An Elder Rehab Patient In Detroit Answers 3
What happened to you? As a senior citizen 90+ in age, blind in one eye and partially blind in the other eye. I also have a pacemaker and am unable to stand without a walker. I was sent to a facility to receive post hospital recovery. The facility placed me in a bed in a decent private room without a walker, a working phone or an alert for attendants to come.
What would you like to see happen? Better inspection and evaluation of rooms for patients before they’re placed.
How do you think others can help? Create more options for patients and their families to report and pool their stories of what happened to them. (9-3-22)
