Review of Glen Burnie Health and Rehabilitation Center

1 Star User Review

I would never recommend Glen Burnie Health and Rehab to anyone. I had my mother placed here straight from hospital for followup for her after a potassium deficiency that made her memory issues worse. She arrived on a Thursday and due to her condition I had taken her suitcase a head of time for her with her clothes and pictures of my dad who has passed to help her adjust. I went to see her Friday, no suitcase, Saturday, no suitcase, Sunday no suitcase. They told me there was no one in laundry to assist, I went to that building and told someone I insist they check and she called me back and there on the floor wide open was mom's suitcase incomplete tagging with a worker in the laundry room where they said no one would be on the weekend. So here my mom is very confused wearing other people's clothes cause she doesn't know any better. They had told me that nurses and aids would help her bathe, this did not happen, mom's confusion got worse, and then I took her out of there on Monday and found someone to be with her during day and she has gotten better. I realize nurses are busy, I saw nurses nodding off and the patients on this locked floor needed to be monitored. I left messages for the director of this location to contact me this never happened. I reduced the medicine that they gave my mom which is Ativan because she looked stoned there and this has helped tremendously, I believe they give the as needed medicine more to keep the patients doped up so they don't have to do much. This was my first experience with a nursing home and I will never have her in one without first going there where she would be. My mom was someone who took care of herself and her depression and anxiety for being in a place where people couldn't even give her her own things was too much for her. It has taken me a month to get her anxiety relieved and she is much better out of this lousy place. I am not impressed with Administration there since they could not return my calls either. Please consider somewhere else before placing at this location.
