    My mother was admitted to Care-Age of Brookfield following her stay at a hospital where she was treated for severe bullous pemphigoid.The intention behind her stay at Care-Age was to use this space for physical therapy; seeing as she had spent so much time in bed, her muscles were incredibly weak and she required occupational therapy and physical therapy to restore her mobility.My siblings and I believed that this stay at Care-Age would be short, but we soon began to notice a decline in our mom's health:where she had been able to get herself out of bed and walk to the bathroom, now she required a wheelchair and nurse aiding her in using the facilities.She felt fatigued all the time, was often confused and“loopy”, and had trouble emptying her bladder.She was so weak that she fell three times while attempting to use the bathroom.We were informed by Mom's case manager that Mom had been taken off of the steroid prednisone (a drug she had been on to treat her bullous pemphigoid) cold turkey rather than gradually.This caused a severe prednisone withdrawal and accounted for the vast majority of her symptoms.The previous hospital gave instructions to take Mom off of prednisone ten days after discharge from their facility. Ten days after her discharge means that Mom went off the steroid around 6/19 and on 6/25 my mom fell in the bathroom for the first time because she was too weak to stand.This is where we began to realize that something was wrong; this was part of the withdrawal symptoms.The only reason we really knew about the prednisone withdrawal at all is because Mom's dermatologist noticed it and ordered her to be put back on the steroid. At the end of the day, this is the responsibility of Care-Age. How could anyone on the staff allow my mother to go off prednisone cold turkey?This is not some mysterious drug, unknown to the medical world. This is a common steroid and the staff should have known better. I will actively be telling people to stay away from this place.

Care-Age of Brookfield is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.
