It has become obvious to me that the people in your "care", are nothing more than billing codes and case numbers. I am writing this to let you know that they are more than that to their families and loved ones. They are Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Mothers, Fathers, Aunts, Uncles, Husbands, Wives and friends.
Yesterday I went by my Mothers house, that is being foreclosed on by the bank. The house is empty, due to a fire last January 21. As the administrator of Mom's estate, I am coordinating the repairs, and went by to see what progress was done. The house is completely empty, the contents thrown in a dumpster out front, due to smoke damage. In one bedroom it was strange to see that someone had placed a one piece Nativity on the empty book shelf.
The rest of  the house was cold and empty. My wife and son and I walked from room to room surveying the progress and the existing damage. I cant tell you what was going through their minds, but I was overcome by sadness.
 Then I went into what was the dining room, where we had gathered with the entire family for Christmas, Easter, and other special days over the years. There on the wall, were all the names of the kids in the family, with a line and a date to see how they had grown over the years. It was all I could do to keep it together as I saw my sons name and date by a line that was maybe three feet high, and I looked at him now at close to five feet. I took several pictures of that wall. To all those names Mom was much more than a billing code. She was the center of all of those lives.
All the grandchildren, and great grandchildren , Kenzie was the highest name on the wall, and Clancy was the lowest. Daniel, Aiden, Bradley, Erin, Adam, Kaylee, Lily, each had multiple lines on the wall. Those are the ones that were local, then there is Lee, Ben and Nick in Georgia, and Julia, and Brianna both grown up by the time the wall began.
I'm sure that your nursing homes and staff are responsible for ending more family walls than I can imagine. I hope that all of the people listed in the first line, dream of walls full of names and dates with the little lines, telling the family histories of the people that died in their care. If that were the case, Dr. Larry Joe Russell would never sleep!!

SanStone is at it again. According to a January 12 article in the Hendersonville Times News, they are building a new nursing home in Mills River. Mills River Health and Rehabilitation. From what I can tell, they are replacing the old Beystone Health and Rehabilitation. Beystone is located on the grounds of Fletcher Academy across from Park Ridge Hospital.
All I can say is, something smells a little fishy. According to a previous Times News article, SanStone is partnering with Fletcher Academy in this venture. What does a private High School have to do with a nursing home? Could it be that being partners with a "non profit" high school, provides some sort of tax loophole? That would be my guess.
According to Medicare.gov, Beystone has a one star rating, much below average. I read an inspection report, where they left a woman in the same soiled clothes for almost three whole days. I guess it should be comforting to know that they are promising the same " quality of care " in the new facility. At least Granma will be sitting there in a new building, with fancy lighting, in her food stained clothes! Come on people, wake up. SanStone , who are they? The Times News says they are an Asheville based company. I would seriously question that fact.
Mills River, soon to be home to the new Sierra Nevada brewery, and another Sanstone death resort. Look these people up. Who are they really? Are they an Asheville based company, or a subsidy of some company in somewhere like Ohio? I know SanStone has a really nice office in Biltmore Park, but I have been there several times, and have never seen anyone there.
All I can say, is based on what information is public, be prepared to hear a lot of sirens at night. And don't be surprised when someone's mother or father " escapes " and shows up at the Sierra Nevada brewery in their soiled clothes, looking for the tasting room!
As for the nursing home itself, I wager they are planning on moving all the old beds and furniture  from Beystone to the brand new building. They will file a certificate of need with the NCDHHS. They will get a little help from their friends at DHHS, and they will have a new facility, full of antiquated beds and equipment. Someone is definitely getting rich off the elderly in Henderson County NC. Is it Christopher Sprenger and Michael Deloach, or is it some investment company in Ohio? Anyone know for sure?

The one thing they all have in common, is that I filed a complaint with or against all of them. The other thing they all have in common, is that none of them found or did anything wrong.
I have read countless articles and spent hours and hours researching the laws and rules that govern them. There are obvious violations, and some not so obvious. The one thing for sure is that the agencies governing them do not care. As long as the money continues to flow, they will continue to ignore the violations.
I know of instances where patients were dropped, and they died ten days later. I looked up their death certificates and the cause of death listed by Larry Joe, Failure to thrive and dementia! There was actually an amended death certificate that listed the cause of death as subdural hemorrhage. I would assume that a real doctor would have noticed something wrong. I have done research, and a simple test of pupil dilation would have been reason for more tests.
I have talked to many people that have stories about their loved ones. I cant think of one that has anything good to say. My opinion, is that if you can survive the lack of care at one of SanStone's facilities, you truly deserve to live. Only the strongest survive, and believe me , if they survive, they sure deserve a better life.
I am currently in contact with someone in the media, who wants to tell the story. If you have any suspicions, that something isn't right, let your voice be heard. If you have specific knowledge that laws have been broken, or if you work or worked for someone who broke these laws, contact me. I will assist you in following the channels to get something done. Please do something. Together we have enough power to make a difference. You can contact me at 828-697-6823. Leave your name and number, and I will contact you. I will not disclose your name or any personal information. Make a difference, its time to stand up to these money hungry pigs, and honor the loved ones we have lost.
