  As much as it hurts me to write this because there truly are so many kind people who work there, this place really dropped the ball on my dad. He was in there for 9 days. In that time, they neglected his catheter to the point he had blood in his bag and it was dismissed. My mom insisted he needed a hospital, which they brushed off. After trying to get him the help he needed while he was in there, my mom decided to just take him to the hospital herself. The hospital said he has a yeast infection, UTI, and a bladder infection. His poor skin is covered in blisters and SO painful for him. My dad is in his 50s, and he has family who are very involved and always go to bat for him. I’m worried about the many older people who stay there full time. If my dad, who is competent and can verbalize how he’s suffering, had to endure this treatment. It makes me incredibly concerned for those who can’t. For those who DONT have family who can speak up and take matters into their own hands like my mom did. The hospital said it could’ve been avoided if they had even cleaned him properly or changed his catheter like they should’ve. My heart breaks for all those people in their 70s-80s who live there full time with no one visiting them or checking on them. The nurses at the emergency room said they would never send their loved ones here, and I have to say I agree. No one deserves to suffer like this or have to experience pain that could’ve easily been avoided. I would not suggest this place for your loved ones, at least until they can properly care for the sick/elderly. Again, there are people there who are so sweet. Unfortunately it seems they need to have a refresher on how to care for those in need.

  My aunt Betty was in this place for 4 years. The last two have been nothing but problems. The last two weeks she has been vomiting and not able to hold anything down. I get a call on 1/29 that she needs to be put on hospice. Today my aunt is screaming and crying in pain calling me wanting to go to the hospital. Said her chest was hurting and felt like a heart attack. They refused. On my way up there, I talk to Robin the assistant director and I tell her and the PA and the DON that she needs to go but instead of supporting this to give my aunt the best care, I get met with Robin telling me "shes going to die regardless of what you do and her chest hurting is just anxiety." NO family should ever be told this even if that was the case. Robin would rather shove hospice down the patients throats instead of getting them the proper care to get better. This entire phone conversation was on speaker with multiple witnesses to back up what she said. We had to fight them to get an ambulance called. My aunt gets to the hospital where she was severely dehydrated, had a severe UTI, she was septic - they said she had a bad blood infection, her liver enzymes were high and her blood pressure was severely low and was consistently staying that way. She is now in ICU where we were told her gallbladder needs removed and her bile duct was so blocked that the galsstones had to have been there for a long time. Word for word what the doctor told us.. mind you she has been in katherines care the last 4 years. They said this was causing the vomiting and her pain. The good thing is we have all this on file now for proof of neglegence. My uncle George passed away in this place. He started out with a bad infection in his foot that was not properly taken care of to the point he had to have his leg amputated and his health declined ever since.. and of course their first thing was to put him on hospice but of course Robin will try to cover her own. My aunt will not be going back to this God awful pl
