Vintage Health Care Center

Let me start by saying that I’m an RN that worked in the operating room. I have not worked in a facility such as Vintage but the care here is subpar. I would never recommend this facility to anyone. My father was placed here for rehab post surgery. He was dealing with dementia and Parkinson’s prior to the surgery. We were concerned for his post op care and made the educated decision to place him in rehab. This was the worst mistake. He had trouble feeding himself, wore diapers, and couldn’t walk post surgery. Vintage did not help offer him food or fluids. I know a patient can refuse things but we have it on camera that it was not offered. He lost over 20lbs in two weeks and became severely dehydrated with acute kidney injury from the dehydration. This reduced his kidney function by 70%. After that we moved him and placed him on hospice. Let me make it clear that his quality of life prior to surgery was declining however he was still able to walk, eat slowly, enjoy some of his favorite drinks, and enjoy time with family. He has since passed and I feel Vintage accelerated his medical decline. I know it was coming naturally but they are to blame for the accelerated timeline of his death. Please protect your loved ones from this facility.

This was the worst care that I have seen ever! My ex-husband was there for rehab post total shoulder. He had dementia and Parkinson’s. He walked into the hospital to have the surgery but never walked again after entering this facility. The first night my ex- husband was there he had messed his sheets. The sheets were placed in a corner of the room and the tech said they had no more sheets. My son was with him. The tech asked my son if he wanted her to put them back on the bed even though they were contaminated!!! Keep in mind he had just had surgery! My son said no. We had a meeting with the administrator and all higher up staff in each department the next day. They asked us to give them a chance to make it right. It only got worse. We had a camera in the room and his dinner was delivered but sat across the room. He was unable to walk and had trouble feeding himself. The staff came in an hour later and took the food away. No one bothered to feed him. No one gave him any liquids. When I went to visit him he was in the dining room and no one was around to help him eat. He had a small bag of IV fluid on a pole attached to him. He looked like skin and bones. I asked to speak to the nurse. The nurse could not answer my questions. His answer was that he didn’t know anything since he came from another floor. I guess they don’t give each other report. I spoke with PT and they were not behabing him - he was refusing. I said have you reported to my daughter. Answer was no! I told my kids to get him out of there that he was dying. They made plans to move him home the following Saturday, however, the facility took him to the ER. After assessing him, he was in kidney failure and was severely dehydrated. The staff got him well enough to go home. He had to come by ambulance since he could no longer walk. We put him on hospice and a couple of weeks later found another nursing home that could care for him. Unfortunately he died after a few weeks there. This was only a highlight of what happened. Vintage staff kept him in a wheelchair all day. Not sure how they changed his diaper since he had no colon and urinated in it. I turned them in for neglect with the state but they found nothing! DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE THERE! BTW I am a retired nurse and there are big issues at this place!
