Review of Iowa City Rehab & Health Care

1 Star User Review

My uncle is at this facility until he is done with radiation treatments. My uncle had surgery for throat cancer at the University of Iowa Hospitals and had to have his voice box removed, so he can't talk. He also has two prosthetic legs, due to his diabetes. During one of he hottest days of the summer, they took him outside in a wheelchair, sat him in the sun, and left him out there for about 45 minutes. When they finally took him back inside, he was dehydrated to the point of having to be re-admitted into the Univ of Iowa Hospitals. He was there for two days. When we (the family) called the nursing home, the head nurse, Karen, was very rude and said she didn't know what happened. A nursing student took him out there. She acted as though she was agitated that we would even inquire about what happened to him.

This is not the kind of care, or attitude that is acceptable.
