The Drake Center

Nice facility. Appalling staff. My mother had lung cancer and was in Drake inpatient hospice care for about a week. She wanted to come home, Drake said they strongly advised against it. When my mother insisted on coming home, and granted she could get very mean at the end, the nurses told her I said I didn’t want her to come home.
The doctor who talked to my husband, brother and me also told her, in front of us, «Your children do not want you to come home», after we had told him we needed to get a hospital bed and potty chair before we could bring her home. I was disgusted by this, and my mother never let that go, believing we did not want her home. She died feeling like a burden because the doctor became exasperated trying to convince her to stay, she (meanly) insisted on going home, and Dr decided to throw us under the bus to convince her to stay.

They treat my grandson well.
