NCDHSR and Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, Volentary Manslaughter ?

Three years ago, I would never have imagined I'd be writing about these issues. Like most people I assumed that the people watching out for the elderly were actually doing their jobs. That is the furthest thing from the truth. As I learned how slack the NCDHHS regulations were on nursing homes, and how they were not even enforcing them, the journy began.
I never would have dreamed I'd have any reason to call the the State Bureau of Investigation, the
NCDHHS, two different Congressmen, the NC State Medical Examiner, Centers for Medicade and Medicaid Services, The Office of the Inspector General, NC State Medical Board and NC Board of Nursing. And if you told me I would have two meetings in the office of the F.B.I., I would have told you you were crazy.
But that was three years ago. And believe it or not, the above is just a partial list of people I have spoken to. Anyone heard of the office Ombudsman, Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence, NCI Advancemed, North Carolina Department of Medical Assistance,
My Mother died in the hands of greedy nursing home owners and theives at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. In the days following Mom's death, I started to see many reasons for concern. Questions were only fueled by the number of people who had died in that same facility in just a few months time. I origionally counted eighteen in a little over two months. That seemed to be a lot of deaths for a "Health and Rehabilitation" facility. Maybe they should change the name to "Hendersonville if you're lucky you get out alive and Rehabilitation".
As time went on, I was more and more convinced that something had gone wrong and Mom did not die a natural death. Immediatly I questioned why the death certificate was signed by Dr. Larry Joe Russell instead of the Emergency room doctor. I was told Dr. Russell was Mom's doctor at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation which was a surprise because no one in the family had ever met him or heard his name.
While picking up the death certificate for the estate paperwork, I looked through the books at the courthouse. Dr. Larry Joe Russell has signed a whole bunch of death certificates. Over two thirds of them, the cause of death is listed as "failure to thrive". Most of them died in one of Henderson County's many nursing homes. Dr. Russell is the Doctor of record at all the local homes and the medical director at the Laurels of Hendersonville.
I cant prove what happened to Mom was not due to natural causes. What I can prove is that the medical records from Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation are incomplete, inacurate and sometimes just false. I can also prove that Dr. Russell never saw her.
Mom's medical records prove that they are playing games with medications, and committing Medicare fraud. I can also prove that the North Carolina Department of Health Service Regulation, a division of NCDHHS, is allowing this to happen. I have documents that indicate that the NCDHSR is committing Medicare fraud by allowing them to operate without true regulations.
With all that said, I have been unable to get any response from any of the agencies listed above. Not the NCDMA, CMS, OIG, CCME, OIG, NCBON, NCME, FBI or the NC Medical Board. The one thing that keeps holding me back is the ficticious report by the NCDHSR and subsequent " medical review. The NCDHSR should be charged with volentary manslaughter and the investigators prosecuted.
I currently have a request with the Freedom of Information Act for a complaint inspection of Hendersonville Health and Rethabilitation that was completed the day before Mom died. The status of that request is pending since March of this year. My brother has a Freedom of Information Act request for documents from NCI Advancemed that has been pending since September 2013. They are all trying to keep us from finding out the truth.


According to one publication Dr Russell had seen over 4000 patients in the year 2012. That doesn't account for his stable of FNP's and PA's. According toa study from The Annals of Family Medicine, one doctor can reasonably help 983 patients in a year working solo. As part of a team, delegating tasks properly, the same doctor could reach 1,947 patients.
Even if you include his "team" thats more than twice what the Annals of Family Medicine says they reasonably see in a year. Maybe thats why so many of Doctor Russell's patients die.
