Welcome to Wayne Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Jeremiah

My friend is at Wayne Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. They deemed last Friday that he cannot continue on with therapy anymore. He has reached his plateau, but the most important part is his blood pressure drops when they're doing therapy in the mornings, and they're afraid that would cause more of a problem than what it would be worth. So, they had to discontinue the therapy he was receiving, and that stops his Medicare, too, because he's not been able to receive the therapy anymore. They've always been helpful, and they keep me pretty much informed of his condition. If I have questions, they usually answer in a timely manner. I know that he was a little aggravated with them because he still had at least three more weeks left of what his Medicare would have paid for. They had stopped it about three weeks early, and that caused him to have to pay $400 a day out of pocket, and he got upset at that. They're professionals, and I assume that they did it based on professional reasoning (and they did, the way that I've had it explained to me). We were just hoping we would be able to get that other three weeks in and then get approved for Medicaid in April. It's nothing that can be helped, but overall I'm happy with that they've done. They've treated him very well. I have not seen any of the rooms because of COVID. They've only started visitations back up in the last three weeks, and I was able to get in and see him for a thirty-minute visit. It went by very quickly, but I understand under the circumstances they have to accommodate everybody. I can't say too much about the facility itself, but what I've seen I thought was great. They have an activity room, but I don't know what was offered in there. They've always been kind to me, and they keep me informed. Just last night at nine o'clock, they called to notify me of a condition that continues to plague him. They were just providing me with the information and wanting to make sure that I agreed with what the doctor was wanting to do, just as the other times before that they did that. I'm limited to the number of employees that I've been able to talk to. I have talked to a lot of them, but not all of them.
