Review of Fort Worth Center of Rehabilitation

1 Star User Review

I checked with my lawyer and he said it is not libel if it is true. This is true.

My wife came here the day after surgery for wound care. It took 24 hours after admission before all my wife's medications were available, including her pain medicines. I had to medicate her from the medicines we brought with us. I once found her bandages soaked - they had not been changed for 2 1/2 days despite a high infection risk and a doctor's order that they be changed daily. One Saturday evening, they ran out of her primary pain medicine. Ran out! When I went to get our own meds out of her shoulder bag, they had been stolen. It then took them 24 hours to get the medicine to the hospital and get her a dose because of their "protocols", per the hospital director. Common RX available at any neighborhood pharmacy!!! The Chief Nurse later told me running out was the fault of the wholesale pharmacy that serves their account, even though her people gave the last remaining pills and took no action! The very next day, my wife did not get this very same pain medicine again because the nurse "couldn't find it". (They were at the other end of the hall in the wrong medicine cart.) They served fish to a patient on strong medicine that had bones in it. I provided all her meals from outside after that. Another patient's medical files were left on a table in the family room on a Friday afternoon, laid there all day Saturday and Sunday, and were not removed until mid-morning Monday. When I took that info to the hospital director Monday afternoon, he said that was an isolated incident and he would check on it. I told him if he wanted he could go right now and find unattended medical records on a table in the communal eating area, another isolated incident I'm sure. I have photo's to prove this.

Why did we stay? The wound care nurse and the PT people are top notch. They get one star only because of this. We also stayed because I was able to be present most of the day, everyday. Do not leave anyone you love in this facility unattended.
