Sad Days, but Service with a Smile
reviewed on: 09/21/2013 by JaneMom didn't want change, but that's what she was forced to deal with. The doctors were talking hospice, but she insisted on rehab. Things went very well as long as she was actually able to participate in rehab, but when things did not go well for her medically, things came to a grinding halt and the nurses were left holding the bag. They realized we had problems, but their hands were tied until they had the doctor's input. I felt the on-staff doctor really dropped the ball and did not provide support or the counsel we needed as we transitioned to hospice. I'm sorry our crisis happened on a Friday afternoon, but that sort of thing can't be worked into a schedule of convenience. I particularly resent that I was summoned to the facility for a one o'clock meeting that did not happen until four, especially when my mother was suffering so much. The crisis had actually begun the night before. My mother had been fighting nausea for several days, but they called me in the middle of the night because she became so sick. I went to sit with her until she was prescribed a medication that eased her enough to sleep. I went home to get some sleep myself and while I was still having coffee, they called me and told me to come back, because the doctor wanted to see me around one. I returned immediately, but the doctor didn't come for several hours after the promised time. Thankfully, we had an exceptionally good relationship with my mother's personal physician and were able to fill the gap that way, but we were unwilling to dump my mother on the emergency room when there was nothing emergency services could offer her. It was apparent that the staff physician did not approve of our choice, so we were on our own. Several of her comments bordered on callousness and we didn't need that with the difficult decision we were faced with. Because it took her until five o'clock to give us her analysis, it was after five before I called hospice and my mother did not get any relief until almost nine pm. Had I not already done the paperwork "just in case", it might have been the next day. The next three days were very difficult. Hospice sent round the clock nurses and the floor nurses were very kind and helpful, but we stuck out like a sore thumb, because we weren't on the "right floor." The floor we were on was not staffed or equipped to deal with our situation and we were reminded almost hourly that we were on a "recovery floor, not a nursing floor." I felt like we were totally in the way, but since the social worker wasn't there on weekends, that's where we had to stay. Monday we were assigned a new room and were told we'd be moving Tuesday morning, but Tuesday's staff was completely out of the loop. Please understand that I was not eager to move my mother in her frail condition, but the 72 hour round the clock hospice care was over and I needed more help than I was getting on the recovery floor. I finally had to get downright mean to make the move happen, but at least when we got to the "right" floor, we started getting help that matched mother's condition. I'd like to emphasize that I am not complaining about the quality of nursing we received. The nurses and aides were stellar, but their hands were tied by management and the on-staff physician. Our discomfort and frustration falls completely in their lap. I'd like to say that ours was an exception to the rule, but I know of another similar situation that happened recently, so this is some systemic flaw. Once we made it to the "right" floor, things changed dramatically for the better. The last few days of my mother's life are marked by the excellent care and attention she received. And not just her, me too. The nurses on the floor took me under their wing and did everything they could to make a difficult time as easy and pampered for me as they could. The recovery floor did an excellent job offering a place to recover and my mother loved the food. The nursing floor did an excellent job of caring for my mother and myself. The three days in-between were an awful experience that I hope no one else has to suffer.
A place to also call home
reviewed on: 03/26/2018 by CpajMy dad just discharged from Walnut Place. I must say I am impressed with staff at Walnut Place. There are people constantly checking on my dad. He was in so much pain. Between the doctors, nurse practitioner, nursing and therapy staff, they got his pain under control. Cant thank Walnut Place enough.

I lived here 6 years
reviewed on: 10/13/2020 by MargaretI came here as a patient from hospital in the rehab, and it was very good. The nurses are good, the activities are fun. The grounds are beautiful and I enjoy going out to the atrium. I would recommend this to my friends.
