My mother’s stay at SJP after the hospital/surgery, was a setback. They let her fall in the shower before she came home. I wanted to help her myself, but they said no to that. The CNA was distracted and left the room. The fall resulted in a higher degree of pain and disability, than if she’d come straight home after the hospital. They were also misleading about the severity of the fall. Her primary care provider agreed to see her yesterday, two days after the fall. The bruise on her back is enormous, and PA saw fit to take a series of 10 x-rays. It is impossible for her to work toward getting back to normal in her current condition. But they released her telling Medicare she was doing great. So now I can’t leave her alone. It was in many ways apparent that there is a focus on appearance over substance, right down to the calendar of imaginary events and activities displayed prominently about, including in the elevator. Please also note how many of the reviews here have been written by employees or their family members. I think that’s misleading, and quite possibly encouraged by the SJP administration
