Please do not send a loved one here for rehabilitation. Nurses took FOREVER to get to my Mom after calling for help. On her first Sunday evening the overnight nurses were very mean to my Mom when she had to use her bathroom. My mom had been waiting for assistance when they finally got to her it was almost too late. The nurses accused my mom of yelling at them, they fired back at her. We called the nursing manager the next day to inform her what had happened. We never saw those nurses again, Mom was paid a little bit more attention to for the next day or so…then it dwindled back to mediocre. The truly alarming part is that my Mom would vomit when she walked around too much and get winded. This happened every single time she had physical therapy, which consisted of her walking down a hallway for 20 minutes. She would be given a trash can to vomit into and then put back to bed. Nothing more, never question why she was vomiting. Two weeks in was Christmas Day and we picked her up for the day to be home and with her family. We brought her back in the early evening. Two-Thirty in the morning we got a call from a nurse that she was being taken via ambulance to the hospital. She had a lot of blood in her stool. Long story short, because nobody in that place seemed to notice that an 84-year-old woman that is supposed to be under their care hadn’t had a bowel movement since she’d been there! TWO WEEKS. My Mom was very sick. She was in the hospital for the next 3 days and DID NOT go back to Fairview. The lack of staff and follow-up with patients is disturbing. It seemed that no matter how much we spoke up about the care for my Mom, nothing really ever changed. Also, thank God my kids from out of town were staying for Christmas because instead of calling the emergency contact about the trip to the hospital, they called my Mom’s land line….seriously? I will never, ever recommend this place to anyone. Awful, awful, awful.
