One of the aids came fllying up to me in the hallway and grabbed a pamphlet ouf of my hands and screamed, "Oh NO...I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU MAKE HIM SIGN HIS MONEY OVER TO YOU!"
I was sitting with a friend who lived in assisted living there. I was in independent living at the time. I can only assume that the Lodge allowed a rumor to circulate that I was after his money. Never was this true. We had become friends and he needed help because his power of attorney was not taking care of his needs. He asked me to help him. In retrospect I guess I shouldn't have gotten involved, but I didn't know/realize that his family and the Lodge staff would turn on me. My intentions were honorable....This rumor should have been stopped by the DON.
I stood up and tried to get my pamphlet back (it was information on power of attorneys for healthcare....it was NOT anything for him to sign.
Thie entire situation was very much mishandled. They handcuffed me and sent me to jail for the night.....saying I was guilty of "physica laggression, and an attempt to cause harm to the aid.". Then when I returned to the facility, Crystal Flaherty DON came to my door with an eviction notice that gave me 24 hours to leave.
This entire situation has cost me a lot of money (I have had to move twice). And I was to get on medicaid waiver after paying full price for two years....but the eviction happened just prior to the two year mark.
I tried to discuss this with Edward Beatrice COO, but I have found that the Lodge employees stick together, and don't want to deal with the truth...he dismissed me. Then recently he sent me a letter telling me not to communicate with anyone at the Lodge and "to refrain from making or spreading false statements about "Caring Place" Wow....talk about the pot calling the kettle black! read more
