I posted this rather negative review of the Elmhurst Rehabilitation & Health Care Center as I am concerned about a friend of mine, Helen Worden of Providence, age 85+ . I spoke to Helen on her room phone last yesterday morning . She voiced no complaints but her voice cracked while saying " I wan't to go home ". I agreed with Helen - who could be famous as Rhode Island's oldest Elvis Presley fan. Earlier last year Helen was heart broken over the loss of her beloved pet cat named " George Elvis ". Helen is the close cousin of my beloved woman companion Dorene Rousseau who passed away on April 15 2017 at the Hope Hospice Center in Providence.
I recall my 89 year old mother's brief stay in a Warwick nursing home. Back home Mom and I both thought : " There is no place like home ".
I tried calling Helen several times a week ago before suspecting something was wrong . Her cousin George called me and gave me the details of Helen's hospitalization and present condition : she is recovering it seems from COVID -19 pneumonia. Yet, she is tough old Polish Catholic and rarely in her long life needed any professional medical attention.
Hope to welcome Helen HOME as soon as possible.
