Review of Larchwood Inns

1 Star User Review

This is a poor facility. My grandmother was there for the last days of her life in 1996. She was cognizant of everything but paralyzed on one side. She was put in a cramped room with no window and nothing on the walls to look at.

My dad was sent there several weeks ago for "rehab" after knee surgery. He was given medication for conditions he doesn't have by nurses aids who don't speak American. When he objected, they tried to force him to take it. The place reeks of foul odors. What they put out as "food" smells chemical and is rubbery. Dad was unable to keep anything down the five days he was there. He became so weak that he shook violently and was unable to raise his arm yet the staff insisted he be put through therapy.

Nursing staff gave him Milk of Magnesia for vomiting and blew off all requests for easily digested nourishment so he could get some strength. The air conditioning wasn't working right so the room was hot all the time.

My brother finally sprung my father from this prison on a weekend by calling his doctor at his home. Larchwood isn't a good place to go even if you're ready to die.

Larchwood Inns has no patient rooms without windows.

This not true!!!!! My dad has been there now for two years. I have meet nothing but kindness and caring staff. Every body there speaks english and have compassion. If your not able to eat they go out of their way to give you some thing. The staff are knowledgable of medications and assist in any way they can. When some one is dying I have seen nothing but caring and compassion from the staff. They put roses on the bed of those that pass for respect, they also give nice care boxes to help families remember their loved ones. I have seen team work from all staff to give quality care thats why this facility is a 5 star and I would not have my dad any where else.
