Horrible place

DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. My wife's grandma was transferred into their care from Miami Valley for rehabilitation for having a broken foot. For context she is also a diabetic. During her stay at Miami Valley, she was conscious, coherent, and was aware of her surroundings. After transferring, my wife visited her in Widows Home and she was unconscious for all 3 days that she was there. Her MyChart listed she was given Robaxin (she wasn't supposed to have that), but there was no other documentation anywhere else to show what was given to her to put her in this state. Nothing on the board in her room and the nurses claimed that there wasn't any tracking information within their system to track what medication patients were given and by who. They had claimed that she was the one who requested it. For someone who is in a comatose like state to request medication? Yea... right. Between my wife, her mother, and her aunt taking shifts to sit with her as much as they can. Clearly the nurses were doing some shady things when her family weren't around. Yesterday, around 5pm my wife forced her grandma to wake up and ask her questions and she thought she was her brother's house (he had been homeless for a good part of a decade). She was so out of it that she couldn't tell you what today was, or remember that she was in Widows Home. Which she was awake and coherent before settling in on the first day here. Last night around 9pm my mother in-law went to visit a few hours after my wife had left and she came into the room where her mother's gown was lifted up to the top half of her thighs and her right shoulder was exposed as if someone pulled it down and a stuffed animal that my wife bought her was missing. She did not look like that when my wife left. My mother-in-law immediately got her transferred back into Miami Valley and insisted on getting a blood test done to see what they had given her. The Robaxin didn't show up but they had pumped her with way too much insulin, way more than what was necessary... We're waiting for her to wake up in Miami Valley to ask more questions and get more tests done... Between the medical negligence, the nurses acting weird and my mother-in-law finding her mother almost completely exposed. If you already have someone in here, go check on them.

My Nana was here for literally ONE day for her physical therapy and they wouldn’t let her eat and as a diabetic, they let her sugar get to the 100s then administered 25 units of insulin. The hospital we rushed her to said her blood sugar was 69 and on the cusp of a coma and without their intervention she would have been in a coma within hours. Do not trust this facility, they are just another nursing home that neglects their patients who can’t take care of themselves. Other reviews here are of people who had loved ones who could talk and walk but mine couldn’t and they nearly killed her. DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY HERE.
