He is a Vet. and we did not have time to take him to Gainsville. He received very good care, however, a year later I was in the same place,(for different reason) and my experience turned into a nightmare, not to speak of all the roaches that were in the room, plus old syringes under the bed. I will not go any further, but will go to Ocala from now on.

Villagers (and others who use a hospital here) - there is never any excuse for a dirty area or room in a hospital. Absolutely no excuse. I encourage you to report these conditions to the nurse manager, nursing director, or ceo - someone in authority. No decent hospital executive wants to have conditions like that in their facility. If you don't get satisfaction, please report the condition you noted to the FL State Department of Health. They will see that the issue is resolved. And if you or one of your visitors has a smart phone, take pictures so you can visually demonstrate what you experienced.

Hospitals are dangerous enough places because of germs and other seen and unseen dangers. Don't tolerate filthy conditions or subject yourself to them. I worked in healthcare for about 40 years. I won't put up with filth and neither should you.
