk and cannot support his own weight yet they feel justified in putting him out. The facility is not up to standards so he is not disgruntled. He really never wanted to be here but was resigned to it because he needed a place to be in the interim before he is readmitted into the hospital to receive a new hip. He is upset however; because they are banding together and lying on him to disguise their laziness and incompetence as well as their unwillingness to do their jobs.
