terrible care

I would not recommend this facility. They are as nice as pie when you meet them but the actual care is terrible. I left my father in this facility for respite and they didn't know the first thing about catheter care. I had to physically go over there myself because they left him in a terribly uncomfortable state. I taped up his catheter and tubing and the exact same tape was still on there two weeks later. I know this because he told me and they did not have the type of tape that I brought from home. He is physically unable to move at all during night. On one occasion they left his feet crammed against the bars at the foot of the bed and refused to help him. He was in so much pain and didn't sleep at all that night. On other occasions they left tubes underneath him causing pressure sore spots. When he asked for help to get the tubes out from underneath himself they told him to be quiet and go to sleep. My father in law was also at this facility for a short time and we transferred him out as soon as possible. I have been involved with health care for twenty years and this is the worst facility for care that I have experienced in Saskatoon.
