Garden City Hospital Hospital

I would come here!

I have poor ratings for Garden City Hospital. I think they are over booked, understaffed, their patient ratio is 8 to 1. You cannot give good care and be in 8 places at the same time with only 1 aide helping you! They didn't bathe me, make sure I had plenty of ice and water; I had to ask for my sheets to be changed after they were soaked in blood for 2 days. They did not come in and clean my room daily. When you needed something it might be a few minutes before they came to see what you needed, but it was over an hour when they returned, (empty handed) asking what it was you needed. I had only one good quality nurse named George! The rest need to go back to school for basic skills.

I have to say once again GCH staff showed how compassionate, caring, and attentive they were to my needs. I never had to wait for anything that I requested. Thank you GCH staff for a job well done. Lillian Alexander

The Drs. were terrific but the nursing staff not so much so. The first time you would meet a nurse she was nice the second time it seemed they had better things to do. I would have to push the call button because they would let the fluids or pain med iv bags run out and the monitor would be beeping and they would ignore it. Then my last day there they wanted to discharge me in the morning and I told them I did not have a ride until 4 pm well you would think this was the worst inconvience to them. The one nurse of duty said at least 10 times when is room 6b going home. I felt like saying hey just give me my walking papers and I will wait down in the lobby if its so inconvient to you. Rude and they did not want to do any work after there first rounds. The could do with alot less nurses if they had ones that cared. I will not be going back to gardencity hospital because of the nursing staff

The people there were very friendly (for the most part). I did have issues with the amount of time it took someone to respond to me. Luckily, I had a family member with me pretty much at all times.

I would not recomend this hospital. very dirty no one cleaned or changed my sheets they did bring me wash cloths and new dresses daily so i could wash myself.The staff had to empty my roommate cath bag and left pee dripping in the bathroom.i had my cath taken out the first day so going to the bath room was just nasty

This is a new experience for them and they are handling it quite well.

The nursing staff has something to be desired. My first night after surgery was good but after that it went down hill. The day after surgery I asked to get up and walk at 11am. The nurse said ok and she would be with me in a min. Well that min turned into an hour so I asked again and was told just a min. That min turned into another hour. Finally at 3pm I asked and was able to get someone in there to get me up and walking. My IV had been empty for 2 hours and was beeping and I couldn't even get someone in to change the bag. The second night in the hospital I woke in pain so called the nurse she told me to push my button and I told her I did and it didn't help. She checked out my epidural and said it was fine and gave me a morphine shot through the IV. Nothing was relieving the pain so she just said it was probably gas and I needed to walk. When the day shift came on I told Pat my nurse about what had been happening and she checked my epidural and it was not even in and checked my IV site and the IV site was blown. By then my pain was at a 10+. She contacted the doctor and got orders to give me oral morphine and then diluded injections. Thanks Pat for taking such good care. By the next morning I was feeling fine and my pain level was down to a 3-4. Other than the nursing staff I had a good experience with Garden City.

The staff was caring, sometimes it took awhile for the nurse to answer the call light. The staff on the midnight shift were great

The staff was extremely nice, caring and very professional. The people dealing with the bariatric patients were very caring and helpful.
