My Sister was sent to rehab @ The Loft in East Peoria..This was such a horrible experience for her and myself as well. She wasn’t taken care of in any professional manner! It smelled like BM & strong urine. One night she was woken by a man with his hands under her blanket in her private area. She asked him what he was doing? He replied checking to see if you’re wet? She told him to leave her room, He bent her wrist back on her bad arm & asked if it hurt! She began screaming. The next day she informed the nurse on duty & she told her, There was no male working the night before! There is a collage not far from the Loft & it made me wonder?

If your employees can’t do there job to keep the residents safe from falling or even something that’s causing death I think it’s time to get new workers . I worked myself into the dirt to make sure someone else loved ones were taking care of . I loved them like they were my own grandparents. How would you feel if your loved one was in a facility getting ratings and fines like this from pubic health? And yes I know there’s going to be some Karen’s somewhere out there saying something in the lines of , well if they don’t like they can take care of the family member at home. I been in healthcare for over 19yrs I heard it all!! But until you try and take care of your own loved one that has dementia or some other horrible cribbling disease it isn’t easy one bitc. And yes we do have the one that just wanna drop them off and only show up when it’s an emergency when they are called . But come on Healthcare Workers We Are The Heart Of America!!!!! DO BETTER

They brainwash, punish by taking away things, keep family away, keep meds away the next day if you question your meds, let patients eat paper etc
