Health Care District of Palm Beach County Lakeside Medical Center - Belle Glade (FL)

1 /5 Willnesha Williams: On March 3, 2025, I brought my stepfather (a past stroke patient) to Lakeside Medical Center upon the discovery that he could not lift his right side like he previously were able to the days prior. He was unable to walk, urinating on himself and cognitively disoriented. After doing vitals they discovered his bp was a little elevated , his heart rate was fast so he was admitted and told me they were doing a ekg & mri which they later said was clear. Its unfortunate , that they never did an neurological  assessment on him despite what he was brought in for and his past history of strokes. He was discharged the next day with a urine bag with nothing to be attached to keep it from unsanitary areas verses one  to his leg, still unable to lift his right side, still cognitively disoriented. Spoke to the doctor, Brandi the floor manager today March 5 about his status since being discharge  they claimed that he refused a leg bag. I was never told this information when I am his direct contact and have a POA . I was only called to say he was ready because he is being discharged. They also then offered home health care for him at home. I was told they did see the weakness to that side. Once I advocated to let them know that’s a sign that something is going on since he was able to function to his norm days prior, I was then told to bring him back in and they will send him to another hospital where a neurologist can evaluate him. To me that is neglect of proper treatment and care when he could’ve been sent out instead of being discharged on March 4, 2025

1 /5 Carolyn Mckenzie: The worst hospital in western Florida. Not enough staff no medical equipment needed to help patients. Patients have to be sent to other hospitals some dont even get to go to another hospital they are sent home to die. One occasion my sister was sick they didnt refer her to another hospital they just hooked her up to IV for a hour or two and sent her home. She called me crying saying they didnt give me nothing to help me. I told her to go somewhere else she did but the doctors said she should of came sooner all times of going to lakeside they didnt even try to suggest that she go to another hospital. To get the proper treatment she needed. She gone now. My brother is facing the same treatment but we are going to make sure he get somewhere else before its to late. Someone need to shut that monstrosity of hospital down or get real professional nurses and doctors on staff and get the right equipment to handle the patient and better Food. Its bad when you call for a nurse and it takes them two hours before they come to your room by that time you experiencing a real emergency in your body all you get is the nurse is coming and no one show up for two to three hours, that is displorable. Think twice before taking your love one there.cbcm

1 /5 Kyrah McClain: This Hospital needs to close down! They are no help at all. I got to the hospital at 5 left at 10 with no answers to my problem. The nurses and staff were arguing while I was in the room HURTING unprofessional. They did 3 test on me including taking blood and didn’t tell me not one result on anything! Just came back in the room at 9 and told me I was getting discharged! Worst experience ever! And I do not recommend this wanna be hospital to no one.

1 /5 Robyn Luongo: This excuse of an hospital is not worth the pain they caused my husband!
