My loved on was transferred on Sept. 21st late evening. Sept 22nd I was made aware she was given a medication that was previously not recommended to give her due to recent medical scenarios. At the time I requested to her attending nurse on shift " myself and family are requesting that no medication orders are to be administered unless conferred with myself or family for any medications and requested another option for pain management. Sept. 24th it is brought to our attention that she was given a sedation that started overnight on Sept 23rd that went until 5am Sept 24th. The attending nurse on Sept 24th confirmed to me there was previously no order put in for that request. He insured me that he would do so as requested after bringing it to his attention. Long story short she started having symptoms within the 48 hour window after stop taking the sedative medication. I had to call 911 today (Sept. 25) to have her transferred back to the traditional hospital after she coded this morning in their care. Also requested to have the nurse to put in for transfer and was informed they would need to check with the physician for that, meanwhile timing is critical for her at this state of condition she is in so I called 911 myself to request the transfer and only to find out they refused to have her transferred after I requested anyway. The most serious point that is relevant is that the medication was administered to her without conferring with myself or any other family member to give consent or able to request other options for treatment of what the medication was for. My love was stable and progressing prior to being administered the sedative medication which put her at serious risk and was NOT emergent, and did not allow the family to advocate on our love one behalf to make a informed decision about her care prior to administering her the sedative medication which had more cons than pros and toxic for her health related. When I arrived today (Sept. 25th) and reiterated the previous request made to staff, the attending physician continued to inform me that he would NOT confer to myself or any family member for consent of medications. Multiple other factors were stated as well that I can elaborate on but I'm sure by the response of my review already you can imagine what else had been stated and not done. This review barely scratches the surface of the events that happened today .

All the Cna’s and Nurses did a good job, all the nurses were great better than the other places I’ve been in. Shane the supervisor did a good job, If I had any issues he would come in and resolve the issue. Vicky the day Nurse has very good bedside manners. Mr. Dimmagio
