My husband was sent to Sinai from Good Sam hospital to gain back his strength after a severe bout of copd exacerbation. He has severe copd and retains co2 which can kill him by going into a coma. He gets very disorented and has memory loss. He is in dire need of his Bipap vent which he uses every night at home. I went in to see him the day after Thanksgiving and noticed he could barely breathe. No one was providing any treatment from respiratory. I was so upset that i wanted to take him out of there. I was told by the nurse john refused the bipap the night before which i find hard to believe. He has never refused before. Usually a very compliant patient. But even if he had refused the staff should have discussed with me or gotten a doctor to help get the bipap on him. which by the way i never saw of heard from in the 4 or 5 days he was there. Dont even know if they exist. Ended up going back to Good Sam where he was dying and had to be intubated. He is now off intubation but is now worse than before. Full of fluid and on higher full time oxygen. Not enough staff to monitor day and night at Sinai. So many sad stories about aftercare from hospitals for most rehabs not just Sinai. Our country needs to do something about ins companies rushing patients out if hospitals when not ready. Rehabs understaffed and often cannot provide intense aftercare a patient needs. Havent found a decent one for him to go to yet. He survived fighting in Vietnam but looks like he cannot survive our healthcare system. Discouraged, disgusted and mad!

Horrible. My aunt had been hospitalized since August. After months of being in the hospital she was finally moved to Sinai. I was skeptical about her going there after I looked it up and I saw all the negative reviews about this place. My aunt was improving health wise before she came here. She was there for LESS THAN A WEEK. Suddenly 2 nights ago, we get a call that she was having breathing problems and had to be rushed to a hospital. She passed away last night. What the hell went wrong so fast in this place? I feel as though had she never been moved here she would still be alive. How is this establishment even still opened with their bad reputation ? I don''t get it.
