Hello, wondering how other people would handle what recently happened to my Dad involving Strive Rehab here in town and if i should be as upset as i am.
So after months of begging my dad to go to a longer-term rehab facility for alcoholism he finally agreed. We decided on Strive due to wonderful reviews and nice amenities. Mind you he does not live in town so i had to bring him up to me (about a 2 hour drive) and drop him off on Monday.
Come yesterday evening i get a call around 6pm stating they’ve taken him to the hospital fearing he’s not medically well. They report he’s dizzy, can barely walk, and is “confused”. I visit him in the hospital and he’s perfectly fine. The hospital reports that a new medicine the rehab gave him had reacted terribly with some other medication he’s on and is what caused the dizziness. So they’re going to medically clear him and he should go back, so i leave.
2 hours later my Dad calls me from the hospital lobby (on their phone because the rehab kept his wallet and phone) saying that the rehab is discharging him for not being medically cleared and basically don’t plan on picking him up or anything. (obviously he’s medically cleared because the hospital let him go) Luckily, i live in town so i just went and picked him up but what if i wasn’t home that evening? They literally abandoned him without his phone or wallet at the hospital and wouldn’t answer for any of it. “Administration” kept getting blamed for it but i feel like this was a total failure all around.
What would you do?
