Review of Powerback Rehabilitation

Don't even consider this facility!!!! Here are just a few examples of the negative things we experienced at Brightwood:

A therapist who gave up on getting my Mom better and told us to go home and get her house ready for her to live in a wheelchair.

Technicians who told her to urinate in her diaper and they would clean her up later.

Medicine delivered late more often then it was on time.

The attending doctor casually mentioning that my Mom was going to be discharged without discussing the details with her or our family. My Mom was not ready to go home, but because she was not progressing at a pace acceptable to Medicare she was going to be released. The facility did not give us enough notice to prepare for her next step. And as I said the attending doctor irresponsibly mentioned her discharge in conversation acting like it was a happy occassion, but we were totally caught off guard and unprepared.

Upon discharge, the attending doctor did not order rails for the for the hospital bed that was being delivered to the assisted living facility she was moving to. Two nights after arriving my Mom fell out of bed and ended up at the emergency room.

What an awful experience. The state should close this facility down!
