Gandy Crossing Care Center

Grieving Sister

If you truly care about your loved one, I advise you not to take them to this place. I give it zero stars. I don't "feel" that he was fed properly or cared for properly. I can't sleep at night because in my heart, I feel THEY HURT MY BROTHER 🥹

Only a few CNA's here are compassionate. They don't answer the call buttons for some residents. Tell elderly women to get up and do it yourself when she needs 2 aids to help walk her to the bathroom. Leaving patients lay in their dirty diapers while the CNA's stand around. It's unacceptable when a family member haves to drive there to help their elderly parents to the bathroom. Because the aids don't get there soon enough. Then they get mad at the family member and say they're interfering because they had to do the job these CNA's won't do. I would not recommend this place to an enemy!

My experience with Gandy Crossing Care Center is very good. The therapists are good. Food is good. I wish I didn't have a roommate, but I can't get away from that. I took a fall coming out of my bathtub after a show, and I wrecked my knee, so we're trying to build up the strength in one of my knees that took a beating when I fell. Most of what I do here is to rehab the knee. With regard to activities, they have bingo and crossword puzzles, and those are the only two things that I've participated in so far. The staff is very good. They take care of me. They're doing a good job.

My wife was at this facility for two months. Granted they were understaffed , and hampered by weekly new Covid cases among patients and staff. Can you imagine a healthcare facility with “help wanted” signs staked into the ground out front? There were a number of dedicated hard-working individuals who cared and worked themselves ragged. Then again, there were many of those who were obviously just there to pick up a paycheck. My wife was transported there from Tampa General Hospital. She was not ambulatory because of having no left knee, her leg was restricted by a external stabilizer secured by 4 pins drilled into her bones, 2 in the femur and 2 in the shin. She took Gandy Crossing detailed written instructions from her orthopedic surgeon as well as a quart bottle of Betadine. She was to have the dressings at the base of the pins changed every day and the wound sites cleaned and painted with Betadine each time the dressings were removed. This did not happen. I only saw them do it once when I was there, which was every day. This resulted in the uppermost pin site becoming infected and full of pus, causing a delay in her knee-replacement surgery due to her having a Picc Line at home for 2 months infusing Vancomycin at first and then Daptomycin. Sometime during her stay the bottle of Batadine mysterious disappeared, as well as a number of personal items including clothing Her surgeon prescribed two 2 mg tablets of Oxycodone every 5 hours for pain. A house physician took it upon themselves to reduce her medication two one every 5 hours. After the facility stopped visitations due to Covid, she would sometimes call me in the middle of the night crying uncontrollably due to the pain. I advised her to “Start screaming! Scream just as loud and as long as you can!” She eventually got her pain meds. The only thing that kept her going was having good roommates, with their own stories to tell, with whom she still maintains friendships. My one star rating was generosity on My part.

Gandy Crossing Care Center was a very nice facility. It was very clean. The staff appeared very friendly. It felt very spacious. It wasn't like little dark corridors kind of thing, like you sometimes see in nursing homes. Their rehab area was very nice and very modern. They had what looked like good equipment in there. I was very pleased with it. You walk in the front door and everything is kind of centrally located, the rehab and the dining room and stuff like that. They had a nice area outside where you could go and sit. It seemed very convenient to the rooms and stuff. The staff were helping everybody. It was busy when I was there, but it was OK.

Rooms are dirty. Staff uncaring and controlling. This center has been fined in the past. Infections are common due to the mix of ailments/patients admitted.
