Sophia Mas from Stewart-Marchman ACT called me and said that she would call Elder Care to see why mom was not on a waiting list. She also told me she would check on mom’s eyeglasses. My sister and I were concerned because mom is basically blind as a bat without them, and if she didn’t […]
I sent the following email to Sophia Mas at Stewart-Marchman: Dear Sophia, I spoke with both the Elder Help Line at (888) 242-4464 and C.A.R.E.S. at (386) 238-4946 and neither one of them has any record at all of my mother. I spoke with a woman named Linda at C.A.R.E.S. and a woman named Deborah […]
I sent the following email to Judy Martin at Hampton Manor. For a few days she seemed to be very caring and interested in helping, and then she simply completely stopped responding to phone calls or emails. Dear Judy, Thank you for the information and for continuing to help me help my mother. I spoke […]
I called the Elder Help Line at ElderSource at (888) 242-4464 in an attempt to have mom placed on a wait list for an “assisted living waiver”. I spoke with Deborah who said that this was, “confusing.” She said C.A.R.E.S. needs to do an assessment before ElderSource can add mom to any wait list. So […]
I called C.A.R.E.S. at (386) 238-4946 and talked to Linda in the Department of Elder Affairs. She said there are two wait list programs, but mom is only eligible for one of them because of her age, and that she needs “assisted living assistance”.
Judy Martin <Judy.Martin@HamptonManor.net> send me this email with the subject line “telephone # for CARES”: 386-238-4946. Good luck David. Hope this will have a good outcome so we can consider placement here at Hampton Manor for your mom.
A discharge coordinator, Rodney Curtis, called me from Halifax Hospital. He said that he called “a few other” ALFs but that he keeps “encountering the same resistance” when trying to find a place where mom can go because of concerns about paying for her prescriptions. Shady Oaks was one of the places he called. Rodney […]
I called the rec room number at Stewart-Marchman in an attempt to talk to mom. A crazed man answered the phone and started immediately ranting about how he was being held against his will “in this shithole.” I hung up and called the number for the nurses station. A man with a very heavy Eastern […]
Sophia Mas from Stewart-Marchman called to tell me that mom had received another card from me in the mail. I asked Sophia if she liked it, and she told me that it was hard to tell because she didn’t seem to be aware of anything, and that when she tried to get her to read […]
