(non bed sore images version) Lee Mobbs was a patient at kindred hospital Los Angeles where he developed numerous stage 4 bed sores exposing bones and organs.In this dirty hellhole and where they lied to his family claiming he had a number of terminal illnesses to obtain a "do not resuscitate" order in an attempt to cover up their abuse and neglect.Then he was down graded to a nursing home in far worse condition than he arrived at kindred hospital.The department of public health has been reluctant and uncooperative in investigating.

and also let me tell you something my grandpa was in better shape at northwestern in chicago and RIC (chicago) these placed were top of the line. then he got better with talking and moving out of bed then when he went to kindred it went down hill also they gave him meds and drugs he didnt even need. which caused him to be seeing things.

also the place is very ghetto. they dont follow what the familes want and im reading these comments and my family is going to lawsuit this place we walked in and my grandpa was laying in his own shit. and the people dont even respond to the people when they push the nurses button like it takes 2 fucking hours the staff would rather be smoking new ports then helping the people. #realtalk. its funny how the state of ILL allows this kind of stuff to go on

my grandpa is at kindred hospital in a very Latino neighborhood l(by shures high school) chicago. this place is very discusting and they dont even take care of my grandpa, my grandpa has colen cancer and he has to have a ostomy bag and he doesn't get it changed right. im only 15 and i know how to change it they put the damn thing upside down. and all the people there were in better shape BEFORE they went there. my grandpa is being moved out, its funny how they approve of this

@June575 I agree.

[heavyjersey]

I'm sorry for your parents. 

[heavyjersey]

As a nurse who does what I'm supposed to do regarding wound care, & hygiene with my pt...turning as well, I do not appreciate irate family members or uninformed family members who complain to me...the nurse regarding care. Its time consuming & is taking time away from my other pts. The person whom you should complain to is the MD. After all, nurses & cna's follow the dr's orders. Dr's prescribe protein packs to boost help improve wounds. A surgeon can debride that wound. Like I said,be informed.

I am not disagreeing with you. Bed sores are not the fault of the pt or family. What I'm saying is that no matter what the staff does, if that pt is not up and moving, a bed sore will come anyway. No matter how much you clean and turn a pt, he will get bedsores. A low protein and albumin level also causes bedsores. I am a nurse. I am educated on this topic. More than you know. Yes I know there are situations, where the staff is not working as they should.

@heavyjersey Bed sores are not the fault of the family or the patient. However; when a person comes into the facilities, we as the patient's and we, as the patient's family members believe that the staff should treat the patients as they would want their own loved ones to be treated. That means bathing on a regular basis, repositioning every two hours and repositioning properly. If you can not provide that same type of quality care that you would want for your parents, then leave the career.

@heavyjersey After I left the hospital one night someone did come in and turn my mother over and they placed her on her PEG tube. When I came in the next morning, I asked the nurse to come in and move her so that she was not laying on the tube. The tube was embedded into her skin. The nurse had to pick the tube out from under her skin which had grown over it. This developed into one of the worst bed sores that she had. It went to Stage 4 and got infected.

@heavyjersey You are right about one thing. When a patient as a PEG tube or a nasogastric tube, you do have to be extremely careful in turning them. Extremely careful in not allowing them to be placed on the tubes, as well as not pulling on the tubes. I can not tell you how many times I saw the staff turn my mother and neglect to move the tubes out of the way so that she is not laying on them or place her knees/legs up against the railings, not give her a pillow to separate her calves.
