Does anyone know if they have a patient advocate?

Google is your friend
"If you feel that an issue hasn't been resolved to your satisfaction by your nurse, nurse manager or physician, please contact a patient advocate at (352) 265-0123 with complaints or concerns. You may call at any time during or after your stay."

Hmmm, I wasn’t aware there was a hospital in the Villages, just the place off El Camino Real that impersonates a hospital?

The developer says it is a hospital so it is a hospital

In years gone by you might have a point. But consider this: In the last thread about the hospital on TOTV, 42 out of the first 44 comments were POSITIVE.

Agree. We have had positive experiences. But, for those who have not, their stories are bone-chilling. My family keeps a watchful.eye when a relative is admitted.

Hopefully they have turned this around.

Developer doesn't run the hospital.

Pity they did not turn it around a long time ago. I am a 24/7 caregiver to my husband due to their incompetence. They did try hard to kill him, but he resisted their efforts.

I'm very sorry for your family's pain & trauma.

According to our friend Google iatrogenic deaths are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. with something like 1/4 million annually.

And "your friend" google is citing bogus data from the Johns Hopkins bogus study. The problem is with the definition of "iatrogenic death", which also probably varies from state to state. I can only speak for NY. If a terminal patient with stage 4 pancreatic cancer receives a standing dose of Tylenol outside the 1 hour window----lets say 31 minutes early, that is considered a "medication error" and must be reported to the state health department. When he dies 10 days later, it is an "iatrogenic death" since there was a medication "error" during the hospital stay. Now, when Hopkins gathered "iatrogenic death" data from the states, guess how badly their data was skewed. This is not to say there aren't any iatrogenic deaths, just that the Hopkins study greatly overestimated them.

Hopefully the new hospital being built inside the new Costco in Dabney will be better.

You have me confused again. What is "are died"supposed to mean? I don't understand the point you are trying to make or was it meant to be a joke? My only other guess would be you were trying to agree with the haters. Could you please explain? Thanks.

Not a COSTCO...... just a TRADER JOE'S which is smaller so it will probably just be an Urgent Care Place not a hospital.
