Review of Kingston of Miamisburg

1 Star User Review

I was in this facility for almost 9 months. Before I entered as a resident, they took me on a tour. Very impressive as they take you through the new part of the building. Both halls had private, semi-private, and rooms that housed 2 patients. They showed me their indoor heated swimming pool and the physical therapy room. Nurses would come up to me with big smiles and say, "Hope you come visit us a while." After the tour and the interview, I called them 2 days later with my decision to accept their offer. When I arrived a liaison met me and guided me to a part of the facility that was not included on the tour. I passed room after room in the new section that had several rooms that were unoccupied. Surely I waited to be led into one of those rooms but we kept going. They took me all the way back to the old section of the facility. As soon as we got in the hallway wing, the stink of feces and urine permeated the hallway and my eyes began to water from the overtaking odors. They led me into a room with an 88 year old man that was deaf as a doorknob and had his television cranked up high. They took me to the bed by the window. They showed me the closet I had to share and the bathroom. By 20 minutes after being there the smell was nauseating me and I was having gag reflexes from the odor. I asked them about the rooms in the new section and they told me those were reserved for short term patients. I was having regrets about moving there. 2 weeks into the stay the man I had to share the room with started waking me up all hours of the night cussing me out and telling me I had to get out of his room. After begging and pleading in tears, they finally moved me to another hall. It wasn't any better. I noticed the aids setting around in the lounge discussing health issues about other patients in front of other patients who were in the room. They bitched about how bad they hated their jobs and how they hated cleaning patients who were incontinent. Come to find out some patients hadn't been cleaned for several hours. Dementia patients were left roaming the halls and going in and out of other patients rooms completely ignored and un-attended. I had one female patient that kept coming in my room all hours of the night waking me up trying to get in my bed. I would hit the call button and sometimes it would take them 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to answer the call. In the meantime I had a female patient in my room, pulling the covers on my bed with me in it. It seemed like I had to put out one fire after another. I never got my meds on time. Many times I had to get up and chase the nurse down who was usually setting in the lounge or outside smoking a cigarette. Let me for warn anyone thinking about putting an elderly loved one in Kingston facility. They only show you the shiny part of the facility but 98% of the time they were put in what I called "The Concentration Camp Halls". One time they put a man in the room with me that had open MRSA. He was suppose to be in an isolated room. They tried to convince me that I was safe. I went online to the CDC website and read what was suppose to be done with a person who had Open Contact MRSA. When I confronted the Nursing Director they told me that was an old practice and was not done anymore. I called the Ombudsman's Office and they sent a person down to see the situation. The facility was definitely in violation of CDC practices for MRSA patients. After that I got put on the dark brown smelly stuff list. Needless to say, I got out of there as quick as I could.

Yup, I am not happy with the way they are treating my mom. She's coming out of there ASAP, never to return again. I'll come back here in a bit to go into more detail about the horrible treatment she's getting. Right now, I've got to go back to make sure she's ok. Second time today.
