Oceanview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Urine for breakfast Anyone??? Become a resident at Oceanview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and that may be case — at least that was my father’s experience on Day 1!
This so-​called facility for «nursing and rehabilitation» is more like a pit for the Walking-​Dead! The residents did not look sick and/​or elderly but rather overmedicated and severely neglected. For example, when I arrived to visit my father on his first day, I was greeted by the lovely Receptionist in the picturesque and well-​maintained reception area. However, just past that façade are a set of double doors and through those doors awaited a traffic jam of unattended wheelchair-​bound residents and the stench of human excrement so strong my eyes watered. I tried to ignore the shock to my senses but the scenery became worse with every step.
Further along, down the narrow hallway, I noticed even more unattended residents while «nurses» huddled around the nursing station talking each other. There were chairs and large janitorial units randomly parked in the hall, which I thought was dangerous. When I finally arrived at my father’s room, I found him lying in the bed practically lifeless. He was shirtless, coverless and dehydrated because no one attended to him and the room temperature had to be at least 100 degrees! The bathroom was smelly and the furnishings were filthy and dilapidated but wait there’s more! The coup de grâce, the reason I wrote this review, and the reason I personally discharged my father on Day 1, was when I noticed on his feeding tray, a cup filled with dark yellow liquid that the «nurse» insisted was apple juice but learned — after smelling it — that it was urine. Fortunately, it was his own urine… I hope.
I realize that was a long «example» but there is no short way of describing the nightmare my father and I experienced at Oceanview Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation. It has been two weeks since I removed him but this place and experience still haunts my dreams and daily thoughts. The upside of this experience is that I learned the value of researching nursing homes in advance, and as a result, my father is in a much better facility. My final thoughts and words of advice is to please take some time to do your research or at least remember this review and avoid sending your loved one to Oceanview Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, as this is no place for humans… or animals and should be shut down immediately!
