PruittHealth - Fort Oglethorpe

Sheila

PruittHealth-Fort Oglethorpe was very small. It looked OK from the outside, but when they gave me a small tour of the place, they wouldn't show me any rooms, and now I know why. They had three people in a small room and that didn't work out at all. You're supposed to be able to press a button and tell somebody that you need to go to the bathroom, but nobody would come. So it was hard to get somebody to come when my husband would call for help. They had a lot of activities going on, but my husband couldn't do it because he couldn't walk, and they wouldn't get him in a wheelchair. They just let him lay in the bed. I think they wanted me to do it, and I couldn't. He had no control over the up and down of his bed. The control was at the foot of the bed and so they put him in one position, and that's where he laid. It just wasn't a good experience at all. The place was only good for the people that could get around, but for the people that couldn't, that needed help getting around and going to the bathroom, it's not. The staff during the day were very friendly, but the night staff, they were short of people.

PruittHealth was good, but the therapy department was the best. Half of the nursing staff was not good at all. Some of the food was not great. Some you wouldn't think go together. They would put anything randomly together. They only had one dining room, and only 60 patients could go into it out of 120 people. They had an activities department, which were good too. They had bingo, coloring, spa days, movie day, and dancing. They try to get the residents to have fun.
