Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington

I took my mom here for rehab following a shoulder replacement, and we were generally satisfied with treatment. The place is aesthetically pleasing to look at, and it doesn’t have that «smell» that some of these types of places are known to have exuding from them.
Mom was happy with the room and the quality of the care. And she was especially happy with one nurse, who cut up her food. (Which, after having a shoulder replaced, really helped because she only had use of one arm at the time. It’s a little disconcerting, though, that no one else seemed to realize that cutting up food with one hand for an elderly person would be a problem for her. And my mom isn’t the type to say anything about it.)
There was one major problem, at her release, as my mom was given a narcotic prescription to manage her pain. (She did, after all, have her shoulder replaced, which is major surgery and there is pain associated with the recovery of such an invasive procedure.) The problem was that the doctor left off the amount of narcotic pills for the pharmacist to fill. And the pharmacist CAN’T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A SPECIFIC AMOUNT for narcotics. (They won’t give you anything other than to suggest taking Tylenol!) And then we couldn’t get a hold of the doctor, as (apparently) they’re pretty much MIA for the weekend after 2pm on Thursdays. And, in my mind, this really was an severe oversight that so little help was available for my mom after the fact.
Though I wouldn’t let this little story dissuade you from coming here, BUT if you’re going to be in need of prescription on an out-​patient basis, I’d be doubly sure that it’s properly filled out; particularly if you’ll want to get it filled after 2pm on a Thursday.
