United Regional Healthcare Systems Duplicate Hospital


The hospital stay was fine. I was there only 2.5 days total. I chose "Average" for the restfully quiet response because as with all hospital stays, the staff does not let you sleep all night undisturbed. Also, patients rise at 5 am each morning to shower. If I went to sleep around 10 pm each night, I was also awakened at midnight, 2am, and 4 am for various tests or medications. Sleeping wasn't too great.

The accomodations were very good and each Bariatric patient gets a private room. They were also very helpful in finding suitable chairs and things for my mother, who stayed with me and who is handicapped. The bathrooms were large and the hospital beds were specially made for larger patients. They have a booming business for bariatric patients and they treat them well. The nursing staff was fine, but did not usually go out of their way to do anything. They were courtious and helpful, but unless you were in distress, they left you pretty much alone. Some people would love this, others wouldn't. I was fine with it. They do not walk with patients, though, and there were a couple times I would have liked to have some physical support while walking. I'm sure if I would have asked, they would have gladly helped me.
