GRANBURY CARE CENTER

Beware of this establishment!. A woman with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrigs disease, was admitted here and died two days later. Before her death occured, they denied her her rights, ignored her requests, and retrieved her only means of communication, her phone, and ignored previously given permissions with her caregiver to help with the transition. As a daughter of a woman with ALS, this sickens me the way Grandbury Care Center treated this patient. The patient was in such distress that she died within 48hours of moving in. Do not, I repeat, do not send you loved one here to live. Adult protective services have been notified.

Meh. It's been pretty standard overall, as I'm sure most nursing/rehab places are. The physical therapy aspect has been really good so far but nursing has a lot to held accountable for. I really feel sorry for someone who has to live in one of these places and doesn't have any family to look after them. There's been some good nurses but for the most part we feel he's been neglected, because he has a colostomy bag. Hardly Any of nurses seem to want to deal with it. He gets told that it's going to get drained or changed only to be let down and family has to go down to the nursing station and ask what's up because nurses will say they're going to help him drain it or change it and then they just push him off to the next shift. Today I realized My father's colostomy bag had been leaking for some time. While visiting today I kept smelling poo and upon investigation realized he was stepping on his own crap on the floor by his bed and had poo all over himself in the area under his bag. After calling the nurse in to replace the bag and clean him up, I had to go in after them and clean him up some more because they didn't really do a very good job of cleaning him up. I still smelled poo, so I took a warm washcloth with some soap on it and proceeded to try to clean him up some more and found that they didn't really clean him up much at all. The washcloth that I used ended up brown with poo and he had dried up crusty balls of poo in his pubic hairs. And this is all on top of his stapled wound!!!!!!! So you know this could cause an infection. The nurse that had to attend to him today hasnt ever really seemed like she wants to change or drain a bag at all because she's been avoiding it the whole time he's been there. It's just really disgusting if you ask me. I had to get a social worker involved for the nurse to even really give a crap (LITERALLY). Thank God for the social workers, nurses that really care and the physical therapists! His nurse today just looks like she's totally angry and hates life. I can't wait till my dad gets out of here

A corporate ran building, that don't hire or pay enough staff. I tried to talk to the director of nursing but she looks like my dad's old CNA from some years back and had too much attitude like a know it all. The nerve she is not the boss of me or my dad and has no right. I don't she has any experience and I overheard her complaining about other residents and about some of the nurses. My dad heard it too. Very unprofessional. Then last week I got a letter from her saying that I have to pick a new Dr, but we live our current Dr and NP. I'm guessing she, new nurse boss is the reason they left and I don't blame them. It just makes me sad because so many of the nurses, CNAs and therapists here are wonderful and this building has potential to be great but they pick nasty employees over good doctors and nurses.
