Kristi Johnson

DO NOT place your loved one at this facility. I was working with a travel agency and picked up a shift here. The staff told me which patients i had and we did a run through of patients. The person I was relieving told me one of the patients was in the hospital. The staff would not let me into the locked unit until 5 am after begging for them to give me the code to the unit where my patients were. At 5am i had an hour to get my patients cleaned and ready for breakfast. After I was finally let in I started cleaning everyone up. Of course they were soaked and soiled. I had to have staff help me with one pats to get all his sheets (that were soiled) from under him. She proceeds to tell me not to shake the sheets, because they have bed bugs. Continuing down the line of cleaning up my patients, I opened the door to one room, and there was a patient on the floor plus the patient that actually belonged in that room.. remember the lady in the hospital? Yeah that was her. So who knows how long she had been there because no one would let me in to check my patients!!!!!! DO NOT put your loved one at in this facility!!!!
