My husband was at Life Care in Kirkland for rehab just over a year ago...and I was there in November because they owe me money.
I feel very bad for all those people but a lot of the patients I saw weren’t in good shape. Very sad to see what can happen.
Yes it is sad. Those places are no where to be when you are old, in fragile health, and not able to fight battles for your self. Hospitals are a bit better, but I would never let either of my parents stay overnight by their self.
We always took turns staying with them in the hospital and I usually took the night shift. The RNs and Docs were usually good, but the rest-well I best not say what’s on my mind—might get banned for bad language.
Even just a cold or flu can be deadly to an elderly person in fragile condition. But of course if people really stayed home when sick with those conditions, their bosses would have a fit.
