If you could peak inside a large city hospital or inside of nursing homes or inside of rehabilitation and care centers , without the permission of any doctors, nurses or administrators, what would you see? What would your experience be like? Would you see a well-run building? Or would you see staff that look as if they are on vacation? What happens in the large city hospitals at night, on the, as they say, the graveyard shift?

YOU Have permission; Here Is How To Get It:

You can visit at the beginning of visiting hours---yes, right IN the visiting hours but at the very first hours, and at the last hours, and you will see more of what is really happening in there. WHen it is in mid-visit hours, by that time, they have cleaned most of it up. But in the early hours, they never expect anyone to visit at those hours, so they mess up sometimes, and slip up and forget to cover-up their negligence and their lack of care.

Peak here and do not tell anyone. You will see some workers who are exhausted because this is their second job, not their first job. You will see workers who are tired because there generally is not enough help and the night workers, even though it is slower at night, are more tired because they are not used to sleeping in the daytime and working at night.

Lack of Supervision:

You will see a lack of supervision, and lack of administrators because most of them are off-duty and the ones that are working have their hands full on these slow nights. You will probably see the hardest workers of all are the cleaning staff. No joke. The cleaning staff will be making everything sparkling so when the lawyers and investigators come around, they can and will report that the building was clean. You will see people standing around, hanging out . AND, yes, of course, you will find a few workers who actually know what they are doing and find others who are actually doing it.

Stinky Urine Smells, Old Stale Urine --Means dirty diapers Hours and Hours Old:

In the past, I have visited many teaching hospitals and or large city hospitals and a few more private hospitals on the weekends, off-hours and holidays--during visiting hourse. One of the worse experiences was when I went with a friend of mine to visit someone on the weekend at the New Vanderbilt Rehabilitation and care center. When we arrived there, we saw that the hallways actually smelled of urine when they did not smell of urine when the bulk of the visitors came to visit. Even though we were there during visiting hours, they were not expecting visitors so early on a weekend. So obviously they had not cleaned up this floor and it really stunk of urine, of , we guess , dirty diapers, and other non-pleasant scents. You could smell this right as you got off the elevator and the scent was stronger as you walked down the corridors. On a different occasion, same place, we saw one man with his pants soaked from urine. It seems that sometimes even though the places are understaffed, they appear to be more understaffed OR the staff is simply not supervised enough to be running properly BEFORE the bulk of visitors get there.

What is the worst that you have seen in rehab centers and nursing homes?

Check out these places on weekends but get up EARLY and arrive just as the visiting hours begin, and you will see what the place is like and what the places smell like BEFORE the visitors arrive. (Maybe if the staff is reading this , they might have the time to begin cleaning the place up). The urine smell was the very least of their very serious other problems. No one knows how the place stays open, but I am guessing that someone is hiding something, wouldn't you agree?
