This is a beautiful facility, especially with its new wing. It has a decent cafeteria (newly remodeled) and is in a good location. By and large the nursing and tech staff are really helpful and good with patient care, but...
One of my family members contracted a resistant bug at this hospital. We were barely told he had gotten it, and then it was only in a sideways comment like ""Sometimes you pick up things in a hospital that are worse than what you came in with."" Well, yes, and what a shame we were left uninformed and sent home. Sometimes you pick up an inability to communicate due to fear of lawsuits is worse than anyone dare say.
The shame and fear if lawsuit made everyone grave and creepy. We should have had this infection explained to us, but it wasn't. We should have been taught about precautions to use at home, but we weren't. And here we are 3 years later with our family member still suffering.
This was a preventable infection and new guidelines would hold the hospital accountable but they weren't in place back then.
