My best advice to anyone considering North Arundel is to run and stay away. I've been there a number of times int the last few years and it just gets worse and worse. Beds are not changed everyday or even every 2 days and then only when 2nd shift comes in. Had one experience where my bed was not changed until 3rd shift. There are a few great nurses and aides there, but they are discouraged by the lack of help from the rest of the staff.
Patient meds are not given on time or correctly. The facility is dirty. The food is horrible and looks like dog food. The dining room also serves as the recreation room and the tables are not cleaned before each meal. They are nasty. Patients are often given food that is not on there diet plan. If you go, take your own food.
Even the doctors are surly and rarely take time to actually see a patient.
If you love your family member or care about their well being, RUN the other way. Do not leave them there thinking they will get the care needed.
The mortality rate is also high. Within a two week period that I was there, a patient died just about every other day and I'm not exaggerating, nor am I talking about patients there for hospice care. Patients fall out of wheelchairs and are not always checked for injuries.
This place should be closed down immediately and Maryland, the health department, and the ombudsman should inspect it frequently if they are to continue patient care.
If you want to get rid of someone, just send them there; guaranteed they will not last long.
