Mom was at The Village at Rockville - A National Lutheran Community. She wasn't there long. For that short period of time, it was even a far better experience than I had in other places. It was cleaner, more stable, and nicer. She was in hospice, and it was a better environment for her. There was a lot of privacy in the rooms, and there wasn't a lot of chaos in the hallways. It was sort of like a small hospital. The rooms were well-appointed. They came in and changed all your sheets. I liked the layout.

I thought about writing this, for months now, but after what happen there everyone should know. They don’t deserve any stars. I am an RN and what happen with my Aunt everyone should know what they did. I put my Aunt in there for rehabilitation to get her better before coming home back at the end of July. Well it instead put her in the ground instead. A women who walked with a Walker and was able to do things for herself but needed help because of her rheumatoid arthritis. She became septic while there from a UTI and c diff. I told the doctor a week and half before that she might have a uti because how she was acting. But he instead put her on medication she allergic too. Which the hospital had her allergy list so not sure how it didn’t go to them. They told her to poop and pee in her diapers. She was able to walk with a Walker but they wouldn’t get her up to go to the bathroom. She had sores on her legs because the aids and nurses weren’t carefully and blamed it on my aunt. She had a syncope episode and didn’t do anything for her but check her blood pressure but since it went back to normal nothing was check up on. The doctor dr. Sharna say she was dehydrated so gave her four liters of fluids IV. And she couldn’t keep them up because no one thought that she would handle a heavy water bottle. What elderly patient can? Supposedly gave her 4 more litters of saline. He refused to discharge her like planned. We ended up leaving against medical care. When I got to her she was so septic and so sick from a uti and c diff that she was barely oriented and dehydrated. I took her to the hospital we’re a week later she was put in hospice because she was so septic that she could not get better. She ended up dying. If I had not taken her out of there she would of died there.

My parents were in rehab in The Village at Rockville. It's a great place, lots of staff, very well run, but way too many people. It's a huge place. They love the food there. They had tons of activities during pre-pandemic. They have six floors. If they for any reason had to go back, that's my choice would be in Maryland, to put them back there. It's ten minutes from my sister's house and five minutes from the hospital.

I had a friend staying at National Lutheran Home for some months. It was clean. They had a lot of programs for the people and they have a chaplain there for them. They did a good job in terms of rehab but my friend really didn't need rehab that much. He had Alzheimer's and needed somebody around the clock with him. Their food was very good, with wide variety, well cooked and nutritious.
