The staff @ Kirkwood Manor leave everything to be desired. My family member was very unhappy there because he never got his meds on time, in fact went to the nurses station to get his meds more than once. The food was horrible. All Kirkwood Manor cares about is the buck they bring in. Point in case, they discharged my family member because there was no way for us to pay the 142 dollar co-pay that I had told them up front we couldn't pay @ which time I was told not to worry about it, that the co-pay could be waived, it had been done before. I feel he was discharged because he complained and also because he refused to do PT on days that he was feeling particularly weak ( he has severe heart failure w/only a 20% ejection fracture). They are using the co-pay as an excuse. They have sent him home to die where it will traumatize all of us, especially me. I said all they care about is the buck but that's not exactly accurate. If you complain about the shoddy and maltreatment you receive there they boot you out and don't care what your condition is. They are horrible. They are also untruthful.
