  We are absolutely appalled and outraged by the treatment my uncle has experienced at Pruitt Health Blythewood. What our family has witnessed and what has happened to him is unacceptable, and I believe these incidents deserve serious investigation. My uncle is temporarily paralyzed following a surgery from the chest down which requires therapy to regain movement. He depends on staff for basic daily care, including assistance with turning and cleaning himself after bowel movements. When the nurse came in to assist with changing she was extremely rude and irritated stating it was time for her shift to be over. She was very aggressive with him and rolled him out of his bed onto the floor! How can someone who is completely dependent on others for physical assistance be treated this way? As if that were not enough, there was a night when he was not brought dinner. The following morning, he was brought breakfast without any eating utensils. These are not minor inconveniences. These are basic needs that every person in a care facility should be able to depend on staff to meet. My uncle is mentally alert, can communicate, and is able to speak up for himself. But I cannot stop thinking about the residents who cannot communicate what is happening to them, who cannot defend themselves, and who may be suffering in silence. Who is looking out for them? Who is making sure they are safe? Our family is in the process of speaking with an attorney because we believe these incidents must be taken seriously. But this cannot stop with just our family. This place needs to be held accountable and make changes!! I believe these concerns should be brought to the attention of the appropriate authorities and, if necessary, the local news so that others can learn about what we have experienced. No family should have to worry whether their loved one is being left on the floor, denied assistance with basic hygiene, or going without meals and the supplies needed to eat. When families entrust

  My mother was at Pruitt Blythewood for a few years and during that time I came in contact with both negative and positive employees. There’s two employees that stood out to me, the Activity Therapist Evette and the cosmetologist that did mothers hair. The Activity Therapist has always displayed compassion, and empathy with all of the residents. I sat in a few sessions while visiting mother and Ms. Evette could definitely get the residents attention to engage and participate with the various activities. Also the Cosmetologist that would do my mother’s hair was compassionate and caring. She knew that making mom felt happy about getting her hair done. Thank you so kindly, Sharon C. Small
