This facility has their telephone number listed incorrectly on the Internet and on their documents given to their patients upon release. On their website their telephone number including the area code is correct. However, if you google the facility the Internet gives the number with a “310” area code instead of the “562” area code that actually belongs to them. Additionally, this hospital was giving out old emergency room release forms to patients they released from the hospital with the “310” area code instead of changing the form or crossing out the old number and replacing it with the new “562” area code. This telephone number with the “310” area code and same main 7 numbers as the hospital happens to be my cell phone number. This has been my cell phone number for over 13 years! So I have been getting telephone calls from patients, their family and other entities associated with the hospital for this many years or more. You can imagine my frustration and that of those trying to reach their loved ones who were or are being cared for at this hospital. I have filed compliant after compliant to no avail. Next, I will take legal action for the strife this has caused my myself and my family receiving so many calls over the years. I now am asking for the hospital to pay my cell phone bill dating back to these 13 years since they have neglected to resolve this issue after being informed of this error repeatedly.

The nursing staff are all smiles when you walkin or when there is family members around during visiting hours, after the visiting hours, then the true racist and neglect comes out, i noticed that there where patients there for months not being seen by any doctors and when the doctors came by it was just to look for about 5 minutes late at night, most of the staff could not even really speak english. This was my first time in a hospital for more then a day and i would not ever go back to that location, i worn all americans in the southern california area. Do not send your family members to norwalk community hospital or los angeles community hospital on bloom-field, i even contacted the director of nurses marget and never received a call back it should be a federal crime the way they treat there patients… I asked one of the nurses how long had she been in the states and she replied about a year. This message is to all americans. Do not send your family members or your self to that facility. It is hell on earth and the funny thing is that all the patients that sit in the beds for months at a time are being taken care of by the tax payers. Because of the medicare. The doctors wanted the patients to stay as long as they could keep them so money could be made from the bed. Its just a little wierd that the whole nursing staff was of asian or from the philippines. And this is the first time i seen racism directly in my face. This is america and im american and should be treated that way, what if americans started discriminating against asians that couldn”t speak proper english.
