Given he had fallen and been injured on their watch, you would think we would jump at the opportunity to move him somewhere else.

Information from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
When I arrived on Tuesday she had already been sent to the doctors office, 90 minutes early. The Guilford House allowed AMR to take her 90 minutes early and dump her with the doctors office. If she was alert this would have been bad enough, but in a semi-confused state, she had no idea where she was or what was going on.
The building features 23 private rooms, 26 semi-private rooms and ancillary service space designed to support a program of rehabilitation and wellness. All of these features make it an attractive choice for skilled nursing care. Nursing homes provides non-acute medical and skilled nursing care services, therapy and social services under the supervision of a licensed registered nurse on a 24-hour basis.

When my mom was first there, I asked how I find out how things worked, for instance who does the laundry, should I get her own toothbrush, stuff like that. Most places like this have a handout with this sort of information. I was told I would need to request a meeting, and these meetings happen every Tuesday and Thursday. I thought this was a little strange, but asked for a meeting that Tuesday. On Monday I got a call telling me that they saw my meeting request, but that those meetings happen on Wednesdays, and the next available one was in three weeks . I had to visit Tuesday anyway to go to the doctor with her, so I figured I would just deal with it then.

When i got to the doctors office, she had been abandoned in the lobby, alone in a wheelchair. While AMR bears some blame here, the Guilford House, in my opinion, reneged on their duty to care for her by allowing AMR to transport her well in advance of an appointment. Also, although I had told them I would be there they didn't bother to let me know . Like I said, chaos rules at this place.I had other indications that she was neglected while she was there, but I don't feel I have enough information to bring charges against the facility. I certainly did not feel safe leaving her in their care, and made arrangements to have her moved immediately.
