Lake Mary Health and Rehabilitation Center

I am a nurse case manager- and after my husband was here for 3 weeks- I will never send anyone there again. It was horrible- at the careplan meeting it was abundantly clear that they never read his hospital discharge notes- they had no idea when his staples should come out and when he should be seen in follow up- I had to ask for them to remove the sutures from his chin- and I had to ask for that repeatedly. They asked me what his discharge instructions said- and when I reminded them that they received them- not me- since he was discharge there- they were silent and they had a " oh crap" moment. Terrible- and unless you are able to be there to advocate for your loved one- don't send them here.

Love Check,LLC is a non medical service that will check on the well-being of your loved one while in a nursing home, assisted living or hospital setting when you are not able. Great service to use.

My dad went here after one week in the hospital for rehab and strengthening so he could get surgery for his hydrocephalus. He was admitted on a Friday and didn't have a doctor assigned to him until my mom complained on Monday! This hospital is severely understaffed. My mom was pressured immediately after admittance by the financial office to sign a contract for care after his insurance benefits ended in 20 days because the "per diem price was going to go up." Because he had some dementia from the hydrocephalus and kept trying to get out of bed himself (and falling), they placed him in a wheelchair by the nurse's station. Because of being short-staffed, there was no one at the station to monitor him and he was freezing. After being there 3 weeks, he died of septic shock. My mom wasn't even told that he had an infection but she did notice that he had vomit on his clothes when she took them home to wash 2 days before he died. She was there everyday! We didn't find out that the cause of death was "severe healthcare related pneumonia" until my mom received the death certificate. No care for an infection was provided for him before they rushed him to the hospital on the day he died because his blood pressure was terribly erratic. We are grieved at the care he received here.
