I called my husbands doctor and spoke with him after my husband was in this facility for less than two days. I checked my husband out of the facility after speaking with his surgeon. My husband had a massive back surgery and required rehabilitation. Here are just a couple of things that happened within the two days at RIOSA. My husband was taken outside to visit with me and our Chihuahua. About 3 hours later the occupational therapist comes outside and says in a disgusted voice. ""So there you are, I've been looking for you all day."" Wouldn't a medical professional have questioned a patient?s whereabouts if they were not able to be found? Also, when she brought my husband back to his room she placed him on a potty chair. (Took long to get one. The bathroom commode is to low to get off of. He used it once and had to really strain to get off of it; isn't good for his back. The woman left him in his room with no call button pulled the drape and closed his door. He sat on the commode for over 1/2 hour he banged on walls, was knocking on the floor with his walker and yelling. A person who just had back surgery shouldn't endure this type of movement. Then when someone finally came they put him in bed laying flat left no controls or call button and just left him there. The clincher is that the nurse was going to wipe the port to my husbands pick line with a paper towel until he told her to use an alcohol swab. Oh yeah another thing is the food. Our dog wouldn't even eat it. While there another patient died. My husband was afraid he would be the next to go while in their care. I wrote our insurance and said I don't think they should be paid since they didn't provide the care they are contracted to give.
Pros: Check in nurse was nice.
Cons: outdated equipment and not proper type for certain individuals, terrible care
