Business ProfileforProMedica

My husband was transported to Promedica ****** via ambulance due to diminished cognition, vomiting, diarrhea, slurring and indecipherable speach, and an inability to walk. He is a cancer patient with Parkinsons Disease. They hydrated him and then discharged him. They loaded him into the car. When we got home he could not even walk, couldn't perform basic movements required to get him out of the vehicle, couldn't walk, didn't remember getting assisted up 3 steps and into the house, and didn't know how he got to his chair! THIS is CLEARLY not a man who was "BETTER" and "READY FOR DISCHARGE". I'd love to know what assessment criteria Dr ********* and the nurse on duty based their discharge decisions on because this man was CLEARLY not at his baseline and was in no way well enough to be discharged home to walk, toilet himself, dress himself, or prepare meals on his own. This man spends MANY hours alone at home each day and THIS is CLEARLY not a man capable to do so. Promedica staff did not assess for risk or ask about barriers to accessing his home independently because if they had they would've realized that this man should not have been discharged in THIS condition. If not MEDICAL NEGLECT, it was at the minimum apathetic disregard for this man's health and safety!!!
