Had to fill out an hours worth of paper work, and he was in extreme pain.
hours?
When a volunteer came down to take him to his room, we went home thinking he was in good hands. Your brother in law and you didn't see him settled in? The volunteer took him to his floor and handed over his package of forms and information. Shift change and a hour later some one asked him what he was doing there.

Next day when we went to visit, his nurse had not even read his file and had no idea why he was there.He said that? You asked her?

I could go on.........., but even getting him signed out was a nightmare. And his nurse came into his room mad, because I had the nerve to go ask the floor nurse station what was going on and could they contact his nurse to get the paper work to us for his discharge.?? She was mad?

Sad to give a bad report, but why gloss over facts, and pretend this sort of thing does not happen in The Villages.
This is really not very clear and you never did say what treatment he received and for what?

I can understand not everyone agreeing about the hospital but your complaints are not clear to me. Everyone has to fill out paperwork to be admitted. Getting someone signed out requires release from the attending physician and that is not always easy to do, because he/she may be tied up.

You said you "could go on" please give us more details if you want to be understood and agreed with.

"Why gloss over facts and pretend this sort of thing does not happen in The Villages", sounds like a Villages bash to me.

But I could be mistaken. May I have some popcorn?
