Home has a heart

Ed, I’m calling about the headlines today about the Millhouse nursing home patient who was bound with duct tape. I have a family member residing at Millhouse for the past two years, and they can’t be treated any nicer than they are. The staff treats them like family. I know for fact that the man who was taken out with restraints, they did not put the duct tape around him, the two ambulance drivers did so for his own protection. Whatever the law is, it is. But I don’t think it was right, the headline made it look like the nursing home was at fault, and they are not. They couldn’t care more about the residents. Just wanted to tell you.
Happy Child
I’m glad you’ve had a good experience and I hope you’re right, but the state did launch an investigation, and that’s what the headline said.—Ed. Note

Truth or not an investigation is being done. By the way who contacted the police about the incident. Bet they have an even bigger story to tell. The level of service any entity offers is the least of the problems. State guidelines determine if the facility is properly managed and in this case, perhaps it wasn't. There are thousands of these types of facilities that on the service seem properly managed, yet are drowning in violations. One think for sure, they will find out and somebody's head will roll. Someone bound that person up.
