I am sorry

Dear, Uncle Harry (Pewee),

                             I am sorry I failed to get the justice you deserved but in a world such as ours if you don't have money or fame no one cares what happens to you except for the ones who loved you. It wasn't a big enough story for the news stations to even want to hear about and while for a little while it got a little attention through social media this blog really never went anywhere either. A lot of people file lawsuits in cases like this and I was going to too but than I realized there is not peace in that nor is there justice. You file a lawsuit and they may or may not have to pay financially for what they have done but where is the justice in that no one really takes responsibility for the damage that was caused and the person who files the lawsuit nine times out of ten has to sign a paper saying they can not bad mouth the company or talk about the case which means once again silence and the company once again gets to go about their business like nothing ever happened. Anyway I have gotten off track I truly tried every avenue I could think of to get someone to listen but nothing was done and because so many people cover things up nothing probably will ever come of this. I love you and I am sorry that you had to suffer and die the way you did please forgive me for not being able to stop ManorCare from being able to do this to someone else.


                                                           Love and Miss you
                                                                 Ashly  

No Justice

After almost a year I realized there is no JUSTICE for those like my uncle. No one cares that has the power to do anything they all say it's not my problem talk to this person and this person says talk to that person and so on. My uncle may not have been the best society has to offer but he was a person, a brother, son and uncle to people who loved him. Though the world can write him off and his life meant nothing to anyone it meant something to me.  I guess if he had been rich or a child his story would have made the front pages and people would have taken notice but when you are a homeless man who has nothing you are to the world a nobody. It makes me really disheartened knowing that animals get more recognition when they are being killed then human beings. This place ManorCare is a company which runs facilities such as this in many different states, here in the United States and in many of them people have died of neglect. They died painful slow deaths from infection because of bedsores, they died because of  dehydration  and malnutrition. It's like they lived in a third world country inside one of the richest countries in the world.  Why has it become except-able to treat people this way? When did people choose to look the other way when others are being treated so badly they die? Who can help because the government is failing to do anything about corporations that hurt those they are suppose to care for. How can we make this change? These are all questions I would love to get an answer to!

Slow going

Still working on justice for my uncle, but I seem to be getting nowhere. In the mean time ManorCare continues it's murderous streak about a week ago a young woman entrusted in  their care died from neglect. She said she wasn't feeling well and called for help but no one came and by the morning she was dead. Why on earth can nothing be done to stop this company! First I thought it was just the facility my uncle was in that was this bad but it is not it is the whole ManorCare system people are dying and being seriously injured by these people and nothing is being done. I have reached out to news stations, government officials and nothing. I guess people being neglected to the point of dead is not news worthy or important enough for our news stations or government to care about.

I haven't quit just looking for a new road

I haven't given up on finding justice for you Uncle Peewee I am just trying to find someone to listen. I have tried social media, contacting local and federal government, and I have contacted  news stations. No one will listen they do not care because you were in a nursing home therefore you are a forgotten person. I know if you had been a child then it would be different there would have been a full investigation of the incident and someone would haven been made to pay for what happened to you but because you are a older man not quite a senior you do not matter to the powers that be. I wish I knew what else to do because right now I am at a loss. I did hire a lawyer and she is working to get somethings done but it is taking forever they say justice is blind well I say it is slow and uncaring God help me I won't quit!

To Manor Care

Dear Manor Care,

                               You may have the records fixed so you look like you did everything you can to take care of him but I have the pictures which prove that you didn't and as you know pictures speak a thousand words. I am not going to go away or drop this, to you he was just another number but to me he was my uncle and a beloved family member.  You can rest a sure that I am going to do everything in my power to inform people of the kind of facility that you are and how your staff care nothing for the residents who reside there. I hope everyone of you who have a loved one in this place no matter where it is located takes your family member somewhere else before they are harmed or killed by this greedy corporation. The higher ups in this company care nothing about the residents all they care about is their bottom line. Manor Care it is just a matter of time before your luck runs out and I hope, I am the beginning of that down fall. 

The Day before he passed away 10-19-2013

Have you ever held your breath so long it felt like your lungs were going to explode, or have you ever swallowed to much water choked on it getting that feeling like your never going to be able to catch your breath? Now that you have those images in your mind think about this, this is what my uncle suffered for almost a month of his life caused by the damage to his heart by the infection he suffered which was left untreated until he became septic.

These pictures were taken the day before he passed away. He looks horrible right well I wish I could get the video to load so you could hear what he sounded like. He drowned in the fluid from his lungs, his lungs were so full that he would cough and the fluid would come out of his mouth. Gilchrist Hospice Center did every thing they could to help relieve his suffering by giving him medications to get rid of the fluid but nothing helped for long. My uncle suffered a great deal and it breaks my heart to think the people who caused this will get away with it. It breaks my heart even more to know because nothing is being done, someone else's family will have to deal with the same thing. My uncle is not their first victim and he will not be their last if we do not stand up now for others like my uncle. This company deserves to be shut down and if criminal charges could be pressed against them they should be, I mean if you or I did this to another human being we would be sitting in a prison cell. Why can't the ones who failed to care for him face the same thing?

This Is the quality of care to expect from MANORCARE RUXTON or any for that matter.

His Right Ear bedsore 

These are the pictures I took in the hospital, there are some I could not take out of respect for my uncle like the impression of the bedpan on his butt. No one has the right to treat another human being this way. If you place your loved one in any ManorCare facility be prepared to bury them because they will not live long with treatment like this.
