A Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility

I do not have words to adequately express how bad this place is. We were bamboozled by the hospital into accepting placement here on a Friday afternoon, not given time to visit or research this «renovated facility» before the weekend. (Had we not accepted placement, my brother would have been stuck in the hospital for a long holiday weekend, so we decided to give it a try.)
Think «One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest», and you’ll have a good picture in your mind.
The place is giant, empty, dirty, super old, and a bit scary. Care is poor, food is inedible– my brother lost an enormous amount of weight there, despite us trying to sneak in other food– and I can’t imagine anything «renovated» about the place.
One of my brother’s roommates became comatose during his stay, and none of the staff members could answer his family’s questions as to what occurred– they hadn’t even been aware of the situation!
It is run more like a jail than a care facility. Once you are there, you can’t leave, or you will be doing so against doctor’s orders and you won’t get into another rehab facility.
I CANNOT BELIEVE that the medicare website gives this place a good rating. I wonder if the people who evaluate these things would send their loved ones here? Please DO NOT send anyone who you care about to this place!
