Legend Oaks Healthcare And Rehabilitation Waxahac

My brother is at Legend Oaks Healthcare and Rehabilitation. The layout is good but I think it was a little bit better when it was brand-new. It's a nice facility, and the rooms are nice and a pretty good size. Each person gets a television that they can watch, the facility furnishes them with a TV. If you're a Medicaid patient, you have to share a room with someone else, but they try to put you in with someone that would be pretty much compatible with you. The room is big enough for two people and they have a curtain that can be drawn if you want privacy. They have their own little door too. Those rooms don't have refrigerators in them but private rooms have little refrigerators in them. Some of the staff, I think, are there just because of the money. I don't think that they're there for the people. Some of them are there for the people, but some of them aren't. The nurse that takes care of my brother is extremely good. The nurses there are good. They have bingo, crafting, singing, and sometimes they'll have a parade. My uncle who's also there very much enjoys all that. They have a wonderful physical therapy facility and wonderful physical therapy. They have a great big dining area and the food is pretty good.

Don't be deceived by the newness of Legend Oaks Rehab. My 91 year old uncle was there for 3 weeks and we found most of the nursing staff to be apathetic, unresponsive and not proactive. Apparently it's ok to allow the patient call buttons to ring for 20-30 mins during peak times. When you're visiting, you'll continually hear the alarms for the call buttons. When he was short of breath, instead of doctors figuring out the root cause, they put oxygen on him. At the hospital, we found out he has blood clots in his lungs from inactivity. He was in excruciating, burning pain from urine that had backed up (due to an enlarged prostate). They gave him meds after finally getting his urinalysis results back. This was the one time that he received alot of attention because he was yelling out in pain for a few hours. He was transferred to the ER and we moved his stuff out. No other family members will ever be going here again!!
