Fort Washington Health Center

I was there in late February. I am an RN who did work at nursing homes in the 90's. As a Nurse I never treated people the way they did. I was admitted on Saturday around 6 pm for rehab. Had surgery on a broken ankle that past Thur. I was to stay completely off my left leg post-op. 1st they had to change out the bed bc it was broken. Waited with ambulance crew while they put in a different bed in the room. Once in the room, it was so hot my roommate had to keep a window open so we could "take it" so hot... When I asked to see the Nurse, said she would be back. When she did come in she did no admission exam. Gave me some pills, didn't show what they were. When asked my morphine which I take twice a day.. They would take of that tomorrow. Night Nurse did do my PPD for TB. Got me some Tylenol.

My brother recently die from the care in the care of for Washington rehabilitation center located in Fort Washington, Maryland. I won’t tell anyone do not, do you got any circumstances send a LLove one to this facility for anything unless you do not like them nor care for them, and wish them harm or death. They allowed my brother to suffer his last week of life. When my sister went to visit him on the day that he passed, they had taken away his nurses call button, taking away his ability to suction himself. Turn the machine off, he was in feces they had that there’s no wash them. The nurses were rude told family members that if they wanted to talk they had to go in the hallway and they were not to wake him up because he was difficult to deal with and that they could not understand anythin

This place is horrible! I wish I had researched them before I chose them for my mother’s rehabilitation. Everyday it’s something with them. They are so unorganized! The nurse’s are rude and unprofessional. Please avoid the trouble and headache!!! Pleas do not bring your love one here!!!!

My mother's death was due to inadequate monitoring by some staff members. Mom had dementia and was ultimately at risk for falling She had several falls that resulted in head and face injuries; bruises; bleeding in brain caused by trauma from falls, missing clothing and other personal items. Why no surveillance in hallways? It's allowed in hospitals, schools, day care centers, etc. Over the 4 year period that she was a resident there, it was obvious that staff turnaround was great, some of her GNAs and nurses were there with their hearts in it. A good amount could care less, lazy, nonchalant. Be aware if wound care specialist tells you that a bedsore is just an irritation!! It took the hospice nurse to point out the 'irritation" was a bed sore on the skin over Mom's tailbone. It worsene

To: Rosalind Stokes and The Fort Washington Health Center My family and I can not thank you enough for the care, support, and understanding your facility provided for my mom and my family. From the moment my mother entered your health center it was wonderful. Thank you, to the nurses and staff members who took numerous of calls from my family. Everyone was so willing to provide us with updates and would even let us know my mom wasn’t having a good day. Not to mention that window room we could not ask for anything better. We enjoyed the staff as you would stay in the room as we prayed and sang to our mom and grandma. I give a special thank you to the staff members who did not tell me to stop singing because I wasn’t a singer. My mom even told me one day to stop that noise. LOL. Ke
