My Dad was there for about a month and a half. For the most part everybody was caring. I only had one incident. I walked into my dad's room and he was sitting on the floor in a diaper half undone. I look over and saw a patient sitter playing and talking on her phone. I was extremely upset and hurt. The nurses one the locked unit were very kind. I was an emotional wreck and they talk me through things. I was sad about receiving the phone call after he had passed. I wish they would have called me before hand .

I requested weeks ago for a doctor from the VA home to see him/call me. This has been untreated for several weeks. No antibiotics or ointment. They diagnosed as “fungal/athletes foot”. NOW, he’s been admitted to the hospital, receiving antibiotics and a doctor that is treating him. VA Home falls through the cracks but it’s the administration fault for allowing it to ... read more
