From a nurse-supervisor friend who worked at TVRH...
”The hospital is OK for simple illnesses or needs. But if you have something that might require more complicated treatment or surgery, go somewhere else.”
From a Villages Health doctor...
”If you are admitted to TVRH, be sure to ask to have a Villages Health hospitalist listed as your attending physician. They will probably resist, but be insistent on this issue. Otherwise good care there can’t be assured.”
From another friend, a retired health insurance executive who evaluated TVRH extensively before moving here...
”One of the reasons for TVRH’s low ratings is the high number of people who become infected while in the hospital. The frequency of infections and the causes should have been corrected within the first year or two after the hospital opened. Instead, ten years later, TVRH may even have a higher level of patient infections than when they opened.”
From a friend who works as a volunteer at TVRH..
.” My job as a volunteer is to wheelchair patients to their cars after they’ve been discharged. I hear all the complaints and horrible stories. It’s unbelievable.”
