On Friday, my grandfather passed away. He had been in the hospital for 1 month, to the day. He had COPD and emphysema. He had a knee replacement surgery last month, and he was fine after it. He was at an after care facility and they did not give him the breathing treatments he was supposed to have, and he was not given the quality of care that people deserve. He was given physical therapy once a day, not 2-3 times like they told him at the hospital he would get, and they kept in him lying in the bed all the time. Someone with the lung problems he had should never be left lying down like that. And two days before he was scheduled to go home he was taken to the hospital because he was so congested and could barely breathe. This was found out in the afternoon! They hadn't even checked on him that day. And after several other things happening over the last 2 weeks, he passed away.
He was 78, would have been 79 yesterday. It's really sad, it didn't have to be that way. I know that everyone has a time appointed that we die, but, those nurses at that care home should have been doing their jobs better! And it makes me really angry that they're in a profession of HELPING people, CARING for people and yet they're neglecting people and not caring for them.
They'll be held accountable in the next life, I'm sure of that.
