Life Care Center of Littleton

When my husband first arrived from the hospital for a rehab stay, he was left alone in a chair in the corner of a room with no call button, no wheelchair or walker. No one greeted or welcomed him. In fact, they didn’t even know he was there. When I complained to some workers they said I yelled at them with profanities, which is simply not true. I was then insulted and lectured by the Unit Manager Savannah who believed them, and admitted she had no idea he was there. She offered no apology or welcome. The home had no walker or wheelchair for him. I had to drive home to get his wheelchair. Throughout the week, access out of room or to the bathroom was blocked by various equipment, leaving my husband with no independent freedom to go anywhere. Numerous occasions when the call button was pressed, no one came for up to a half hour, and where the call button was pressed again, other long waits. Other visitors also noticed this. On one night, his catheter leaked in bed because the aid didn't close it. That aid just brought a towel, and did not clean the sheets that night or the next day. Once I visited mid day and my husband was dressed in only a diaper and no clothes. He does not require a diaper. He requires access to the bathroom. If the plan was for him to defecate in the diaper, fecal matter would likely have infected the Foley catheter tube going into his right kidney, creating a bacterial pathway up the Foley tube. Despite questions, there was disagreement, confusion and no believable explanation about antibiotic infusion duration. The machine beeped for two nights keeping him awake. One night an aide had wrapped the nephrostomy catheter tube around my husband's leg nearly pulling it out leaving him sitting on the tube painfully pulling on it. There was no dressing on the neph tube opening, which is prone to infection without a sterile bandage. I had to bring in my own first aid supplies to dress it. These are not just indignities. These issues create health ri

My mother has been a resident at Life Care of Littleton for over a year now. The staff a very caring, considerate and tend well to her needs. She has had a hard time adjusting to being there but the staff are highly aware and sensitive to this and have helped her with the adjustment. I would highly recommend Life care of littleton to anyone looking for a kind and caring place for a loved one.

I thought the therapies such as physical therapy Were excellent, but not enough of the therapies. Only having a few minutes of physical therapy a day does not help people to grow stronger and work towards getting out of there and being independent. The food is the weakest link. The cafeteria is ridiculous. They give you a menu you fill out what you want and fill the order slip in and when guests come, they can purchase a meal as well with their ticket. We sat in the cafeteria for a long, long, long, long time before anybody took our order slips. Another time, Dad had put his order in the previous day and then when he went down to get his meal, they completely forgot him. He just sat there for over an hour. I don’t remember the exact amount of time, but he never did get his food and then they got whatever they could find cause they had thrown out his order by that point and had shut the kitchen down for the night, and it just should not be. The cafeteria is an absolute mess. And I saw People leave after eating their meal and an hour later the tables still were not cleared. Due to a lack of proper safety precautions, Dad fell. They knew he was coming in from the hospital with fall precautions and never followed up to see if he was able to get himself to the bathroom independently and he fell. This should be a never event. It never should’ve happened. Dad was supposed to be on 4 L of oxygen and they didn’t even put his nasal cannula on him.
