This is amazing, but true

Hello again

Well today was a day for the history books.

Here's a first. My roommate is in the hospital for something. She calls me and asked me to bring her something. She tells me she is in the AL Hogg building,1st floor. This was the building mom was in, but the 3 Rd floor.

I go there and we were sitting outside. OK the smoking section. And out comes this woman, with a security guard, and tells me that I have to leave, that I am not allowed in the building.

Check this out. There is a memo, that the manager left, before she went on vacation, stating that I, Kris Schmuland, is not allowed in the building

To cool. I rate a memo. That is how disliked I am. And how two faced the managers are. All there niceties were phony

Even though the staff did not have to do a single thing for mom. Once I arrived. Nothing. Except they changed her pad. And even I had to do this many, many times.

I said from the beginning that I am a nice person. But I will do whatever it takes to make sure mom's rights were protected. Whatever it takes. And I did just that.

Yes I needed to go over the managers head sometimes.  But if your not going to get something done, in a reasonable time frame. Then I need to take the next steps.
I did it for my mother's protection.

I have always said that abuse is rampant in care homes and nobody does anything about it.

I know I have mentioned, numerous times, that I have been trying to start a company, well organization, to protect seniors rights and to stop seniors abuse. 

I am a seniors advocate. I have advocated for several seniors over the years. People write me, because of this Blog, and tell me their horror stories, about the abuse their parents went through. 

How they were to afraid to say anything about it, for fear that their parents would be treated poorly. So nothing is ever done. 

People are to afraid to say anything. That is how Fraser Health and all other health care systems work. 

There is protectionism of the staff. The staff can kill the residents and they are not to blame. The nurses complain about the abuse they have to live through. That patients are aggressive

Lets see now. You have an 85 years man/woman, who has Dementia/Alzheimer's. You fill them full of drugs, that should never be given to any senior citizen. Drugs that the FDA has said not to give to seniors, they can give them strokes, heart attacks and kill them. 

The residents are so drugged up,they have no idea what is going on. Then you have staff how are trying to man handle these residents. What do you think is going to happen. The residents are going to react. They are doped up. 

The nurses and other staff want to be able to charge these residents with assault. Really. what about charging the staff with assault, abuse, neglect. and on and on and on.. 

There is never any mention of this in the newspapers or on TV news. No just about the staff wanting to charge patients/residents. 

Our parents are the one's who are suffering. Not the staff. They are paid very well and they go to school for this. Don't you think that this is brought up when they are studying. 

That sometimes patients will react badly to certain medication and they will become aggressive or loud. 

After all they chose this type of work. To work with the elderly. And when this is your chosen profession. You know that this is going to happen and you need to learn how to deal with each situation as it arises. 

These are people with Alzheimer's and Dementia. They have lost a great part of their lives. They don't remember who they are or even their children. 

Just think of how they feel. don't you think that they are in pain, emotionally,physically , psychologically. 

I do know how they feel, I have seen it, over and over again. What happens to one who suffers from this horrible disease. It is not nice, to say the least. 

They don't do any research on current treatments. How music is a cure to calm any and all of our seniors down. It just works. I have spent many a year doing research on this exact subject. 

They are not there to help the residents, to treat them. They are only there to maintain them. And when they think. The word is "They" it is time for the resident to die, they do everything to help that along. After all someone who is really sick, takes up to much time. 

This was exactly the case with my mother. The day staff was to feed my mother thickened water every 5 minutes. I would get there in the early afternoon and they had not even given her anything to eat or drink. This was when mom was ill a few months before she passed away. 

I know it was Al Hogg's staff that killed my  mother. The nurses. I said mom was sick and they did nothing about it for a month. Again, it was not until I threatened to take mom to emergency, that the they nurses had the doctor check her out. 

So a month goes by and mom is just getting worse. Oh there is nothing wrong with her. Her temperature is fine. I say, she doesn't have to have a temperature to be sick and she didn't have one. 

Mom had a bladder infection that was caught to late and it took it's toll out on mom. Which as we know, killed her. 

This is how much they listen. I tell them not to ever give mom morphine, never. When I was not there they did it anyways. I tell them that giving mom morphine will kill her. And it did. 

Yes I am guilty that I didn't do something sooner. But I believe it was the negligence of the staff that killed mom. By disregarding my direct orders. 

I could go on and on about this. And I will again. But I have to concentrate on giving mom a memorial service. To get that done. Then I will be back at it.

And this being done, when I have not even been near the place or even though of going to Al Hogg any time soon. I was going to wait a good 6 months and then approach the management about a reading program. I guess that is not going to happen. 

I also want to tell you more about mom's life, through the ten years, she lived with this disease. As well as strokes. 

I have to ask again, to please donate to my campaign. So I can give mom and proper memorial service. I will deal with the other issue another time. Giving mom this the most important thing right now. 

Just $5.00, $10.00 dollars is all I ask of you. I will put your name up on a board at the memorial service saying that if it were not for these people, none of this would of happened. Or even on the cards that are given to all who come to the service. I will have it printed on them. So all who come, know who help put this together.
