My Dad who is an alzheimer's patient needed to be "relaxed" because of his tendencies of combativeness at his assisted living home. They recommended Auburn Geri-Psych so off he went. He spent 4 weeks there. And he walked in on his own two feet. When he came out he was in a wheelchair and so heavily medicated it would have put down a horse. They put him on five different meds to be given twice a day to keep him "managable". They admitted to needing five people to put him in "timeout" cuz he was combative. He's scared you idiots. They also admitted to using six people to give him a shower. This many against one happened numerous times. When I got him back he had serious sores on his heals from laying in bed so long. And he's whincing of pain in his hip. He has yet to walk again and after two months you would think he should come out of his dark hole that they put him in. They perscribed depacote, resperdal, adavan, and a few others to all be taken twice a day. He was able to run before going there. I hate that place. They don't know what the hell they're doing. And the people working up there don't really seem to care about what is best for the patient. A lot of money was paid to them and they should all be removed from the hospital. I gave them a rating of 1 cuz they did feed him. They suck!
Pros: None
Cons: They really don't know what they are doing
