Virgil Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center

The nurse we had helping my husbands mother and she was the sweetest person ever. My grandmother usually refuses her medication and never tries to swallow or even put them in her mouth. Usually people would get frustrated and just try to force her to take it. The nurse always takes the time out to explain why she must take the medication and slowly coaxes her to do so. We feel very comfortable leaving her in their care!

My Mother was brought to this Facility for Routine Care. All the staff has been so kind hearted and helpful. I would recommend to family and friends.

My mom was able to communicate, eat and no complaint of having pain
before she came to this place. Starting 2^nd day, they gave her strong pain patch & Morphine
which they were suppose to give her small amount if she needs it & gradually increase if necessary
but this unskillful young male nurse gave her full 1 mm tube of Morphine & put her into comma. How do I know? He showed it to me the box of Morphine & the tube feeder & said, when we take her home, give her very small amount of Morphine & give her more if she is still in pain. I asked him is this normal she reacts this way rolling her eyes & unable to recognize & not responsive, he said, not really, maybe I gave her too much of Morphine. Poor mom received way too much pain killer when she doesn’t need & wasn’t in pain. She was calling
for something else & assume that she is in pain or gave it to her to shut her up.
She was receiving over dose of pain killer at least 4 days out of 5 days she stayed.
She became unable to eat, recognize family members, suffered from the side effect of skin irritation, constipation, therefore, she became dangerously dehydrated,
no one suggested that she needs IV until I complained. Then a nurse yelled at me for not trusting what they are doing. I would if they know what they are doing.
After 5days of horrifying stay at this place, we decided to
take mom home before she dies there. Sadly, she passed away two days after
she came home but glad she died at her home not at this place.
On the day we take mom home, head nurse came over and trying to say how caring people they are & so on.
Please don’t send your loving parents here. It was absolutely horrifying experience.
So sorry mom. If we had known that they would treat you like that we would never send you there.
