Russell Park Rehabilitation & Living Center

My husband was in Russell Park for three months. It was a sad experience to say the least. Maybe it is a mismanagement of funds because the staff is precious, yet incapable of keeping up. They are always short handed and one can wait until after 3 pm for their morning bath. The food is not clean. It is tasteless. Again, a mismanagement of funds. I personally watched the housekeeping person come in and clean the floor missing the same piles of sheet rock bits for over two weeks. As well as avoiding a cob web under the bureau. And I think if memory serves me, I did see one caregiver wear gloves one time. It is very sad for people who cannot move or defend themselves.

I am sadden to hear my sister cry each time I call her at Russel Park, she is bed ridden, a diabetic, she continues to tell me, how she is seldom changed, sits in her urine, is verbal abused, emotionally abused, always hungry, or thirsty. Rings her bell for hours on end just to get someone, he list goes on and on. Apparently this place is understaffed. Unfortunately I live in another state, but am coming up to see what in the world is going on. My sister is very well educated when it comes to Nursing care, as she has retired from that line of work. I have tried to call several times, but to no avail. To be continued........when I get some answers.

Russell park has bed bugs, and I can promise you it's not going away.
