Las Palomas Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Review

Overall:
Care:
Staff:
Facility:
Promptness:
Insurance:: None
Details:: I would NOT recommend this facility to anyone! Please read this...my Mother was a Cancer Patient, in Remission there for Rehab Only! The overworked,short handed staff failed to use Universal Precautions, ie: gloves, masks, gowns, when my mother developed not one but three deadly infections, the staff's words to me was , "We do not have to wear them..." My mother was rushed to the hospital where the hospital staff was so alarmed that she was severely dehydrated. Approximately a month later, my mother passed away from battling infections that she acquired from being in this facility. They serve fruit punch with every meal! The managerial staff-only care about their paychecks! The food...I would not recommend-horrible! The staff converse unprofessionally in the halls and treat the residents as if they are children and call everyone Sugar, Sweetie, or Honey...when you ask them a question regarding treatment - the answer is I'm just the messenger and will give you the run around. When you as a family member or the resident want to set up a meeting, no one shows from the facility. They break mostly every patient right- the treatment team doesn't even include the patient/resident in their care plan conference to review the person's progress. Now...is this a place you would like your parents to be in? Search long and hard-Although this facility looks nice...it's awful...My Mother died too young from simple mistakes of not using gloves, masks, and not adequate treatment...Don't let this happen to your family.
