Brittany Manor

My father is a stroke victim and is totally right side paralyzed and cannot speak. The staff do not give information to the family or to each other about the status of my father. I have to ask very specific questions; what did my father eat today, how was his mode this morning, what were his labs, why were labs drawn? to find out any information. The staff appear to like him and are kind to him, but we the family have to keep constant watch as to what is being done (or not being done)

One of my parents had to have care here while having rehabilitation after a small stroke and fall. Even after this incident, my parent was till kind, polite, and aside from a small speech defect, was very oriented and reasonable. The staff would spend the least amount of time possible interacting with the patients/clients. One evening, when handing out medication, my parent said "I believe I should be getting another dose of [this] medication". The nurse said quite abruptly "Thats what you have ordered and thats what you get". Only the next day when the same thing happened, I asked they recheck my parents prescriptions as they had another prescription for an additional dose of [this] medication. 30 minutes later, the nurse returned with a small cup and the additional medication stating "Here is the rest of your medication!" and left without offering water, etc. The nursing and medical assistant staff seem to be antagonistic to all the patients, a real "us vs them" mentality. Food is really bad, likened by my parent to the "slop they served in the army 70 years ago". Also, the staff expects these clients to be able to request what they want without any menus, suggestions, or even kindness for those who can make it to the dining hall.One bright spot is the PT and OT. They seem to be contracted from an outside source and were professional, through, and kind.Think carefully before you send any loved one to this place. Check often on how they are being treated; the lip service given by staff may be false.I do not have an axe to grind here, but as a physician, I do know Brittany Manor is in serious need of improvement. There is a reason for the poor reviews, and does your loved one deserve this type of treatment at a vulnerable time of their life?
