  Please I beg, if a patient needs long term placement DO NOT send them to Ceres Post Acute. It is an awful place.<br><br>I feel compelled to share our experience in the hope that it prevents another family from going through what we did.<br><br>My father was transferred to this facility for post-acute care. Within a very short period of time, there was a noticeable and alarming decline in his condition compared to his status at the prior hospital. He went from being able to communicate, eat, and walk with assistance to suddenly struggling to breathe and unable to speak in full sentences.<br><br>When concerns were raised with staff, communication was extremely difficult. We were unable to get clear or consistent information about his condition, medications, or care plan. Requests to speak with a physician were delayed, and when a physician did respond, we were told everything was “fine,” despite obvious signs of decline. There were unanswered questions about medications being administered that did not align with what we were told his medical conditions were. I was requested to call the previous hospital and determine why. This felt very inappropriate to inquiry rather than being a task handled by the facility.<br><br>On the day of his passing, we were informed earlier that his vital signs were stable and that he was responsive. Within a very short window of time, he was found unresponsive and resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. The facility could not explain how or why his condition deteriorated so rapidly, nor could they provide a clear cause of death. We were also given incorrect and confusing information regarding post-death procedures, which added unnecessary distress during an already devastating time.<br><br>Afterward, my brother went to retrieve his belongings and described the facility as unsanitary and chaotic. There was a strong odor of urine, constant unanswered call bells, patients visibly distressed and unattended, and significant delays just to gain entry to the building. Communication with staff afterward was also extremely poor, including being disconnected during phone calls when attempting to seek information.<br><br>The lack of accountability, poor communication, and overall condition of the facility were deeply troubling. If you are a family member advocating for a loved one who requires long-term or post-acute care, I strongly urge you to thoroughly research and consider other options. I would never knowingly allow a loved one to be placed here again.<br><br>My heart goes out to other families who may find themselves in similar situations. My father was only in their care for a total of 5 days.

  Worst! First expression when you entered the nursing home is smelly, staff shortages, and slow response times, inadequate hygiene for residents, and a bad atmosphere worst than prison.
