Release Of Liability Nursing Facility: Fill & Download for Free

My mother is paranoid schizophrenia. When she is medicated she is just fine and a zombie. My step-father is a lot older than she is and has been her caregiver. She recently overdosed him. He was rushed to the doctor and his family will not release him back to her. He is 76 and she is 65. I am the only family she has left (her daughter) I have called adult parent services on her being home alone and adult protection services informed me that there is nothing they can do since I am going by each day to check on her. I was able to notice she was not acting herself on a daily base. She has been blowing up my cell phone everyday about twenty times a day. Keep in mind I have been dealing with this for about two weeks now. I went to talk to a nursing home, but no one can except her due to her metal background without a level II inspection.My brother-in-law called the cops to do a welfare check on her. After the cops left she got real depressed. I could tell that she was not the same. As a child I remember some of the stages. My father raised me, so I did not see it as much. My parents divorced when I was ten. My thoughts were out of sight, out of mind, I did not visit much. This is highly genetic, so I did not want to have my head that I could be like this one day nor would my father let me visit. She was now the manic stage at his point. The next stage would be hostile. While at work I start getting crazy calls stating that "I am psychic and can tell the future." along with singing and crying. I let my co-workers hear the voicemail's of what I am having to deal with. They inform to call the cops due to her hurting herself. Keep in mind that about two years ago she thought her husband (my step-father) killed someone, because she found ketchup in the kitchen. When the cops came to check on her she attacked them with scissors. The same cop that had gotten attacked several years ago is the one that got my call that day and did not want to go check on her.The cops went to check on her and she seem to be okay at the moment. He said he knew that he would be back in a few days. The cop said he knew the next stage was hostile. I did not know what the next step would be, this lady is talking crazy and I can get help from the state, the cops nor the hospital. I thought I was going to lose it. In the back of my mind I keep thinking I can't deal with this the rest of my life. I prayed to God asking him why? Give me patience. An angel that is a nurse ended helping me to get her to the hospital. We live in a small rural area and the hospital is not set up for mental patience's. They ended up discharging her stating she was okay. I don't think they wanted to deal with her and the liability issues. They happen to give her their phone number and she started to call them directly saying crazy things, that morning they had a referral to have her committed. The hospital wanted us to drive her to the next larger city. I had informed them that she was known to jump out of moving vehicle. Not knowing if she would grab the wheel and cause a wreck. The hospital had not dealt with a mental person before and I tried to warn them that it could turn ugly. At this point I have been trying to get her into a nursing facility.I don't think people understand the stress that it can cause on family members and friends or even your own marriage. I will have to deal with her the rest of my life. She will say means things, pointing out all your flaws. You want to go off, but you have to remember that she is not all there. I got a call today from her and she was very upset that I have not brought her nicotine lozenges. She been going through them like candy. I informed her that I could not bring them until Friday being Monday. She went off the rocker saying she was going to start yelling while the nurses where there. I tried to claim her down telling her that I can't take off work just when she wants me to. She started singing do what you got to do.I guess the moral of the story is the state takes forever to get anything done. It is almost like a child in DHS custody, you keep calling for help, but you can't get any help until it to late. The state does not want to keep them due to financial reasons. I recommend giving the direct line to the doctors office to the patient. Let the doctors office be the ones to get the calls they can get the state to step in. Otherwise they could hurt someone or you may end up hurting someone.

I was a correctional administrator for twelve years at a county jail (9) and at a correctional treatment facility for convicted felons with substance abuse problems. I can only speak for the facilities of which I am familiar. When someone came into our facilities, it was very similar to that of some nursing homes. The inmates/residents moved from their former primary care physician to the care of the facility physician. That physician would evaluate the medications and conditions of the individuals and determine which were medically necessary and which were not and would prescribe medications based on a formulary that included generic equivalents when available. About 80 percent of our jail inmates and nearly 100% of our correctional treatment residents were incarcerated for drug-related offenses. Hence, many were pill-seeking and tried repeatedly to get the resident doctors to prescribe medications for them for all sorts of “conditions”, many for which the general public would not take medications. If they brought medications with them that were in their regular prescription bottles, they were kept secured in the infirmary until such time as they were convicted and transferred to another facility, or released. The meds either followed them to the new facility or were given to them upon release unless doing so violated their court-issued conditions of release. We did not throw any medications away unless they were not in their original prescription bottles. They were generally not allowed to take medications they brought in with them due to liability concerns. We ordered the prescriptions from the jail medical provider to ensure the safety of the inmates. I am not aware of any cases ever where essential medications (heart or diabetic meds, or meds to control psychiatric conditions for example) were ever denied for a prisoner. With that said, if a person is pill/drug-seeking even acetaminophen may seem like an essential medication. I speak only of medications that are medically necessary for life-threatening conditions (infections, heart, diabetes, etc.) No administrator I know wants a wrongful death or serious injury lawsuit for denying essential medical care to anyone. There may be places where this occurs but I do not have any personal knowledge of any. We were strictly and annually audited on how we medically cared for offenders in our custody.

I don’t think there will be. There should be for the purpose of doing better. This should not be so that the lawyers can sue anyone. This is the really big problem hiding behind the lockdown. It was a method of avoiding liability because anyone who caught the disease or claimed they did at a business could sue. This liability monster needs run out of town.An example of medical protocols that were wrong is ventilators. The terms and indications for their use has been greatly changed. There were no “protocols” applicable to treatment with drugs the COVID-19 set of symptoms. In fact there was very poor definition of what signs and symptoms COVID-19 had. As such doctors sort of had to throw the kitchen sink at the symptoms. It took a while before the symptoms became well enough understood to match drugs to the symptoms well. How we adapted and what worked well needs to be discussed.YOUTUBE needs pillaried for their misbehavior here. They are a principal media platform for the transfer of information here. They acted as gatekeeper on ideas. This did a very awful job on the matters. They took down reports by MD’s on the matter that “disagreed” with WHO. WHO was a criminal entity in this matter and franky if anyone deserved takedown in this matter it was WHO. Now that things have developed the doctors they took down were right! These actions of Youtube were criminal. They greatly inhibited the needed timely transfer of information in this topic area.We need a very tall review into the very concept of Lockdown. I know I have taken a lot of heat over lockdown and my opposition which was the whole time against it. Lockdown was dangerous, counterproductive and unlawful. We should never have done it. The facts are in now on this matter and we should never again do this insane practice.There needs to be a very profound review of the role of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Protocols need to be developed to prevent the dumping of infected persons into these facilities.There needs to be a top to bottom review of hygiene and cleaning in hospitals. It needs to involve dealing with everything.There needs to be a very profound review of the process that released a bunch of hit papers against Hydroxychloroquine trying to take it out and support drugs like Remdesivir. This was criminal in manipulation of stocks and also of medical treatment. (Dr Fauci was a participant here)There needs to be a very profound review of what the press did in this matter as they are responsible for supporting and encouraging the conditions that caused 65% of the deaths in the USA from COVID-19. Their political wrangling endangered lives.There needs to be a profound review of Cruise Ships and Airlines and their role in endangering people with their awful hygiene practices.There needs to be a review of public school curriculum so as to develop habits of hygiene for life. The teachers need to adopt this matter as a high priority.
