Brickyard Health Care

My husband was in rehab at Golden LivingCenter - Valparaiso. They were wonderful. We thought my husband was going to pass away when he went there. They got him into rehab, and they got him walking again. He does have the onset of dementia, but that's improving a bit. The place is just immaculate. The service and the care they took of my husband, they just did a wonderful job with him. It's expensive. Anytime I called, they always took the time to talk to me because we live in Michigan City, and it was hard for us to get over there to see my husband. He got acquainted with the staff. They were very friendly and attentive. He was always neat and clean when we went to see him. They were excellent as far as the care that they gave him. He said the food was good. He was always happy with what they served. A lot was like the taste of home cooking, nothing out of a box. He was more or less in a locked community because of his Alzheimer's, so he didn't do many activities. They had a few things, like in the afternoon they would have popcorn and a movie, or they would do maybe some bingo or some arts and crafts. They did have activities.

I visited this facility about a month ago. I was there providing volunteer service for my church. I was pleased with the facility until I reached a residents room. The room was very dirty and had a foul order. I snooped around a bit until I found an old soiled brief that was saturated in feces and urine. I was very disappointed and immediately reported it to the nurse in charge. She completely ignored me and walked away. I later filed a complaint to the state of Indiana.
