Cold, uncaring, place where there is very little humane intervention for the dying patient. Dark dingy rooms, often with a tv blaring. Goal is to keep patient sedated and end life asap. This was the experience of my mother-in-law, who was the kindest person and did not deserve this place in the end. No loved one of mine will ever go here.
I updated my google review of Vitas Nazareth Cold, uncaring, and evil. They hastened my father’s death so they didn’t have to be bothered with him. He spent 1 day there. When we called to speak with him, the attitude we received was that we were a bother. They told us he was sleeping, or “out cold on morphine.” Our father went in eating and talking one day, and the next he was drugged, unresponsive, and close to death. On the morning of the day of his death, after his 1 night there, he called me at 8 am to tell me it seemed like things weren’t going as they should be. Then they drugged him again and he never woke up. No one called us to tell us how badly he was doing. I fully believe if we hadn’t visited we just would have gotten a middle of the night phone call telling us he was gone. . . IF they could be bothered. We pulled him out that night and he passed in the ambulance on his way home. My father was a good man and a veteran, who led a life always putting his family before himself, and he did not deserve to be treated as an inconvenience in his time of greatest need and vulnerability.
