I wish I can recall who told me about VIP care management, but I had to take a moment and tell you how they came to the rescue. From the very first phone call I made, I was completely reassured from the beginning that I was in good hands. And even today, I still feel like I am as I might have a question from time to time and I can always rely on this firm to guide me in the right direction. VIP care management was able to handle all that was required to get the Medicaid application process as painless as possible. They provided ample information as to what they needed, and I simply scanned and emailed everything to them and before I knew it, my Mom got accepted by Medicaid. They even referred me to an excellent edler care attorney that helped in the process of getting my mom eligible where I had thought it might not be possible. All of the staff were great, and especially Randi who I can say was like family when we spoke. Best thing I every did for my Mom and for myself! Do yourself a favor. Call them and see for yourself.

He continued to get worse and they did nothing to help or "rehab" him. He was having a hard time participating in PT so they basically gave up on him. 1 Hour a day of PT if that, besides that they leave patients in the room or community room to just Veg all day - No televisions in the room, no interaction besides family who visits. Changes are few and far between leaving patients with rashes and sores. Wouldn't eat - staff had no care. Never once suggested additional medical care - you know maybe transfer back to the hospital or get a doctor in there to look at him. He was so bad we decided to take him out of there on the 30 day mark. We asked about hospice - they wouldn't refer. He was discharged on a Friday afternoon and died by Monday Night.

Most Yelpers use YELP reviews to search out new restaurants, share their thoughts and assessments…read moreon dining experiences, good and bad, and for some, especially the Elite Yelpers, to engage in the myriad of social activities sponsored by Yelp, or by fellow Yelpers through UYE's. Of course, reviews are also written for hotels, various service providers, hair and nail salons, and dozens of other types of businesses. I'm not sure how many reviews are written about nursing services or other providers of service which focus on health needs. Well, here's mine, as I know some of my fellow Yelpers may one day have a need for such a service. For the last 6 months I was engaged in overseeing care provided at home, and eventually in hospice, for my 90 year old cousin, Edythe. During that time, I had the need for at-home nursing aides for cousin Edythe, and called upon Lynden Nursing Service to do so. I was impressed with their efficiency, especially their ability to handle everything via telephone, and to respond to urgent needs. There were situations which really demanded logistic sensitivity and prompt responsiveness, in a very short window of time. As an example, the time when Edythe fell in her apartment (even though she insisted the wall telephone flew out from the wall and knocked her over), and she was seen in the ER, and when I was advised of her release, I did not want her to return to her Kings Point condo and not have anyone to be with her to make sure she would be OK during that night and following day. I called Lynden, and explained that I needed an aide in Delray Beach in no more than 90 minutes, that she had to speak without a heavy accent, and further explained some of Edythe's unique health challenges, to be certain they sent "the right person". They did! Trust me, it isn't easy to find "the right person", when it comes to nursing services and their aides. It is actually far more difficult and challenging than it is, let's say, for a hot, sexy, very bright, well educated, well employed, straight (or close to it) woman to find a 30ish guy with the same characteristics. Now, that caught your attention, huh, assuming you read this far. Well, Lynden identified the right people, and responded to my compulsive lawyer-like former Federal government senior-level employee mentality of not allowing anything to slip through the cracks, taking nothing for granted, and expecting nothing less than excellence. Edythe's last month of life had numerous challenges. When she was in hospice for 13 nights, attended for those nights with 15 hour shifts by one of their young aides (TAVIA), or when she transitioned to assisted living and was attended by another awesome aide (TEKEIRA) to help close out everything in her condo, take her clothes shopping, and re-assuirng her that everything would be ok, my life was made all the easier for the outstanding professional, reliable, and sensitive nursing aid service provided. If you have a need for an aging relative, you'll be well served by using this agency.

STOP! If your loved one cannot speak for themselves, this is not the facility for you!…read moreIf you are like me right now, you have been given choices to make. Do yourself a favor and take a tour before leaving your family member. There are some kind overworked aides who are doing their best. However, the facility is run down and there are some improvements that need to be done. For example, in Matthew wing, the air conditioning unit was not working. A fan was brought in by another patient. My husband had a fall risk bracelet from the hospital. The facility did not take preventative measures to keep my husband safe until he fell out of the bed. The next day they put some mats on the floor. He actually got worse after a week in this facility, was dehydrated and looked worse than when he got there. If it is all you can afford, be present every day because the facility needs all the help they can get. My husband was left with a diaper. They did not follow the same medical procedures as the hospital. So when you think you are going to a better place from the hospital, think again because he was sent back to the hospital thank G-d!

He went from a beautiful fully equipped residence to a tiny semi-private room where he could not even subscribe to his own cable TV. Not even a storage area for him to use, as provided in the Independent and Assisted Living residences. The staff there is friendly but terribly short-handed. Once he was finished with his prescribed rehab paid by medicare, the only exercise available in the gym was approximately $45 an hour. And when we tried twice to sign him up, our requests were ignored. A nurses aide walked with him two or three times a week for about 10 minutes, that was all the moving around he got to do. The doctors who work there are a joke. Maybe if one of them, or a nurse, had put a stethoscope to my father's chest, they might have suspected the pneumonia that wound up killing him a few weeks later.

Of course last year she only had a broken hip so it was straightforward home in 6 weeks. I even wrote a glowing letter at how wonderful the people were, the food was great and my only complaint really was that they didn't answer the Bells during meal times. This time was the most horrible experience ever. I was stunned to see how much the care had fallen in one year. The food was horrible, the administration is worse than horrible and my mother, who could walk up and down stairs, walk 120 ft round trip to go to the bathroom, get herself to bed and up in the morning and could shower herself had to be brought home on a stretcher. Now 10 days later she still can't walk. Why, because when she got there she had gout and the doctor and PA refused to treat it. At first I thought they didn't believe her and they absolutely refused to call me to get my mother's medical history with gout. I had to go over their heads to her rheumatologist in order to get her started on a Medrol pack which is prednisone. By then we were 9 days in with no treatment and the Medrol pack only worked while she was taking the prednisone. I fired the doctor and PA . The second PA knew right away that it was gout and ordered a second round of prednisone . Again while she was on the prednisone she started to walk again but as soon as she was off the medication she was in serious trouble again. I contend that had they treated the gout initially and not waited so long she would not have had to be on oxygen , she would not have had to endure that pain , she would not have had to be confined to bed. They simply did not care. Because she was confined to bed, she was left in her own stool for hours resulting in her first raging UTI. In addition to that they screwed around with her Carvedilol calling it a "hold parameter" which many facilities do. However what they were doing was having her miss entire doses because they didn't know what they were doing. That's dangerous. They were supposed to take her blood pressure and if the systolic was under a hundred they were supposed to hold the dose. They were supposed to come back and do her blood pressure again until it was over the hundred mark systolic and then give her the Carvedilol. I actually had an LPN ask me if she should give my mother the Carvedilol. Don't you think she should have known what a whole parameter was? And when I found this out and questioned it they suddenly came back in to take the blood pressure several times until they could give her the meds. I was Furious. Because they didn't treat the gout she got fluid on her lungs and had to be on oxygen and Lasix. To add insult to injury she ended up with yet another raging UTI from being left in her own stool for hours. She ended up being isolated and given an IV antibiotic. We were told everyone that walked into the room needed to be wearing a gown , gloves , a mask . No one did this . Not the director of nursing, the assistant director of nursing, the aids, the maintenance guys, or housekeeping. In fact after isolating her they took her out of the room to go weigh her . So why was she isolated? Let's add one more thing. She started to get a precious sore on her tailbone. The wound person walked in the door didn't get anywhere near my mother and said just give her the pink stuff she'll be fine. Then they sent in they're dermatologist and he said it was just flaking skin. She had to wait till she got home for me to clear that up. Certainly sitting in your own waist will break your skin down but no one seemed to care. This stay at V was torturous. They sent an able-bodied woman home on a stretcher because of their incompetence. Never ever again will my mother go to Vi. It was a horrible horrible experience and my mother has still not recovered from that incompetence.

Before today I never noticed the large Scandinavian population in Palm Beach County. Now that my…read moreeyes have been opened there are signs everywhere. In the 1930's Florida began attracting snowbirds with Finnish roots. Today you can visit a Finish display in the Lake Worth Museum or attend the annual Midnight Sun Festival held annually in Bryant Park. There are also a number of businesses owned by and catering to visiting and resident Finnish and Finnish Americans. Another sign of the Finnish legacy in Lantana is the Finnish American Rest Home. When Lantana and Lake Worth area Finns expressed the need for a place where people could spend their retirement years in the comfort of their own customs Mr. Sam Miller invited everybody interested to attend a meeting at the Tourist Club on October 21, 1970. At this meeting, Mr. Janger donated the first $75.00 to establish the Finnish American Rest Home. The Finish Village has evolved to offer three different levels of care, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, Assisted Living, and Home Care to transition people as people traverse the stages of aging. I was able to visit the Finish Village during the 3rd annual Scandinavian Christmas Market held November 20-22. The event had prepared food and pastries made by St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, Lake Worth. The church was founded in 1953 by Finnish immigrants and the official languages of the congregation are English and Finnish. In addition to great food there were items hand made by the church, European candy, meat and cheese, Swedish Christmas ornaments, holiday decorations, jewelry, candles, and more for sale. Outside there were more vendor tents selling crafts and poinsettias and bounce houses for the kids. I have Swedish roots so I especially loved this cultural event. Admission was free which allowed me to be able to spend more liberally on gifts and food. This was my first time attending the Christmas Market but I hope to make it an annual tradition.
