Excuse me for not writing sooner, but I have been preparing for a meeting with staff of AL Hogg and my mother's case manager from the PGT.
This meeting acording to the PGT is to deal with communication. This is further from the truth than anyone could say.
It is about abuse, taking away from my mother.
One example. The hand blender broke, so I cannot make smoothies for my mother at the moment.. I ask for assistance with this, a proper blender. NO ANSWER FROM THE PGT. They want me to go through AL Hogg, So I ask the manger to make the request for me.
First of all she tells me that this is not for them to be making decisions on. She is not my mother and does not control my mother's funds. (The manager of Al Hogg is who I am writing about now.) But the manager does it anyways. We get along very well.
Still no answer from the PGT.
Then I receive a letter from the supervisor CK. Telling me that we had this discussion in previous emails where all requests need to go through Al Hogg.
But it did!
To lazy to read the emails or it is the case manager who neglected to inform the supervisor that this happened.
So mom is now going without thanks to the PGT. This is ABUSE. This is the definition of ABUSE. To deny access to................
The meeting is this Wednesday.
She writes me and tells me that I should come into this meeting with an open mind.
I have been writing about the abuse at the hands of the PGT for over 7 years now. And nothing has changed.
Now I have to deal with a case manager who is a bigot, is completely discriminatory in her dealing with me.
According to KB I am lessor of a person because I don't work.
Though I am taking care of my mother every single day and have been for many, many years. Sure I don't get paid to do this. But I should not be. It is my job to look after my mother as she took care of me.
This first email is about the meeting and the threats that are being made. To take away from what my mother is currently getting. ABUSE
And most of what is to be discussed is of no concern of the PGT They cannot get involved in the care of my mother. They do not make any decision on this matter. and cannot.
The second email is a response and further threats.
This case manage is trying to use the PGT and her position to circumvent my decisions when it comes to my mother.
The PGT just doesn't get it. I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE PGT! At all ................... I will do whatever it takes to stop them from abusing my mother.
Since I am poor I am considered indigent and can file any and all the court papers I want for free. FREE!
CK the supervisor whats me to come into the meeting with an open mind. I have dealt with the PGT for over a decade and have seen the abuse. Not to mention the dozens of letters I have received with complaints about the PGT.
Mad, yes I am very mad.
Read the emails below. Really read them. Read between the lines.
Hi Kris,
We have been discussing the meeting at the facility today and what we would think would be the points of discussion regarding your mother’s care. We don’t have a formal agenda but you can expect that the following issues will be discussed:
Care Team issues/concerns
Family issues/concerns
Requests for funds for your mother’s needs- direct billing to suppliers, allowances that are currently being provided and what needs to be adjusted
Modified Clothing needs
Feeding issues- what is appropriate, swallowing issues, what the facility provides, any additional issues that the care team staff may have
Current needs of your mother and who will be providing for these – facility vs family
Anticipated needs of your mother in the future
These are the issues that we would like discussed on our end. Please note I have put in both the Care Team’s issues and the family issues on the list but I don’t know the specifics of what you will be wanting to discuss and what the care team may want to talk about.
My staff is not going to consider any further requests before the meeting. I thought that we had been clear in my previous email that these would need to come to our office through the facility. The request that you have made for a blender can be discussed at the meeting. Approval for this would need to come through the care team as it directly relates to the swallowing issues that your mother has and what they think is appropriate for your mother at this time.
As I indicated in my last email to you as well, the meeting will result in some changes being made about who is providing what for your mother and this may result in a change to the funds that are being provided to you. This is part of the discussion that my staff will want to explore with both you and the care team at the meeting.
Email #2
It’s unfortunate that you feel that the meeting isn’t about your mother and is about you. You are not the focus of the meeting the current and future needs of your mother is what is being discussed. As you have been intimately involved in providing things for your mother the discussion may impact going forward but again, this is directly related to your mother’s needs.
We are still planning to have a productive meeting at the facility with you and your mother’s care team. And we hope that you will come to the discussion table with an open mind. There will be some changes but what these changes will be is what we will discuss next week.
Please pray that GOD stands beside me through out this meeting.
GOD bless and good night.
Kris Schmuland
