Parkside Villa

Have you seen one of the SAW movies? That is what it is like to stay there. If you love yourself or family member I beg you not to go or send them here. Here are a few of the issues I experienced during my 10-day stay. It may look good if you are visiting but when after guests leave and the lights turn off the horrors come out.For the first 3-days Parkside did not have some of my medication. One of the prescriptions was my pain medication. I had an open wound!Some posters on other sites say the food is amazing? I am not sure where they ate but it was not Parkside. Over 10-days I think I has two good meals out of 30.Every night, nurses took hour to bring me medications. One nurse acted stoned each night. My vacation was continuously losing seal and being loud. When I reported it, I was told that it was holding its seal and that was the way vacs work. This is not true. The vac was quiet when I was in the hospital (29-days) and was 99% silent when I got home for three months.I went for days when I could no sleep because of the loud noise. At one point over a three-day period I slept for six hours. I would run a fan on high, turn on the rooms heater/air conditioner and wear a very good pair of noise canceling headsets to try and lessen the noise but it did not work. April 8X 2019 - I was released by Parkside to go home and receive home healthcare. The nursing home sent me home with a wet-to-dry dressing on my abdominal wound and said it should last 3-days which was when they said I should receive my home VAC machine. I spoke to numerous other nurses and my doctor after about this and none of them could understand why Parkside sent me home with only a wet-to-dry and that wet-to-dry dressings typically only last eight-hours and never 3-days. As a result of being sent home early with a wet-to-dry dressing on April 8th I had to go to the ER twice and Southwest General wound center once to receive help with changing the dressing.On or about April X - I received my home VAC because I called my insurance company. I managed to get the VAC approved with a 10-minute phone call on or about April 11. Parkside could not get it done after a week. On or about April 15 Parkside called me and wanted to do an "exit" interview. I was unable to speak with them but told them I had concerns on how I was treated at Parkside and how Parkside fumbled my discharge. Parkside said they would call me back but never did. I believe I called twice to speak with someone and left a message as well but of course they never called me back.Food/drinks Parkside kept in the refrigerators in my “wing” was for the most part expired. I told at least three nurses four or five times and I was told each time they would check into it. The food/drinks was never replaced.I had to continuously ask for my bed and room to be cleaned.The air/heat unit in my room has to be replaced because it was either 100F or 60F in my room for four-days.I will say the PT and OT people were great. They were caring, knowledgeable and on point every time. It is almost like they are in a different universe from the nursing staff.
