AHCA finds for LLSC

I knew this was going to happen - Florida Agency for Heathcare Administration sent a letter to me with their findings on Lady Lake Speciality Care in Florida. Here are the findings.

Investigations into your concerns about failing to provide assistance with turning, positioning, and incontinence, providing care and services to prevent the development and/or worsening of pressure sores, over medicating residents to keep them "quiet", assessing a change in condition, and preventing neglect were conducted at this time. Based on observations of care and services provided to current residents, interviews with residents and staff, review of clinical records including your Mother's record from both the facility and the hospital, and other facility documentaion to include facility policies, the facility was found to meet requirements for both the state and federal regulations that govern nursing homes as they relate to your concerns.

Did I expect they would side with me? No, I knew they would say everything is fine at LLSC. I need someone to explain why Mom had blisters, and sores on her back side, why she developed 4 infections and why she was left to sit in her own waste for hours at a time. Why did she get so sick in the 13 days she was there, why wasn't she sent back to the hospital and why did she die! If they think I am going to just accept their findings as fact they are crazy! I am going to any site that will allow me to tell my story - I have been going to sites that request ratings on facilities and I tell how they killed my Mother. I will not stop - I have become obsessed with putting this place out of business. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can get the word out please let me know.
