My family's experience while my mother was a patient on the 3rd floor at Lorien Health Services…read morefrom March 25 through April 13 was very concerning. While I understand the demands placed on healthcare staff, we experienced a lack of consistency in care, limited attentiveness, and poor communication when asking reasonable questions. At times, interactions with staff felt dismissive, which added unnecessary stress during an already difficult situation. More importantly, we had concerns about whether care protocols were being consistently followed, particularly given the seriousness of my mother's medical condition. After my mother was transferred to the hospital on April 13, a significant medical issue was identified that, according to her physician, could have become much worse had it not been addressed when it was. This raised serious concerns about the level of monitoring and care she received prior to her transfer. In contrast, the hospital staff demonstrated a much higher level of attentiveness, professionalism, and compassion. I am sharing this feedback, as I also shared my concerns directly with facility staff, in the hope that improvements can be made in patient care, communication, responsiveness, and accountability. Families place tremendous trust in these facilities, and I hope this feedback leads to meaningful improvements in the care provided to future patients.

My father was admitted to Lorien Columbia for rehabilitation, and unfortunately, our experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. From the office staff to some of the aides, I witnessed behavior and conditions that were unacceptable for a healthcare facility entrusted with caring for vulnerable patients. I followed the advice given to me and visited on different days and at different times. During nearly every visit, I had to ask for my father's room to be cleaned. I repeatedly saw gloves, gauze, and other medical waste left on the floor. On one occasion, his urine bag had been left unclamped, causing urine to leak all over the floor. A staff member cleaned it using only a towel, without any disinfectant. I eventually began taking photographs because I felt my concerns were not being taken seriously. One day, while walking past another resident's room, an elderly woman asked me if I could please turn off her call light because she had been asking for assistance for a long time. The staff member sitting directly across from her room simply laughed. My father was also discouraged from using the bathroom. One staff member told him he was "pooping too much" and that it was affecting his bedsore, while another told him to simply use the brief and they would change him later. As a result, he developed a severe rash. When I asked how this happened, I was told that "sometimes patients are allergic to the briefs." If that was the case, I do not understand why they continued using them. In addition, my father was placed on what they called a "mechanical diet" for nearly the entire month he was there, without proper explanation to our family. He lost a tremendous amount of weight during his stay and weighed only 102 pounds when he finally came home. He was skin and bones. I even had to ask staff to allow him to brush his teeth because he wanted basic hygiene care. Healthcare is not just a job -- it requires compassion, patience, and respect for human dignity. These are people's loved ones, and they deserve proper care, cleanliness, and kindness. No family should have to witness the conditions and treatment that I observed during my father's stay.

I received physical therapy/occupational therapy for a trigger thumb by Brody at the Woodside…read moreoffice. He was excellent. He was very professional during each visit. He sent me visual and written instructions of the exercises I should do at home. His therapy included exercises, ultrasound, massage using graston technique. and heat therapy. This is the second time I've been to Brody. In the past I broke a pinky finger which was useless at the time and at the end of a month of therapy it felt much better and stronger. Today, I can't tell that I broke it. I'm 65 yrs old so things take longer to heal. I was so impressed that I came back. This time my thumb was triggering and my strength was very poor in that hand. Again after just a month, the pain and triggering was completely gone but more importantly to me the strength had come back in that hand. Before discharge he gave me instructions in case it happens again. I can't say that I would have one suggestion for him. He was awesome!

In the past two years my wife has needed to go into a Rehab enter. The first time was two years ago…read moreafter she had back Surgery. They put her in a facility near where we lived. The facility was nice and seemed to be well equipped but seriously understaffed. It often took a half hour to an hour for an aid or nurse to respond to her call requests. Facility okay, staffing an issue. This time she after having fallen many times in our unit she was hospitalized, They decided to send her to a Rehab Center in Anne Arundel County. This place, though highly rated by Medicare was awful. It was a rather dingy facility in which you were immediately overwhelmed by the smell of urine and feces! It also took an hour or longer for anyone to respond to her calls, often she was told just to "go in your diaper" until we have time for you! The PT/OT facilities were bare-boned and she received barely more than 20 minutes of one or the other during weekdays. And on one of those days they had a group session instead of individual treatment where none of her Rehab needs were addressed! This place was so awful I found myself crying to myself, feeling guilty that she had to stay in this disgusting facility! I fought for and finally received the OK to transfer her to Lorien, Elkridge! I can only describe it as like going from the worst Motel 6 in the world to the Carlton-Ritz! Lorien Elkridge in a very welcoming, clean, well-equipped facility. And the staff, including the those working the front desk, are very welcoming, responsive, kind and caring!! She rarely waits more than 5 to10 minutes when she request assistance. They seem to be eager to get whatever she needs and often do the same for me. The nurse in charge, is on the ball and is willing to put up with my inquires of her medical treatment and requests from me to obtain specific treatments and/or mess (I will admit that my career with the FDA as an expert in both Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals does give me an unique knowledge base.) She gets OT and PT every weekday, often for as long as an hour each! I can't rave enough about this facility and its staff. If you live near Elkridge you definitely would want to send your loved one her if they need rehab. Heck, even if you don't live near here, I would still recommend you check this facility out.

After posting my original review, the facility publicly responded encouraging me to contact them to…read morediscuss my concerns further. I did exactly that and reached out as instructed, hoping to finally receive answers, accountability, or at the very least a meaningful conversation regarding my grandmother's care. Unfortunately, I received no response, no returned phone call, and no follow-up despite my efforts. This lack of response only reinforced the concerns our family experienced throughout my grandmother's stay: poor communication, lack of accountability, and disregard for the concerns of patients' families. It is deeply disappointing that even after publicly acknowledging my review and inviting further discussion, there was still no effort made to genuinely address what occurred or communicate with our family. Families dealing with the illness or loss of a loved one deserve compassion, responsiveness, and transparency. Sadly, our experience continued to fall short in all of those areas.

She rang the nurse bell and they told her stop. my mom was in pain at the time. se3cond issue was with the same attendant week later. my mother was in pain and needed to be attended to for using the bathroom. They did not change/clean her up until over a hour later. I reported this to a supervisor, and they said the person would be reprimanded and would not be back the next week. That person came in that next night and asked my mother did she need any help. My mother said she was in pain and had hard time breathing no one helped her. my mother had to call me from her phone and asked what to do. She called 911 and first responders took her to the hospital. The Nurses were good and vey profession and on their job. The attendant and supervisor are not. The place seems somewhat clean. Your love one's needs might be on the back burner with some attendants. Seems like they want you and your loved one's money but don't want to treat them like they would their own family. Since then, I have been looking into another rehab and senior place. She will not go back there and will never if i can help it.

My wife checked into Brooke Grove the day she was released from the hospital after undergoing hip…read morereplacement surgery. The place was very impressive form the outside and we were greeted nicely at the main desk and quickly assigned a room. That was where the positive impression ended. The room was nice enough and we settle back waiting for someone to show up and give us a run-down on what to expect during her week-or-more stay. After over two hours, I went into the empty hallway looking for the floor nurse. When I found her, I asked what was going on. Were we supposed to be given an orientation or what? She admitted that she should have done that. Okay, these things happen. But things never got better. The woman in my wife's semi-detached rooming pod began wailing all through the night for unknown reasons, and no one came in to check on her. Where was the floor nurse? Needless to say, there was no sleep that night. The next day, my wife had some very minor rehab exercises in anticipation of more serious work the next day. Well, that never happened. The following day, she began seeing blood in her stools. Worried, we hired a nurse to be with her during the night in case things got worse. Sure enough, things did get worse. In the late evening, very bloody diarrhea was happening, and the hired nurse realized this was a serious situation. After alerting the staff to this, she called us to tell us what was going on, and she sent us pictures to document the seriousness of the situation. The staff essentially refused to admit that maybe my wife needed to be immediately sent to the hospital. They seemed more intent in minimizing the situation and getting everything cleaned up in the bathroom. Furthermore, they said that her situation had to be first reviewed by the facility doctor before we could call 911. You can imagine our response. We immediately called 911, and five minutes later five first responders were in her room preparing to take her to Medstar Montgomery, five minutes away. And thank god for them and that hospital. She was immediately diagnosed with a badly bleeding ulcer - something she had never had a problem with previously - and immediately given remedial action and five blood transfusions over the next week. So, when I think about the total incompetence of the floor staff that night coupled with the almost total absence of anyone on the floor, even during the day, I can only imagine what could have happened if not for that hired nurse and her refusal to have her concerns not taken seriously. Do not send anyone you love to this place.

She needed one on one help with eating, and no one helped her. We complained and complained about this to no avail. We had to go over there every day to make sure our mother was fed. They did, however, continue to charge us the highest rate because our mother was receiving some of the services on that level of care.
