"Horrifying Assisted Living Facility Negligence Ends in Tragedy"

This is the kind of place you choose if you've given up on life. My spouse was admitted on a Wednesday afternoon, lucid but both of us needing a break. The admission process took over an hour - costing $150 - only to gather both medical and personal history. The person doing the interview hardly spoke clear English. On Thursday, they had given him three different medications - haldol, morphine, and valium - without bothering to call us when he became restless and wanted to leave. Before this, he had never even taken an aspirin. The drug dosage they administered was too much, causing him to lose consciousness and never wake up again. I seriously question if they provided him with even a drink of water or any meals during the 39 hours he stayed there. Yet, they charged for five full days. On Thursday, we sat for over eight hours and nobody came to offer any care. This depressing place costs $500 per day, with a five day minimum charge regardless of the time spent. Enquiries should be made...this place isn't about creating a nurturing environment, it promotes the opposite.
