My mother was sent there from Centennial Hospital after being in the C.C.U. for 16 days after she had surgery for "dead gut". As soon as I walked in, I knew we should have went elsewhere. The facility itself was very old looking, as was the equipment (such as the bed), very poor WiFi, visitors had to pay for their own food trays, & the place had a moldy smell. It had the feel of a run down nursing home with equipment sitting scattered throughout the hallways. The very 1st day my mother had to wait for 4 hours for a cup of water/crushed ice (which she was allowed to have at Centennial earlier that same day.) Also on the 1st day she was there the nurses wanted to get her up in a wheelchair for 2 hours (which is their standard procedure for all their patients) without even speaking to her doctor about it first. This doesnt sound like a big deal, except for the fact she hadnt sat up out of the bed in 16 days & hadnt hardly eaten anything in equally as long a time. I refused to let them sit her up that day until I could speak to her doctor the following day & got his opinion. He said it was fine, so they sat her up for half an hour & my mom said she felt like she was having a seizure so they put her back in bed. Then around 8:30 that night, she said she felt like she was having a heart attack, so both her nurse & the charge nurse came in, looked at her, gave her her night medicines & some gas medicine & at 10 that night her eyes became glossed over & her right side became unresponsive & I told the nurses, they came & looked at her & said "Its probably just her medicine making her unresponsive/sleepy." But two days before that at Centennial she was on Morphine & still responded to me anytime I asked her anything. It took them 5 days to do any extensive exams & at that point, it was too late to do anything. My momma passed away August 16th, 2016 at 8:30 p.m. To say their procedures/nurses need updating/better training is an understatement. One of the nurses didnt even know what they did with their corpses & told me I would need to call a funeral home at that moment to come get my mother because they didnt have a morgue. The only saving graces this place had was that it had a beautiful courtyard with lovely flowers, trees, a pond, & fish; a shower facility for families, & 4 wonderful nurses I encountered while there (Barry, Sherry with respiratory, 1 larger male physical therapist, & 1 larger female nurse, sadly Ive forgotten both of their names). I would not recommend ANYONE to take their loved one here EVER.

My husband was sent here by my choice. He spent 27 days in Vanderbilt due to a simple procedure that was suppose to be outpatient...a biopsy...well we wound up being incubated for unforeseen circumstances so we are here to be weaned off the vent....learn to eat...walk and talk again. I stay with him six days and nights out of a week....We came in on March 27, 2017....The day crew for the most part seem to do the best they can for their patient load....good respiratory team during the day....your 7P to 7a is not qualified...when calling for a nurse, cnt or rt I get hung up on or my husband has to wait up to 20-30 minutes....I am so sorry I brought him here...I have not expressed my dissatifaction to administation at this time buy I assure you I am...I dont want to make things harder on him.....I (his wife) have done his bed pan...changed his bedpan....changed his bed pads...changed and cleaned his bedsore due to people not performing their job efficiently...I am writing this at 115am because Im afraid he will not get proper care so I will not go to sleep tonight due to rt and nurse do not know how to properly perform some care my husband needs....Someone needs...maybe joint commission...needs follow up on night shift immediately.....The speech therapist you have here is absolutely awesome....You do have a handful of great people here on night shift but you seriously need some retraining on patient care and cleanliness....my husband has had one bath since the 27th...I would like to know who to speak with that DOES NOT work in this facility....Thank you.

As described to me by several health professionals in Nashville. They are extremely neglectful at times and lazy. My mom had to be sent back to CCU because of their poor protocols and procedures. They expect patients to get better with little medical assistance collect their money and move patients to their next stop before the patient is ready to move. Their misdiagnosis of a UTI and low O-2 levels led them to contacting a shrink instead of applying the appropriate anti-bioethics and ventilator. When I asked the doctor what was going on, he was clueless. The sent her to a place that wasnt prepared for her arrival and the ended back in CCU. Now she is back at Select Hospital. If you want mediocre health care and your loved ones personal items (like eye glasses) thrown away.....send your loved one to Select Hospital.

I dont want to say too much as i have a family member currently here receiving treatment. However, I am dismayed and upset about how the staff and management is at this facility. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. I am highly displeased at the lack of coordination and attention to detail here.
