I rode by Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation today in the course of a normal day. I stopped outside, and looked around. The place looks kind of nice from the outside. There are lots of flowers, the grass is nice and manicured, the entrance is welcoming on the outside.
 I remember the first time I went inside, Mom had been moved there from Memorial Mission hospital, in Asheville. She was sent there for vocational and occupational rehabilitation, recovering from a craniotomy. Mom wasn't sick, she was just taking a little longer to get her strength back, than the doctor thought she should have. I was directed to room 102 A by the receptionist. Whoever that was in 102 A it was obviously not Mom. I was met in the hallway by a worker pushing a wheelchair, who directed me to 101 A, where Mom was resting in the bed.
The whole family had been in and out of Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, and we all noticed how short staffed they were. But Mom wasn't sick, so we all assisted her to the bathroom and with her meals, all they really had to do was to take care of her at night. We actually felt sorry for the workers, who were obviously doing the most they could. One of us was was with Mom almost all the time, except when she slept.
No one thought she was in any danger sleeping at night. Boy were we all wrong. Thats when most of the bad stuff happens at these places. For the most part, they are fully staffed in the daytime, and short staffed at night.This allowed any potential residents, family members and State inspectors, to see what they were supposed to see.
Well it was early the morning Mom was supposed to come home, when I got that dreaded call that I will never forget. It was 5:07 am, and the Hispanic lady on the phone informed me that Mom was not breathing, and they were trying to resuscitate her. I immediately drove to Hendersonville Health and rehabilitation, where I was met by a nurse. The nurse was Tammy Mace, RN. She gave me a quick story about what had happened. I left and went to Margaret Pardee Hospital, where Mom had been sent by ambulance. Mom was dead, she had not had a heartbeat or breath since 4:45 am.
The death certificate was signed by Dr. Larry Joe Russell, which was a surprise, due to the fact that no one in the family knew who he was. In all the time Mom was in Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, he was supposed to be her doctor. Seems weird that not one of us had ever met Dr Russell, although, he was supposed to have seen Mom.
Some of the story just wasn't right. The times were not the same on all the reports, and something just wasn't right. Well after more than a year and a half of asking questions, I still cant tell what really happened. There are so many inconsistencies in the stories, it poses more questions than it answers. To this day, not one has told the truth, not  Dr. Larry Joe Russell, Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation or SanStone ( Mike Deloach and Christopher Sprenger). If you are dealing with any of these people, be careful. They are selling nothing more than substandard care and death. I can tell you from experience, they will go to any extreme to hide the truth. I know without a doubt, that something went terribly wrong the night Mom died. Part of me wants to believe it was an accident, and part of me believes it was not.
My big brother and I  will keep on chasing the truth, wherever it leads us. We will not stop digging , until the truth is known. We are prepared to chase the bad guys as long as it takes to catch them making another mistake. It is inevitable! We are documenting them and pursuing many sources of justice. We will overcome, all of the corruption and greed ,and justice will prevail !!!
