I Know a Lady Who Runs an Assisted Living Facility in Her House.?
Question by : I know a lady who runs an assisted living facility in her house.?
[rewrite]One of the residents has Parkinson’s disease and the owner has Power of Attorney for the resident. He has no family and has almost no function of is body or is lucid for very long. He doesn’t have much longer to live and has lived in her house as a resident for almost twenty years. I just found out that she has activated many credit cards and has put him in horrible debt, which is illegal. Her son is a teenager and uses and sells drugs which I am sure he has inside the house. She has left them with unqualified caregivers who don’t give medications properly and even one who has abused the residents. One of her residents’ recently passed away and I heard that she had two women who were her other son’s girlfriends watching the residents while she was out of town. The lady had a stroke in the morning and neither of the women who were supposedly watching the residents felt any need to call the owner or for medical help and resident showed visible signs of having a stroke, they left her alone in her room ignored. Is there a way to anonymously report the owner? How would someone go about doing this in the State of Maryland…please help! Thank you

Anyone Who Has Dealt With or Been Effected by Drug Addiction, Will You Please Answer?
Question by ddti: Anyone Who Has Dealt With or Been Effected By Drug Addiction, will you please answer?
[rewrite]I’ll spare you most of the details and get to the question. Brother: Addict, has lost EVERYTHING!! form job, car even 1 week old new born son & girlfriend, who left yesterday!! All because he chooses his addiction over anything & anyone. My question is: Do we leave him at his house (of which is getting evicted of in 3 days) to just let reality hit & Him as an ADULT figure out what he’s going to do?? Or is that wrong should we STILL be trying to be there convincing him to go to rehab. He has been to 4 rehabs and doesn’t seem to WANT help at this point, though I am sure that is the addict talking or thinking, not the TRUE person underneath. ADVICE? 🙁
