I wish I could give negative stars! This hospital is TERRIBLE. If one has good insurance they will order every test they can and run them multiple times. My 83 year old mother broke her hip they ordered a CAT-scan, two hours later ordered another! The next morning they ordered another CAT scan to check for possible other breaks. X-rays will show breaks in bones CAT- scans do not. When I questioned the nurse she told me I was neglecting my mother by questioning their care! My mother has dementia she was so confused. Several doctors representing the hospital would come into her room and ask her why she was there. It was stated on her chart she suffered from dementia and she was on medication for it. Why in the world would a patient need 6 hospital doctors in addition to her primary doctor and orthopedic doctor! Then 2 more doctors tried to talk my brother and I into signing papers to revoke her DNR that she had renewed with her layer every 5 years since she turned approx. 59 years old. My god I can't think of any reason this hospital is allowed to operate! STAY AWAY FROM HERE!
As I was leaving the hospital a woman in pajamas, sitting in a wheel chair, by the front door. No one was around and it was 11:50 pm. I asked if I could get her something she said no they kicked her out that her time was up and she didn't have any place to go. She had an IV needle in her arm but not hooked up to anything. I walked down the hall and found a security officer and explained what I saw. I told him I thought she was confused and needed help. He said no she was going to have to call a cab if she couldn't get someone to pick her up. He advised me not to offer her a ride that I could put myself in danger! I stated this was terrible and reminded him it was almost midnight. He stated rules are rules, shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
What the heck! I took my mother to Elyria Hospital where she received excellent care!
