Calvary Hospital - Brooklyn Campus — Local services in New York

Brooklyn Calvary Failed my family. My selected star 1 really means that Calvary Hospital receives no rating just a review of disappointment, hurt and pain. I feel the need to share that my sister at the age of 42years old was admitted to Calvary Hospice and the hospital, nurses, doctors, liasion and social workers failed my family and I twice in one week all due to the facility lack of care and communication. Exactly one week from today November 18, 2018 my sister passed away in the non-caring end of life Calvary Hospital. First the Calvary hospital discharged my sister from their Brooklyn facility disregarding her understanding as to what was the doctors plan would be in regards to her healthcare as well as being insensitive in contacting me her sister and healthcare proxy.Therefore, due to a lack of communication Calvary tried to send my sister to there Bronx facility. After I refused and spoke with the staff at the hospital my sister was readmitted to the Brooklyn facility. On November 16, I spoke with the head nurse at Calvary and I stated no matter what time it is, even if it is 2am in the morning, if you are concerned or question my sister's health please call me. On Sunday November 18, 2018 the first thing that morning I did was pack cleaning wipes and a head scarf for my sister. Upon my arrival at 10:05am I walked into the Calvary hospital to see that my sister bedroom door was closed. When I walked in my sister was unresponsive and not breathing. I ran out the room where I saw a nurse and I screamed my sister is not responding where is the doctor and the nurse said my sister passed away at 10am and I said why didn't anyone call me and the nurse said the doctor was not finish doing his rounds. Then she said maybe someone called me but no one called me. Then the nurse told my mother and older sister later when they came that the hospital did not call me because they knew I wad coming, all sorts of lies were said. The truth is my sister passed away and Calvary Hospital did not care and did not call me. My sister died alone by herself and she told me she wanted me to be there when she passes away. The nurse said they took her vitals and then she must have passed away but obviously the staff knows and did not care to tell me anything and instead just decided to close the door as if my sister was another closed case. Calvary again failed me except this time there is no going back. I was not there for my sister and I will have to live with this hurt, pain and emptiness for as long as I live. Please do not let your love one(s) go to the Calvary facility. Don't let social workers try to discourage you in caring for a loved one at home if possible. I will live with this regret for the rest of my life. I apologized to my sister and God for not being there for her. I look at my 17 year niece who now is mother less and my heart hurts for her. I look at my mother who has lost a daughter and my heart hurts for her because she was not there to read my sister favorite Psalm 23 as she took her last breath. I look at myself who has lost my sister and my heart hurts especially for allowing her to be in such a non-caring facility and passing away all alone with no one to hold her hand. I hate that I gave Calvary Hospial a second chance after seeing there lack of compassion and communication. I will never know if I will be forgiven. My message to Calvary staff is if you don't have respect and care, then change your occupation because such a position requires respect and care which my family and I did not receive. Brooklyn Calvary Hospital...

Very disappointed especially people talk so highly of this place. My sister died this pass week in this hospice. She only spent 20 days before she passed this past week. They were not very comforting or compassion. They say there all for the patient and working with the family I defiantly had no support from anyone working at Calvary not even the social worker Karen. A social worker never contacted me when my sister was transferred to Calvary to welcome my sister and me and if I had any questions or concerns. The nurses were not very re-assuring kind of cold when you asked them a question or asked them when my sister needed her medication. Just a very cold place feeling and I believe now after reading some of these reviews my sister died quicker because I put her in this place gods knows what they did... I will forever regret I put her here. And BTW there is an Asian guy that works there I walked in one day last week and so my sister was really looking back and declining and was told well it is what it is like I know the patients are there to die but have some compassion she was my sister. It been 3 days not one person called including the social worker since my sister passed away there to at least send there condolences....The only people there that had compassion was the Priest and the Rabbi that you could talk too. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVE ONE HERE THEY DID NOT CARE FOR MY SISTER THE WAY SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARED FOR EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS DYING FROM CANCER. And please don't send a answer back stating for me to contact Patient Relations because its too late now she is dead I can't get my sister back...... JUST A HORRIBLE PLACE TO PUT YOUR LOVE ONE IN!!! THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE DECIENT TO CONTACT ME AFTER THE DOCTOR CALLED ME THAT MORNING THAT MY SISTER PASSED AWAY TO PICK UP MY SISTERS BELONGINGS THAT WERE ALL LEFT IN HER ROOM AND IN THE CLOSET AND I HAD BROUGHT HER A SPECIAL GIFT THAT WAS ON HER LITTLE TABLE NEXT TO HER BED WHAT DOES THAT SPEAK FOR THEY CAN THROW IT OUT WHICH THEY PROBABLY DID IF THEY DID NOT HAVE ME...

Long over due review. My dad was told there was nothing they could do for him anymore at NYU Langone stage 4 colon rectal cancer. This was amid high spikes of Covid. They suggested we place him in Calvary to be at peace and stay the rest of his days. Social worker tried a week later to get us to take him home and kept on contacting us to do so but we refused for the fact that it was among Covid and medical attention for him would not be available so readily if anything happened to him in the home. That was one issue I had with this place they prob wanted to free up the rooms for Covid patients. Second issue my mom had fallen sick to Covid and was quarantining for a week surprise within that week my dad passed away. I believe foul play and a spike in pain meds leading him to pass away. So yes don’t send your loved one to this place or if you do make sure to go everyday and check up on them and make sure to see what state there in. Thirdly when he did pass away they basically forced us to have the funeral home pick him up same day because they had no room in there fridge. Get it amongst Covid but have a heart for the mourning. Please make sure you keep on top of this place as your loved one is just another number who they are waiting for there number to be up or speed it along. Nothing is natural or by will of God at this place I believe. RIP dad we don’t know how you passed and we didn’t have a chance to see you...
