I just read the comment by this agency. An absolute lie. My father lives with me now and has for 8 months. There was no "investigation" of me. She has called me an "abuser" to my father? This is astonishing this agency is unbelievable.
Apparently, Senior Helpers, called Adult protective services on me 8 months before my dad came to live with my family. I had no idea that they had called adult protective services until after reading the business managers response to my review today. No one from adult protective services got in touch with me. No officials or police or any protective services contacted me about abusing my father. I made some calls and found out Senior Helpers of Clovis called adult protective services -after- I started reporting to the main office on one of their aides for not cleaning, not wearing their face masks, and walking away from my dads care when I asked them to put on a mask. I should add that same aide reported me to the police for harassment over the phone a month later when we fired Senior Care for neglect. Again, no proof no logged calls nothing I didn't have her personal phone number. Clearly the aide and the Senior Helpers of Clovis had retribution in mind. Their post about my being investigated was wrong and false. I wasn't investigated for anything they just simply reported me to adult protective services based on something one of their aides said. They made their response to my review of their Co. look as though there was some big investigation or my dad was being abused somehow. There was no investigation, at all, except a social worker visiting my dad and when that social worker called I happened to bring my dad lunch and my dad handed the phone over to me to talk to him and there wasn't any mention from the social worker about elder abuse or any interactions I had with my dad. The social worker discussed with me about my dads ability to get around. I called management 4 days ago and the business manger who posted the response refused to come to the phone, just as they initially refused to come to the phone when I called about their untrained aides crushing my dads medicine and giving all his meds crushed at one time. He could have died. After a 3rd phone call a supervisor said "we corrected our mistake." Their aides have no supervision, poor training, and now I discover the company reports family members who are caring for their elderly parents totally based on false accusations that don't even amount to an investigation. The picture below is of my fathers toilet (dated on my phone) when he was in their care. The rest of the small apartment was filthy as well. We are pursuing this libel in court. I might add, read their response, it is clearly ambiguous and meant to mislead: "As part of this advocacy, we were required to file an Adult Protective Services report and name possible abusers of this individual, which sadly include the person who wrote this review." "Possible abusers of this individual." "who sadly include the person who wrote this review." My father had no wounds, no medical check ups for abuse, no pictures taken from them nothing. I should state that no nurses from my dads care team at the VA, who see him twice monthly complained or reported possible abuse, just a couple aides and a Company. Senior Helpers who manufactured this whole thing after I complained about two aides and the horrible condition my dads apartment was in. Me and my family are going to pursue this to its bitter end. I called two days ago to speak with the business office that wrote their response to inform them we're taking them to court for libel and they refuse to come to the phone. They are hiding and they are going to regret saying on a public forum or anywhere that I was abusing my father, outrageous. I love my 93 year old dad/ vet I'm 65 years old and suffer from the worst effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Its difficult for me to care for my dad but I don't want him in a nursing home. He has been with us for 8 months now we don't get paid by the goverment and we don't ask for help except what he has coming to him through the VA.. Senior helpers is and was a complete disaster they were unhappy with my review which they already admitted to the issues that I talked with them about over the phone. read more
