No. Just NO! STAY AWAY!…read more
NO stars deserved at all.
Dirty, dirty, dirty, and they drug their patients at night so they don't have to deal with them. Sepsis, bed sores the size of baseballs, pneumonia, bruises, a UTI, dehydration, not able to swallow after less than 7 days of being here for some reason, and ZERO PT. No baths. They don't regulate the diets. They don't read charts. Bad things happen at night and on the weekends with their "traveling care teams." If you want to visit a family member, you will occasionally find the doors locked, and you can't get in, kinda like they're hiding something. They refuse to tell you anything about your family member when you ask them, and they will lie right to your face. IF for some reason you or your family memeber ends up here (or anywhere for that matter), make sure to document EVERYTHING! PICTURES ESPECIALLY, videos, writing everything down. Dates, times, names, what was said, what happened..... Stay current on getting copies of medical records and lists of medications, because you'll get the run around on that request when you leave the facility and no one will call you back, and if your family member dies (whether its in an acute care facility or nursing home, hospice, the hospital or wherever) you need to appoint an Administrator and get a lawyer to get the medical records unless you have a durable medical POA.
If you suspect anything or don't like how your loved one is being treated, file a complaint with the ILDPH.
This place is a slow death for anyone.
My dad spent 15 days in this hole (after 7 days, he could no longer eat or swallow. Kind of like someone stuck something in his throat, and he couldn't get it out or like they punched him in his throat. They couldn't even pass a camera down because of some sort of "blockage" when he went back to the hospital). He had so many infections that they had to pump him full of antibiotics AFTER he was readmitted to the hospital, less than 3 weeks after being discharged for a STANDARD HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY" A week and a half after that, he came home for hospice and died within 3 days.
OH, don't worry, I'm writing a book which WILL be released in the next year or 2. You can't pay to remove book sales like you can to remove Yelp reviews. Karma is a you know what, and people WILL be held accountable! Apparently, a $213,000 fine for violating the Civil Monetary Penalties law wasn't enough, so now we move to prove breach on contract and care. Don't be fooled. They DO have deficiencies and fines and payment suspensions. People need their licensures pulled.
NOTE: If this review is removed at any point in time, I WILL make sure it gets put back. It's funny how several other reviews have disappeared, and no other information can be brought up about this facility anywhere unless you know where to look.
Open your eyes too, some of the doctors in the hospital are just as terrible and just wanted to shove my dad out of his room after a week where he was being treated for all these facility incurred infections, so they could make room for the next victim they were going to send back to this hole. I guess they didn't want Medicare to penalize them since he was being readmitted back to the same hospital within less than 30 days.
Watch out for Alden Debes, too. For some reason, if you leave OSF, that is automatically where they want to dump you. We believe some of this may have started there.
