Soddy-Daisy Healthcare Center review: Worst nursing home in town

My dad and many others have been FAILED by Soddy Daisy Nursing Home. What I've been told, and what I've personally witnessed about this nursing facility that cared for my dad is beyond disturbing; basic care not being met, unsafe conditions and medication mistakes.

A former employee of SDHC reached out to me and said they worked there for years and saw both good and bad but also witnessed people getting away with things that shouldn't be ignored. They described management as putting on a front, while behind the scenes being rude, hateful, and mistreating residents. This employee shared what they've seen inside; residents being neglected, basic care ignored, serious incidents never reported, people left sitting in their own waste, unsanitary conditions and pest issues.

Another employee told me about a medication error involving my dad that nearly cost another resident their life. This resident ended up in the ICU, because they were given my dad's medication. Shockingly, the nurse that made the error was not fired. In addition, she was on probation for a domestic violence charge, at the time, and was working under an expired nursing license. I was under the assumption that they did a background check before they hired someone at SDHC. I guess not.

The employee told me that when my dad was sent to a psych facility, he had no behavioral issues at all. But the moment he returned to this nursing home, everything went downhill again. They described him being left alone, ignored, and even found in distressing conditions while staff did nothing. She stated that my dad was overmedicated and left unattended. He was ignored by staff for hours without care.

This former employee also told me that when residents with hearing aids wet their bed, employees took their hearing aids away from them. In addition, a resident had a catheter that employees wouldn't empty all day so the resident started doing it herself by emptying it into the trash can. They punished the resident by not coming to get her for dinner, and she wasn't allowed to do any of the game nights until she stopped.

In addition, If a resident had feces on them, instead of getting them out of their wheel chair they would just hose them down while they were crying and screaming continually spraying them just because they had an accident.

If you care about your loved one, you will not put them in SDHC, It is the worst nursing home in town.
