Moses Taylor Hospital Senior Mental Health

My children and I survived two births here, so I suppose that’s a plus, but after attempting to visit a loved one here, I am appalled. In order to get into the building from the parking garage, you must pick up a filthy phone to notify security to allow you in. Security does not take your name or anything, they just press a button to open the door. The garage is literally falling down. There are pieces of concrete all over. The entrance to the hospital is desolate. Nobody to be seen and there are still lines on the floor from Covid. The secretary in the labor ward was extremely rude to me. She would not allow me in to visit, stating only three people could go in the room at a time and you couldn’t switch out people. Fine, but the problem is, she allowed family members to switch all day and allowed 3 people plus the babies father. I guess she decided to change the rules or enforce them. The gift shop is closed, although there are signs for a gift shop. This was once a wonderful hospital, but I can see why so many great doctors have left.

If you get nurse Robin, RUN. She is desperate to be retired. I will never forget the way she treated me. I hired my own lactation consultant because they expected the nurses to do both.

As a first time mother I had more than a million & one questions regarding our newborn baby. Ingrid our charge nurse made our experience here at Moses Taylor hospital more than wonderful. Ingrid was extremely helpful responding to all of my questions, She took the time to give us plenty of tips and tricks to help us along our journey being first time parents. She was extremely attentive & checked in on us often, we enjoyed our time with her as our charge nurse for the day!

Second time delivering at this hospital and delivery and postpartum experience were amazing. Dr.Kolucki is my doctor and made sure I was well taken care of throughout my whole stay. Myra was my postpartum nurse a couple shifts with my first and now second baby and she is hands down the best nurse I’ve ever had! She was there the second I would call, watching my bleeding/clots and even helped me with breastfeeding, she’s absolutely amazing! The negative about this hospital is my doctor sent me here a few days after discharge for elevated blood pressure postpartum, the front desk woman let me sign in and do all the paperwork as I had my newborn baby with me and did not state the baby wouldn’t be allowed back, so when I go to nurse station they tell me my 6 day old baby can’t come with me as she’s exclusively breastfed and has never had a bottle and that I would have to sign an ama at that point to leave. Charge nurse tells me my pressure is too high to feed the baby and that’s not safe and yet compares it to mothers having to leave babies in the nicu all the time and that’s the baby will be fine. They finally allow the baby to come back and say if my blood pressure is too high baby has to leave and I can’t feed her until it comes back lower, my nurse Morgan at this point was an angel and assured me I can feed the baby there’s no reason as to why I can’t unless they have me on magnesium and blood pressure wasn’t high enough for that. The whole situation was handled poorly and if triage room is the problem half the hospital is empty there’s no reason why there can’t be two rooms set aside for postpartum mothers. Or maybe we shouldn’t discharge postpartum mothers with elevated blood pressure without a plan in place to prevent this situation. Breastfeeding was so important to me this time around as my first daughter refused the breast after having a bottle and as a hospital that delivers babies exclusively breastfed babies shouldn’t be denied access 6 days postpartum unless mother is actively on medication such as magnesium or physically cannot care for said baby but that wasn’t the case.

My experience giving birth at this hospital was incredible. From the very beginning, I felt safe, supported, and well cared for by the entire team. The doctors and nurses were extremely attentive, professional, and compassionate throughout the whole process. They made me feel confident and calm during such an important moment. The hospital structure is excellent, very clean, organized, and well prepared to provide comfort and safety for both mother and baby. I am truly grateful for the care I received. Thanks to this amazing team, I was able to experience the birth of my baby feeling safe, confident, and supported.

I delivered at Moses Taylor hospital last week, and wanted to give a shoutout to my care team - nurses Julia, Nicole and Devin were sooooo amazing the entire time. They took the time to answer all our questions and show and teach us as first time parents. Can’t thank them enough l!!

We had a wonderful experience birthing our baby at Moses Taylor hospital. It was way better than my last delivery at another hospital in the area. Moses Taylor’s labor and delivery suite was really big and spacious and had a beautiful window view. The staff was very respectful to my preferences and wishes. The nurses, Dr, and anesthesiologist were all very kind and pleasant. Dr Tomassoni delivered my daughter and she was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised that upon meeting her, she immediately sat down with my birth plan, and discussed what they could accommodate and what they couldn’t do and what my main priorities were. She said my birth plan was very reasonable, and for the most part, they accommodated all of the things that really mattered to me! I don’t think the doctors or nurses at the last hospital ever even looked at my birth plan so I was pleasantly surprised. Our labor nurse Dina was so helpful! We loved her. Very attentive and sweet. Jerome (I think) gave me an amazing epidural with no after birth side effects. He was very professional and super friendly. Morgan the labor nurse helping him was also so sweet and I wish she could have stayed to take care of me but it was the end of her shift. Dina was on next and she was fabulous! Our postpartum nurse, Karen was also amazing and very attentive to all of my needs. All these staff members treated my husband and me so well and with respect. There was only one labor nurse that we had an issue with who did not respect my birth plan and was super pushy. My only major complaint is that I never got to see the hospital’s lactation consultant during my whole stay because they only have one and she’s off on the weekend and I had my baby on Friday close to midnight and we left on Sunday evening. Breastfeeding was really important to me but I needed a lot of guidance. I had met with Kathy before I had the baby and expressed how important breast-feeding was to me, and she had told me that she would be able to be there and help me but I never knew that she didn’t work weekends. Luckily I had an independent LC working with me who came to the hospital to help teach me and baby what to do but I think every woman should have access to a lactation consultant when in the hospital. It’s such an important resource to have when feeding your baby is so crucial to their livelihood and gaining weight. I thought it was such a shame that I never saw the LC the whole time I was at the hospital. I hope Moses Taylor considers hiring one more lactation consultant because mothers like me really really need them! That’s the only reason I can’t give them 5 stars. Other than that we had a wonderful delivery and stay at Moses Taylor hospital and I would recommend the hospital to my pregnant friends.

My time with Dr. Bertha was most satisfactory. However, I had a severe allergy attack from my prolonged waiting time in the waiting room. I am extremely allergic to dust and rugs.
