Worst hospital ever!! I was there last night for 3 hours. Didn't do a single thing to help me. Dr. seemed to have a really bad attitude. You go the ER for help! Not to sit there 3 hours for absolutely nothing!!

Report
My father was sent here from a long term care facility on Saturday night. I visited on Sunday afternoon. The staff in the ER admitting area were very nice; however, the staff at the nursing station (2 females and 1 male) were very unhelpful. They were rude. The one nurse was leaned back eating with her feet up and never even acknowledged my presence. The other two could not identify my fathers room and then literally laughed about the fact and that the handwriting on the clipboard was difficult to read. They provided no assistance, direction to his room, or update on his condition. I work in
