SanStone ???

Who is SanStone, and what do they actually do. You see their advertising on WLOS tv in Asheville. I have been looking at these people for a long time. The Hendersonville Times News says Pardee Hospital sold Pardee Care Center to Hendersonville Physicians and Associates. The associates part is the Sprenger family from Ohio.
 According to Medicare.gov, the operating company is Ardent Health and Rehabilitation. The Ownership is a long list of Sprengers , Flat Rock Management Company , BSH , Bluesky Healthcare , Hendersonville Physicians and associates, and a long list of names , some of them recognizable as local doctors. So who is SanStone? There is no mention of SanStone on the Medicare.gov website.
From what I can find, SanStone has nothing to with Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. Yet they spend all that money advertising for them? There is nothing listed on the NC Secretary of State website about SanStone health and Rehabilitation. There is a SanStone aviation and a SanStone hosiery. I'm somewhat confused as to why they are advertising for something that doesn't even exist.
 In their ads, they tell you how great their facilities are, and how they treat you like family. I guess that means you get partial ownership interest in the facility?
If they are so great, how come no one admits to ownership? How come Christopher Sprenger and Michael Deloach are listed as managing employees? My guess would be that they are drawing a salary from each of the SanStone facilities. But wait who is SanStone?

President Obama expressed concern about the future of Medicare last night in his State of The Union Address. The problems that plague Medicare are some of the very same issues I have been writing about.
The nursing home business is a cesspool of thieves taking advantage of Medicare. I have written to Congressman Mark Meadows, and comically received a response to gun control issues. I have written twice to the White House, I received two generic answers.
I know there are committees involved in Medicare issues. I am trying to get an audience with those people. I need your stories, and your help.
In order to have any security in our old age we must take action. How many of you have witnessed the horrors of what happens in a nursing home? How many have just chosen to let it go. They are counting on your believing that old people die They are confident that you will find peace in letting it go. Help me prove they are wrong. You can contact me at 828-697-6823 or at jaemark7@bellsouth.net. Please help me make a difference.
Maybe you know about something that can help. Maybe you have worked at one of these places and have witnessed the horror first hand. It has to stop. Please help change the system, before we enter into it. I have contacts that will listen, but people have to get involved. If you know me, talk to me. It takes more than one to make a difference.

Christopher Sprenger, Michael Deloach, Larry Joe Russel, Sanstone.
Today would have been Mom's 78th birthday, all of the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, would have been at her house later today for a celebration of her birth. Mom loved being surrounded by her family, and she sure loved cake!
The house now sits empty, supposed to be auctioned on the courthouse steps Thursday, January 31.
The house was spared for now, given until March.
Mom was not so lucky, her life ended early the morning November 3, 2011, at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. She was supposedly found slumped over in her bed . There was nothing to indicate that she was in any distress before that morning.
The story is that she was assisted to the bathroom and back to bed. The nurse on duty that morning said she passed by the room and Mom was laying in a strange position. The nurse said she called Mom from the door, and Mom did not respond. The nurse then entered the room and found her without a pulse and not breathing.
Mom was a fighter, she had been through a lot since her surgery in September. She was determined to go home. Her worst fear was to die in a nursing home. There is not a day since her death, that I have not thought about that. Mom was supposed to be discharged on the day of her death.
Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation became her worst nightmare. There are some people that know what really happened that morning . They have all been replaced by people willing to lie for money. There is no doubt in my mind, that at least one of those people is not sleeping well at night.
My mission is to expose the horror of life and death in one of these horrible places. I would welcome the truth from anyone who actually knows what happened.
I am tired, I am sad and I am really angry. I will not stop until the truth is known. People are still dying at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, and the other SanStone properties. Larry Joe Russell is still signing a whole bunch of death certificates. They can be stopped, it will take more than this blog to make that happen. Get involved. Together we can make a difference!!!
