I am the voice for my poor mother who was neglected and constant mistakes were made that led to her barbaric death, stay far away from away from this hospital and pls read.
Upon admission admitting Dr. labeled her a DNR B, which they can't produce any documentation and it also states "Does patient qualify for critical care" they put NO, HOW DO YOU DENY CRITICAL CARE TO SOMEONE IN A HOSPITAL? I slept 24/7 with her for 27 days being in the healthcare field I'm far from stupid and ask a million questions but all the answers were lies which still has be in disbelief. Please read the reviews if you appropriate humane care. What started out as a simple UTI for my 71-year-old young Mom that was cleared up within 3 days from a simple antibiotic, to her then being misdiagnosed time & time again and put on an NG Tube for no reason that led to her not eating for a month which led to malnutrition even though they had her on TPN. The list goes on and on but sadly they led to her demise but instead they tried to blame it on her pre-existing condition, which was well managed. Giving her medicine that we specifically told them we didn't want, because she looked drugged and was definitely having an allergic reaction, the Nurses didn't even listen to the Dr's orders. Took them over 17 days to figure out that her true diagnosis was constipation ONLY but by this time she was in critical condition which they didn't address or get her the appropriate care of specialists to help. Her X-rays showed worsening of congestion in her lungs, not even sharing this information because I would of called in a Pulmonologist for her, they just let it get worse, kidneys were failing never called a nephrologist. This all happened why because they put her on the lowest level of care, with residents in charge that treated her like a guinea pig. These incompetent so called Dr's let her albumin level, which is a huge prognostic indicator and at 1.5 treatment of live albumin should be given so blood vessels don't start leaking and nutrients are carried appropriately through the body, they waited to treat when it was 0.9 3 weeks later to start giving it to her, which led her blood vessels to leak fluid and her fill up with fluid so bad she couldn't even lift her arms, I was told it was from being in bed but in the truth it was from lack of care and inexperience. When I asked why was she so swollen and begged please have a higher level of care, I was told that she didn't qualify and that she was going to rehab that weekend and soon as she gets out of bed she would be fine the fluid would come off, they even dragged her out of bed in this condition, the videos and pictures I have are disturbing what my poor mother went through and she fought so hard to live.
Also, they destroyed and conveniently disposed of important documents on the night she couldn't breathe, two days before she died I asked & begged for a Doctor at 10:30 pm and was told by Eva her Nurse there was none, this Nurse didn't even come in all night to check her, why her daughter was there. I fought her down and said this is a hospital how can there not be, she just shrugged her shoulders, even after I told her my concerns that her breathing was bad, she also didn't even come in to check my mom after I notified her. No specialists EVER CALLED IN only the Cardiologist that was since I called him, they let residents take care of her like she was a guinea pig not listening to me when I knew my mother best I slept there 24/7 and all they did was lie to me and not communicate. They did a chest x-ray when her lungs were filled with fluid since she was deteriorating which they never told me, they never ever called in a pulmonologist. Had her on an NG tube for 23 days with no food except TPN she was starving, dragging her out of bed when in reality she was dying. The horror I witnessed was barbaric. I begged for care and was told she didn't qualify, I regret getting her out of there but I was never told she could die instead I was told she was going into rehab and would be fine. They only told me what they wanted to tell me and lied to cover up the constant errors that I found when I received her medical records, I was hoping I was wrong but it was worse than you can imagine they have taken down all their Facebook reviews, and anywhere on Facebook you may be able to get a review in on them. Even google they have control over it, I tried to post but it was taken down. PLEASE read every review you can and make the right decision and find a hospital that will care for your loved ones with competency who are highly educated. Even the Nurses should know better but they are short-staffed the only ones that truly care are the aids thank god for them. Kahn 4 is the most incompetent care you could ever receive I wouldn't trust this hospital as they are fueled by money not the welfare of their patients which is beyond comprehension, you go to a hospital to get better not die.
