My father was put in a nursing home and was seriously abused . He lost eighteen and a half pounds in 5 weeks.

I was arrested because I was to be added to the sponsor list and the administrator refused. My mom had been walking to that nursing home everyday (she does not drive) because she realized my dad was not being fed, and they would not feed him. I informed the adm several times that it was not my moms job to feed my dad, yet that was the only way he got fed. I notified state and this complaint was validated. My dad gained the weieht back after several weeks, there was no disease process that made him lose weight, he did not have problems chewing and swallowing.Nor did he choke when fed. As a former nurse, I worked only in Nursing homes and I know how most staff hate to feed these people. It is unbeleiveable what happens in Nursing homes. This occured In Brewton, Alabama Westgate Village and I have no problem using their name. I was arrested for disorderly conduct (cursing), but that too is a lie. I had the right to curse them but I was going to get them legally.

My question is what to do? The Dept of Public Health did nohing to punish this nursing home. My father has contractures, which he did not have when admitted. This too is a form of neglect. I am not the power of attorney and I have no power to move him. I have 11 siblings. The dept of public healt is suppose to police these nursing homes and they are not doing their jobs. They blocked my number so that I could no longer call, this is all small time politics and the state not caring.My dad does not deserve this and it will not end until I am satified that justice is done. I have taken care of other peoples families and my dad starves in a nursing home.This will go to a higher court and if I lose, it will go higher. As for my siblings, my dad sent 8 of his twelve chilren to colleges and he was a pig farmer. He made them what they are and they do not care. I have a great dad and I do not mind going to jail for him. Get a copy of ladies home journal 2006.,2 articles informative.

Take him out of there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and take pictures collect evidence and contact a lawyer, you need to have good proof, witnesses and if even better get a recorded confession. and do what you can,.

very good luck to you, we deffinetily cannot throw them away. Report It

what's your question?

talk to a cassemanger

I think you should have your father with you and your mom together, that is the only way you can assure your father is ok

make a silent investigation, research that nursing home, are you 100% sure that your father doesnt meet the needs that he must get? if you know someone that experience the same thing I think that was the time that you can make a complain..
