Transitions Health Care Gettysburg

Heather

My sister was at Transitions Healthcare Gettysburg. She passed away, but she had to be on short-term care and live in a nursing home a little bit. She had lung and bone cancer. She was there for physical therapy, but she couldn't do it because she was in so much pain. I think they did what they could, but I know my sister was hard to deal with. They called me often because she was not wanting to do what she was supposed to do. She didn't want to do the physical therapy, so I know it wasn't easy on them either. The whole experience was not good because I came into it late in the game and my mom was dealing with it. It was not a good thing in the end. My mom holds a grudge against Transitions because she didn't think they did enough. However, they weren't there to take care of her cancer. They were there to take care of her broken femur. It was not a good experience overall. I don't think it was because of Transitions, I think it was because of the situation that my sister was in, and I was brought into it so late in the game when she was already there past her time. They only gave her so much time to start walking and she didn't even want to try, and she gave them a hard time. They would call me because she was giving them a hard time. It was not a good process, but I don't hold it against Transitions, but my parents both do. My mom thought they should've forced my sister to do stuff, but they couldn't, according to what I was told. Everything was clean, and they tried to do what they could and the connection was there, but I was brought in at the end, so it was already a mess. The staff was very accommodating. I know my sister didn't want to eat anything either, so they had issues with her eating, but they allowed her to bring in stuff from outside until the COVID took over, and then they said no more stuff from outside because of COVID. I didn't see anything that was disturbing to me. I thought it was a good facility.
