Today I had an extremely frustrating and distressing experience while trying to contact my sister, who is a staff member at this facility, during a real emergency. My mother needed to be transferred to the hospital, and I urgently needed to inform my sister and my mom wanted to talk to her. However, despite multiple attempts, my sister was not receiving my calls. I reached out to the receptionist for assistance, Danny, expecting they could help me connect with her. Unfortunately, the response I received was highly unprofessional and dismissive. The receptionist attempted to transfer my call to two different wards but later refused to continue assisting, stating, "I can't put you through all the wards." When I explained that it was an emergency and asked how I could contact my sister, she casually responded, "Just walk in and find out." This is completely unacceptable! How is someone supposed to "walk in" when they are already dealing with an emergency situation? It was shocking to see how little care was given to the situation. The facility did not seem to know where their staff members were working, and no one was willing to assist in locating them. If there is an emergency and family members cannot reach their loved ones, what is the point of having a system in place? It is deeply concerning that the staff do not carry their personal phones while on duty, and yet, when an emergency arises, there is no proper protocol for reaching them. When I questioned the receptionist about this serious issue, instead of offering a solution, she blamed me and told me not to "yell at her." This kind of response lacks professionalism, empathy, and basic human decency. For a healthcare facility, where urgent situations can arise at any time, this kind of carelessness is inexcusable. There needs to be a clear and efficient system where staff can be reached during emergencies. Receptionists should be trained to handle such situations with empathy and urgency rather than dismissing concerned family members. I strongly urge the management to implement a transparent and accessible roster for receptionists so that they are aware of where staff members are working. No family member should have to experience this level of stress and helplessness when trying to reach their loved ones in a time of crisis. This facility must do better! Still, I could not reach her, they did not care.
