Park Meadows Health & Rehab Center 1

I was appalled when I went to visit my husband at this facility. He was
there for physical therapy and rehabilitation after being transferred
there from Shands. From the minute I walked in the door, with a
dozen or so residents lined up in wheelchairs at the front door made it
impossible to pass through, the odor....especially in the cafeteria would
make anyone wretch....to his room. The bed was a joke and looked
like it had been bought at a garage sale. The gentleman in the room
with him at been taken by ambulance to the hospital a day or so prior
and his bed had not been cleaned, all breathing tubes and containers
with bodily fluids were still laying there along with feeding tube bag
and hose. The bathroom was disgusting. I had known he had an
issue with the place but was just floored by what I saw. I checked him
out for lunch and once we left there noticed he was having difficulty
breathing and so I took him back to emergency room where he was
promptly readmitted. My son and I went back to Park Meadows to get
his things and to let them know what was going on and one RN barely
looked up much less got out of her chair and said "Yeah, what do you
want me to do about it....we can't do anything for him if he is sick
anyway" I WAS LIVID......THE LACK OF CARE AND COMPASSION IS
UNBELIEVABLE....I can certainly see how if you don't have all your wits
about you how harm could come to a loved one in a place like this. I
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE AT ALL......IS
DISGUSTING.
