Meadow Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Terrible Place

Deserves a 0. DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR LOVED ONE IN the Meadow Park Rehabilitation Center. Upon arrival I was put in a gown and they insisted I wear a diaper. I struggled terribly with them over wearing a diaper, but they absolutely insisted. I found out the reason for the diaper is that they will not take you to the bathroom. I asked for them to put ice on my knee. They said they DID NOT have ice bags. I was there for 4 days and received 15 minutes of physical therapy. No nurse or attendant came to check on me throughout the weekend. During the 4 days I was there, I asked to wash myself, but was only offered to wash myself one time, and only got a fresh gown once. On the 4th day, I had had enough and figured this was not on the up-and-up. The nurse, case worker and social worker came to say I could not leave without doctor approval, and I said “bet me”. My husband and I gathered my things and left the facility.

KEEP AFTER THE STAFF! Be sure to make regular visits so you know the patient is being treated with utmost care and courtesy by the staff. Especially if the patient can't advocate for themselves. Check for bedsores and look at their feet periodically. If you see anything that’s cause for concern, tell someone and follow up until you know it’s treated. My family and I did all of this, and I still feel like my fathers’ care was not handled as a priority. Communication and following through was a constant frustration with this place. If your loved one is at risk of falling out of bed, BE ADVISED! This place does NOT have bed-rails. Instead, they put the patient into a “scoop mattress” and lower the bed down and put floor mats down on either side. If the patient falls out of bed, they will lie there until a staff member finds them. My father had fallen or crawled out of bed a few times, and was injured once in the process. He had a huge scab on his knee that was left untreated and unbandage which eventually got raw and inflamed, causing him pain and discomfort. I’ve read several reviews of people falling out of bed in this place. You’d think by now they’d invest in a few beds with bed-rails. On 08/22/2022, my 67 y/o father was sent here after a moderate stroke that left him paralyzed on his entire left side of his body, unable to sit up or walk, feed himself, or do basic self-care without the help of staff. The stroke also left him with major cognitive impairment, which made him confused and agitated at times. His case required ‘round the clock care with PT, OT, and speech therapy 5 days a week, 75 minutes a day total. Immediately after arriving, his health started to decline rapidly, and by the end of his 13 week stay, he had lost appx 30+ lbs. He was alarmingly thin, especially for a patient who we’re told has been eating well and being fed by the assistance of nurse techs/staff. There have been several visits where my family or I would show up and he would be sitting in a soiled brief, and never any cups of water within reach for him to try and drink from. He was constantly dehydrated (as told to us by the doctors who seen him at 3 different hospitals after arriving to Meadow Park.) His call button was rarely within reach and always flung behind his bed, or hanging over his side table. He would not be able to call a nurse tech if he needed anything or there was an emergency. During our first care-plan meeting on 09/14/22, we requested my father be seen by their in house podiatrist as his feet were in so much pain, you couldn’t touch them to put socks on. We were told this would be done, however; it never happened. On our second care-plan meeting on 10/24, we brought up the podiatrist again, and the team mentioned they would make an appointment for him to be seen by the podiatrist and also by a psyche doctor to see if he was a candidate for anti-depressants. He was FINALLY seen by a podiatrist on 11/11. That’s TWO MONTHS after we originally requested this appointment be made. Unfortunately, he was never seen by a psyche doctor for anti-depressants which I think would have helped him a lot. By this time my dads feet had gotten so bad, that when he was sent to the ER on 11/27 for aspiration pneumonia and dehydration, the doctor told us he’d need to have his foot amputated as he had lost total circulation in his right foot. Mind you, the side that was NOT left paralyzed by the stroke. Sadly, he ended up going into hospice two days after admission and passing on 12/05, so the surgery never happened. If my father’s health hadn’t taken a dive due to other complications near the end, and had his foot been seen by a doctor the moment we requested it, his foot could have been saved. It saddens me that this is where my father spent the last 4 months of his life on this earth. It was heart breaking for us to see him deteriorate and wither away here, and I can’t fathom what my father went through during these long weeks.

Interaction with some of the staff was the worst I have ever seen. They took a very long time to answer when patient pushed button. When my hubby was told he was positive for Covid, but was asymptomatic, he was moved to the first floor. While there they never checked his blood pressure, even tho he is on Rx. Meds. they never did a finger stick for Diabetes, even tho he is Type 2 Diabetic. Physical therapist Kathy & Monica are great. Nurse/ Nurses Aid Latanya was the best

My mom is in this place

So my mom became a resident at this location early 2020. Due to Covid we have not been able to visit her. You would think that the staff would understand. These people do not care about your love ones. They don't return calls, they don't answer the phone. When you meet them in person it's a different story. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVE ONE TO THIS PLACE. It's TERRIBLE, STAFF NOT FRIENDLY, DIRTY PLACE. My mom is not doing well there at all. I'm waiting for that call , that's how bad it is. Unfortunately I can't care for her on my own. I just pray everyday, god help her !!
