Reviews
Porter Place caused my mother’s death. They left her sitting in a wheelchair for 2 days without fluids. We arrived to find her unconscious with no staff aware of her condition. She died 6 days later of renal failure. Incompetent and negligent.
Mom was here for 5 days. They don't let family visit for 1-2 weeks. We called daily asked if she was ok. Were lied to. Ended up going there after 4 days and found her almost dead, body temp 92 degrees, hands blue, unconscious in a wheelchair in dining room in short pajamas, no teeth and no underwear on with poop on back of bottoms. I, personally , had to do sternum rub on her, caregivers ignored us and acted like it was no big thing that a resident was unconscious. At the ER we were informed Mom was in renal failure, they had not given her liquids in over 48 hours. It was too late. There was nothing they could do. She died a week later. Porter place does not care. The RN in staff did not even know she had died or what had transpired. The "management " hides from us when we go in for answers on why this happened even though they told us "we are the experts". If i could give negative stars, I would. Do not send your loved one here. It is a horrible place.
