Andris Legg
Andy Legg was in this facility for over a week during which he never saw a doctor. The best thing I can say was it was clean but communication was sorely lacking. They failed to send his prescriptions to VA even though I wrote the phone number, his SS # and DOB. Despite several calls from the VA and myself they were not sent. After he was discharged on Wednesday he was supposed to have dialysis on Friday. No arrangements were made resulting in a long wait at OSU ER for a bed and dialysis. Many calls were ignored from not only me but also the VA. On Friday afternoon after the squad took him to ER the Director finally called and assured me if Andy returned he would get excellent treatment. I was not convinced. Rehab was short and only once a day. They have some positive amenities, courtyard, an activity room and a dining area where you could order a meal. Andy flatly refuses to return there.
