St. Patrick's Home

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. My mother in law, who has early onset Alzheimer's was placed here in November 2018. At first this facility seems like a dream, everyone is so friendly and helpful, really makes you feel like your loved one is in a caring, safe environment. Well, that's just not the case here. After just two days of my MIL being there, the nurse called asking that we try to calm her down because she was agitated. It's great that she called, however, aren't the nurses trained to deal with Alzheimer's patients? I mean, she's on the Alzheimer's floor! But no, every other day either a nurse or a CNA would call, asking us for help. We told the home that she is not too take Aricept for her condition since she has had adverse effects from it (severe agitation, extreme confusion, ect..) apparently they put her back on that and never informed us. So after a week or so of her being in st. Patrick's she started to act out more. The calls kept coming in, asking for our help. Then they said they would try her in Haldol to calm her. Didn't work. After exactly 1 month of her being there, my husband and I receive a phone call saying they are bringing her to the hospital because she refused to take her medication. The hospital said they were going to run a few tests, keep her over the weekend and she would be brought back to the nursing home. A few days later, I called the nursing home just to make sure everything was going as planned and she would return, I was told yes. The following day the nursing home called us to say that they discharged her to the hospital and is not welcome back to the home. I spoke with the social worker at the hospital who informed us that this is called "hospital dumping" and apparently many nursing homes do this when they don't want to deal with a patient and their needs. I have already been in contact with the state regarding this and st. Patrick's will be investigated. This is not acceptable and a disgusting way to treat the sick elderly, especially coming from a home that is supposed to be so catholic and faith based. It's truly sad when you can't trust a catholic nursing home who claims to be proficient in Alzheimer's care to take care of your parent. Now my MIL is currently a resident at the hospital, waiting for a home to accept her. ANYONE LOOKING AT THIS FACILITY, PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE. IT'S DISGRACEFUL
