Gallaway Healthcare Center

My late husband was in this nursing home for approximately seven weeks. It was awful! The first week he was there he fell and broke his hip, and was in pain for 2 1/2 days before anything was done. I could write a book about how bad this nursing home is in every area--social services, laundry (lost clothes), inadequate nursing care, uncaring CNA's,etc. You could never get a call back from the doctor on staff there. My understanding is that they have had 14 administrators in the past eight years! The situation was so bad that they now have brought in an interim administrator to try to clean things up, but quite frankly, I am not optimistic that there will be any lasting changes. My husband developed pneumonia there on December 12, 2013, and died in Baptist ICU the next day. Of course, I do not blame them for the pneumonia, but I got to the nursing home about 6:30 the evening of the 12th, and found him in the worst shape I have ever seen him; he was having trouble breathing, and he had thrown up on himself, and no one was doing anything to ease his discomfort. That is what I blame them for. Do the research for yourself, but I would think long and hard before I would place a loved one in this horrific facility.
