With the lockdown directive from the CDC, Weve been working with Specialty Health and Rehabilitation in Pensacola Florida in facilitating visiting with our Mom. Mom cant do FaceTime as she has a flip phone and dementia . Using the same process thats worked in Kirkland Washington, weve been sitting at an exit with a clear glass door and talking with her on her phone. We were doing this twice a day. We were not camped out. We would meet in the morning after breakfast and in afternoon before dinner. We always made sure our visit did not conflict with her treatments. This kept everyone safe. We were not in physical contact with her or staff. However today, Specialtys corporate office declared NO ONE is allowed on the property. Their way of communicating this policy change was to have their Risk Management Director call me and order me off the property. He threatened to call the cops and escort me off the property. Wow! Take about over reacting! Talk about heartless corporations! This mans words and attitude made me feel threatened. Im a white haired 69 year old woman who flew 3000 miles to try to communicate with my mom. They would not allow my sister, who is her POA to have contact with her. You can meet with me or call and advise that there are new policy changes, but threats??? This is way out of line. A total lack of compassion. Could it be that the GCHC CORP honchos meeting at Specialty Health and Regab were intimidated by the two little old women sitting in rockers this morning?

Awful place to work for if you are a person who needs and wants a to work for a place that encourages growth. Management is complacent with their fixed culture; they have no desire to change and improve upon issues. One issue is lack of communication. I had multiple staff members acknowledge this issue, yet also admit to being okay with it. They stated, "It's just the way it is here." I attempted to be an example of organization and good communication, but they did not seem to appreciate someone challenging the status quo, even though they admit to the demand of change. Staff will accommodate to rules and policies when the state comes to observe, yet will neglect rules and policies once the state is gone. I am uncertain if every facility is like this, but the one I worked for is.
