A picture is worth a thousand words. Todd Davis, did you let Hendersonville Health and Rehab kill my Mom?

This is what Mom's head looked like seven weeks prior to her fall at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. Not only is there staples on the outside, but the skull itself is stitched inside. It takes up to one year for the skull to heal.
If I were a nurse or doctor, I would examine a patient with this type of wound if she fell, no matter what the circumstance. In the NCDHSR investigation notes, Todd Davis states that the nurse on duty( Lara Mooney ) an LPN, evaluated Mom after the fall, and decided she needed no further care. According to Mr. Davis, Dr Russell agreed with Lara Mooney LPN, and felt that in his "professional" opinion the nurse was correct in her decision.
Then on the next page, Mr Davis states that Dr. Larry Joe Russell saw her after the fall as he would any patient if he was on the property. I'm not sure what actually happened after the fall. I am sure that Dr. Larry J. Russell did not see her after the fall.
Did Mr. Davis forget that he wrote the first statement ? Did Dr. Russell forget which patient he was talking about , and answer two different times? Do that many patients at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation  fall on any given day that neither Dr. Russell or Todd davis could get the facts straight? Did Todd Davis actually approach Dr. Larry J. Russell two different times concerning the fall and get two different answers. The whole thing doesn't make sense.
This is just one of the discrepencies in the NCDHSR investigation. I have contacted Mr. Davis, now the Western regional director of the NCDHSR to get his story, and was denied. I then contacted Beverley Speroff, the NCDHSR section chief, and again was denied. The next step was Dr. Aldona Wos, the Secretary of The NCDHHS in Raleigh and was also denied.
If there is a flaw in the investigation process, shouldn't they want to know. How many other investigations are flawed as a result of Mr. Davis' incompetence? Are there people dying in nursing homes and the NCDHSR covering for the influential home owners?
As I have said in the past, I believe that the documents in my possession are extremely incriminating to the NCDHSR and therefore the NCDHHS. I have evidence that the nurses "late entry" by Lara Mooney, concerning the fall Mom sustained was created to prevent the NC State Medical Examiner from ordering an autopsy. The "late entry" was dated the day after the State Medical Examiners office was supposed to request Mom's records from Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. They were faxed from Hendersonville Health an Rehabilitation to someone on the next day and the day after that I was notified by the Medical examiner that they were not going to order an autopsy. The "late entry" states that Lara Mooney LPN witnessed Mom sliding out of bed, and that she specifically did not hit her head. The roommate's statement is that she woke up to Mom lying in the floor face down calling for help. She also states that she pulled the call light and no one came, then she had to call out to two CNA's passing the room to get help.
If the NC State Medical Examiner had received the roommate's statement they would have had a reason to order an autopsy. Was Lara Mooney's statement created to prevent an autopsy that could have proved the cause of  Mom's death? All I know is that it sure looks that way to me, and the documents support that theory. Why would the roommate fabricate a story in such detail?
Why would the NCDHSR be so opposed to looking at what I have found in their own documents. Is it because they are used to covering up for the mistakes made by the nursing homes. Is it because they are in the pockets of the wealthy nursing home owners and shareholders who also happen to be politicians in many cases. Could that explain the reason not one official I have spoken with is willing to even consider the evidence I have collected? Believe me I have spoken to anyone who would give me the courtesy of listening, and some that had to be coerced.
Who do you go to when you know something is wrong? The agency that has kept me from getting anywhere is the NCDHHS. If they would review their own findings and admit they made a few mistakes it would open many doors for other actions. If you consider that their " findings " prevented us from taking any other actions, you would realize the importance of my persistence.
When you look at the picture above, would you have had a doctor examine her. Consider that the picture is the actual picture taken after the surgery. How much healing can take place in seven weeks? Everything I found says it takes a full year for the skull to heal. Did Lara Mooney make the proper decision the night of the fall? All they did was take Mom's vitals and put her back in bed. All it takes to determine if there was damage to the brain is to check the pupils, they didn't even do that. Unless Dr. Russell actually saw her after the fall as Mr. Davis stated in one of his stories. However there were no notes anywhere in Mom's medical records that indicate that Dr. Russell ever even saw her. None of the family, that was there all the time ever saw Dr. Russell.
In my next post I will show the copies of the conflicting reports written by Todd Davis, and examples of the sloppy record keeping at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation.

NCDHSR , Comitted to serving the people of our State, or puppets of the big medical machine. Violating civil rights on a daily basis!

The following was copied and pasted from the NCDHHS website. The  comments in bold are my experiences in dealing with them.
The mission of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services is, in collaboration with our partners, to protect the health and safety of all North Carolinians and provide essential human services.
The mission of the Division of Health Service Regulation is to provide for the health, safety and well-being of individuals through effective regulatory and remedial activities including appropriate consultation and training opportunities and by improving access to health care delivery systems through the rational allocation of needed facilities and services.
We will focus on: customer; employees and work teams; managed care and traditional providers; and outcomes and continued improvement. We will carry out our activities by being: responsive; respectful of others; collaborative; and communicative and committed to serving the people of our state.
First of all the NCDHSR is not looking out for the " health, safety, and wellbeing of individuals. This is obvious in the fact that they will not even discuss, let alone explain the discrepancies and false statements in their investigation reports. I have asked specific questions related to the complaint investigation regarding my Mother's situation.
I started with the Western Regional Director, Todd Davis, no response. Then I went to Beverly Speroff, the division chief of the NCDHSR , she basically dismissed my questions and told me I could file another complaint.
Next step was Dr. Aldona Wos, the secretary of the NCDHHS, appointed by Governor Pat McCrory. Her response was the same as the others, they were not willing to comment on why their report was full of false information and incomplete records. I challenge the legality of their refusal to "collaborate, and communicate with the people of the State of NC.

The North Carolina Medical Care Commission was established in 1945.  In 1946, the commission was designated as the agency empowered to administer the Hill-Burton program within the state.  Pursuant to the Executive Organization Act of 1973, the 17-member Commission was incorporated into the Department of Health and Human Services.
The commission has the duty and power to promulgate, adopt, amend and rescind rules in accordance with the laws of the state regarding the regulation and licensing or certification, as applicable, of hospitals, hospices, free standing outpatient surgical facilities, nursing homes, adult care homes, home care agencies, nursing pools, facilities providing mammography/pap smear services, free standing abortion clinics, ambulances and emergency medical services personnel.
In 1975, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Health Care Facilities Finance Act, which enables the commission to issue tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance construction and equipment projects for non-profit and public hospitals, nursing homes, continuing care facilities for the elderly and facilities related to the foregoing.
When all of this began, one of the members of this commission, Gerald P. Cox, was directly connected to the owners of Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. Mr Cox was also the owner of Autumn Care Nursing Homes in North Carolina and Virginia. This commission has the authority to promulgate, adopt , amend and rescind the rules governing nursing homes. Is it not a conflict of intrest for an owner of nursing homes is on the commission that regulates them? I for one question the integrity of Mr. Cox and the other members of the commission. Is anyone naïve to believe they are not serving themselves and their friends rather than the public interest?

The Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section   regulates nursing homes by conducting routine   surveys and complaint investigations. It provides licensing services such as changes in beds and ownership. It provides regulatory education to promote compliance with Federal regulations for   Medicare/Medicaid certification.
If this is the case, Medicare and Medicaid are in serious trouble. Is it just a coincidence that Governor McCrory refused all that Medicaid money? Is it possible that he didn't want the Feds looking at what the money was spent on and who benefitted from it?
He does appoint the Secretary of the NCDHHS and the members of the Medical Care Commission. Why let the Feds in on your private little party of friends.

To sum it all up, if you have a problem with any branch of the NCDHHS you are simply out of luck. Even if you can prove that mistakes were made, and they did not do their jobs, who is going to listen? I've been trying for three years and believe my Civil Rights have been violated by several agencies including the NCDHHS, Office of the Inspector General, and even the FBI. What do you do about it, I haven't got a clue but I will continue to demand that my rights are no longer violated. This is a prime example of how private corporations are in charge of our Government. This has to be stopped before it is too late, if it is not already! 

Todd Davis, Western Regional Director of the NCDHSR. Promoted because of incopetence or doing someone a favor?

In my last post I spoke of the need for reform in regards to the way the nursing homes operate. This post I will provide some of my own ideas on what I feel is needed.
First I will start with the North Carolina Department of Health Service Regulation NCDHSR. This is a branch of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, which is the State level branch of Health and Human Services, a Federal agency.
The NCDHSR is responsible for the enforcement of nursing home regulations. They are the ones who are actually doing the inspections allowing the nursing homes to maintain their licenses. They are also the ones that conduct any complaint investigations against nursing homes. The investigations, or "surveys" are conducted by personnel hired from the nursing industry. They conduct their investigations in teams. They supposedly review medical records, interview residents and staff, and conduct walkthrough inspections.
When they are conducting an inspection they first report to the Director of Nursing to announce their arrival. The Director of Nursing then announces over the intercom that there are State inspectors on site. They also post a sign on all entry doors alerting anyone entering the building that they are being inspected. In my opinion, this is the first thing that needs to change. How do you expect to properly inspect a facility when the staff has an advance warning. The inspectors are usually the same people as well. The first thing the staff does is hurry from room to room to correct anything that was cited in previous inspections, or that is obviously a violation of the rules.
I would propose that inspections be conducted without warning or announcement. Do they really expect the staff to go about business as usual, knowing someone is watching? What would happen if the inspectors walked in the door just as visitors do? I am guessing that they would find more violations than they could write down. The way they carry out these inspections, it appears they don't want to find violations.
 I realize that some of their rules are not as important as others, however they are still rules. As an example, they are supposed to post the staff levels and resident population daily in a conspicuous place. I was in Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation during an investigation and the information posted was a week old. I reviewed the results of that investigation, and there were no violations found. Were they really looking or are these investigations simply a formality.
I also propose that someone who is not a former nursing home employee be on the team. I understand that there are HIPPA concerns, but these people would be no different than a receptionist in a doctors office. I believe that when you work in the business, you are used to working under staffed and out of empathy, ignore violations.
Then there are the interviews with residents. I am sure that most residents are afraid to tell the truth. They are already getting substandard care, and experience a great deal of intimidation. Knowing the workings of Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, the residents interviewed are probably chosen by the Director of Nursing. The ones that I've read do not reflect the overall treatment of patients.
There are also surveyors notes sheets. In Mom's case the surveyors notes contained two statements concerning a fall, each one said the opposite of the other. I was told that they were just a statement made by the Doctor. That is evidently enough for the NCDHSR, even though they are contradictory. I even went so far as to send them a copy of the notes, and asked for an explanation. They replied that the investigation was done in the past and that I could file another complaint if that wasn't good enough. Coincidentally the lead investigator Todd Davis, the same person that wrote the conflicting statements was promoted to regional director. Obviously incompetence is rewarded within the NCDHSR.
Reform would have start by dealing with the incompetence of the NCDHSR. Which would then lead to the NCDHHS. When I contacted  Aldona Wos the Secretary of the NCDHHS, I was basically told that they would not even answer the question of why there were two different accounts of one incident.
More to come, this is just the beginning of what needs to be reformed!

With the politicians owning and financially benefitting, where will the reform come from? Certainly not the NCDHHS, they work for the politicians!

I am sitting here this morning thinking about what has happened in the last three years. My brother and I have reached out to countless people in order to determine if Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and Dr. Larry Joe Russell, violated any laws or regulations. We have found that they continue to operate with no fear from anyone.
I have been inside Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation this year over a one month period visiting a friend. In that time I personally witnessed many violations of NCDHSR regulations. There was even a NCDHSR complaint investigation conducted during that time. Even with the sign on the front door stating that there was a NCDHSR investigation going on, I still witnessed violations.
The problem is that the DHHS refuses to listen to the public. They will side with the nursing home every time. Try to dispute any of the DHHS findings and see how far you get. I have in my possession documents that are full of inaccuracies and sometimes even contradict themselves. When I contacted Beverley Speroff, the chief of the nursing home licensure division of the NCDHSR, I was told they were not willing to look at the documents. I even went so far as to ask for clarification of the documents, again refused. I sent a list of specific questions pertaining to the investigation they supposedly conducted on my complaint. They refused to even answer any of the questions.
I then took it to the next level, I contacted Aldona Wos, the Secretary of the NCDHHS. I simply explained my situation and asked for her to intervene. The first letter I sent was ignored, the second was sent registered mail and I did get a response. The letter made no reference to the first letter and was from Secretary Wos's chief of staff. Again they refused to even look at the report. It seems that they have no concern for the public safety. They also could care less about the concerns of a voting citizen of the United States and North Carolina. The reason is they are not elected, they are appointed by the Governor.
As I have stated in the past I am receiving help from a United States Congressman. It took several emails to get through to him, I finally went to his office and met with a staff member. I have requested a meeting with the Congressman himself, and have never been granted that meeting. The same Congressman was here to participate in a local parade before the elections, but no time to meet with me. I feel that he is trying to help, but either he has too many friends connected to the nursing home business, or he just doesn't want to get into something so big.
In my last post I wrote of politicians benefitting from " Obama Care ", specifically the Frist family. This morning on Meet the Press, they were discussing Congressmen and Senators and their rise in economic status in recent years. What a surprise that was right? Then while speaking about income amounts, they stated that Congressmen and Senators do not have to list in their income ownership interests in properties in their reports. Is it any wonder that there are many members of the Senate and Congress that own nursing home properties. I am not implying that the Congressman that I'm dealing with is one of them. I would be willing to guess that he has a few friends that are profiting from ownership in these homes.
It is truly a disgrace that with all the money they are making, they still cant ensure the residents needs are satisfied. I'm not talking about facials and massages, I'm talking about basic care. Things like showers, help eating, assistance with toileting, and even making sure they get the right medication at the right time. A resident in a nursing is simply a source of income for people that are already wealthy. This industry cries for reform, from the NCDHSR down to the ownership and operations. However with so many politicians involved in the ownership of these places, I don't know how there will ever be reform. Why would they do something that would take money from their own pockets. Especially if the only people benefitting would be the elderly residents who probably don't even vote. Why would they give up the $5.00 or so it would cost to get a shower, if they could put that $5.00 in their pockets.

This morning I woke up with tears in my eyes, I had been dreaming about my Mother.

This morning I woke up with tears in my eyes, I had been dreaming about my Mother. It has been a while since I had felt that aching pain of loss. I think about my Mom and Dad often and the memories are not the painful kind. I am not sure what brought this dream on, but I imagine it is the approaching holiday season.
It is important to explain that I am a Christian, I believe in heaven and know Mom is on that list. I also believe we are supposed to forgive those that hurt us. I have forgiven those who I believe to be responsible for Mom's death.
So why do I continue to write about things that led to Moms death ? As a Christian am I not supposed to forget what happened. After all, people say that whatever happens " it is God's will ". Although this is supposed to be comforting, in some instances it is ridiculous. God gave people free will, that doesn't mean that whatever people do is God's will.
I believe that God needs soldiers who are willing to fight the evil that exists in todays society. I do not think we are supposed to let others treat people as they wish. To accept the mistreatment of elderly helpless patients in nursing homes is apprehensible. The willingness of the governing authorities to turn their heads and let this happen is infuriating. It is also obviously accepted by politicians, because they refuse to get involved in reform or enforcement of the laws.
I kept asking myself what reason would a politician have to ignore a situation that cries for reform. Why wont anyone listen to my concerns and act on the proof I have of wrongdoing, Medicare fraud, antitrust laws, and numerous DHSR regulations being violated regularly with no fear of repercussion. Isn't healthcare reform a major topic of both political parties at election time? Well this election cycle is over and nothing has changed.
I keep reading about how terrible the affordable care act is for our country, and how the Republicans want to repeal it. Yesterday I came across several articles that would make the following statement false. Here is a portion of one of the articles;  Bill Frist is the former U.S. Senate Republican Majority Leader from Tennessee. During the heat of the health care reform debate, he sang the praises of President Obama's health care reform. His stance raises the question, "Why"? Then I found another article that answered the question. Here is the beginning of that article; One of the nation's biggest beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act, Thomas Frist has seen his fortune rise by $1.5 billion, along with shares of his hospital conglomerate, HCA Holding. Is it a coincidence that they share the same last name, no it is father and son. What a gift to give your dad $1.5 billion dollars.
There is the problem, politicians owning the businesses that are benefitting from a lack of reform, and the lack of regulations being enforced. The Frist family doesn't care how many others woke up with tears this morning or any other morning. They care that their family is getting so rich they couldn't possibly spend all the money they are making. Here is a quote that explains it all, I'm not sure of the origin of the quote but I got it from my preachers Facebook post.
"But to demand justice where there is no righteousness, no interest in righteousness, no willingness to be righteous, is to demand to breath air under water. It cannot be." Does the Frist family have a willingness  to be righteous? Is there any politician that has the willingness to be righteous, even at the cost of their political office? We can only hope so, but I am not very optimistic!
My mom died at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation a SanStone property. SanStone does not own it, but the owners of SanStone own most of the company that does. They also own Beystone in Fletcher, which is going to close when they finish construction of The Lodge in Mills River. Other SanStone properties include Stonecreek H&R, Madison H&R, Oak Forest H&R, Sanford H&R. According to the NC Secretary of State's office , this year they also registered properties in Anson County NC, Rutherford County NC and Wake County NC. Although this took place in April of 2014, I can only find record of one of them on the Medicare.gov nursing home compare website.
I have read articles about SanStone buying other homes, and actually had workers from these places contact me about their concerns. They were lied to about what was taking place and the next thing they were owned by SanStone.
I have found many reasons to believe that SanStone is politically connected to the same lawmakers as the Frist family. They are directly connected to Gerald P. Cox who is on the NC Medical Care Commission appointed by the Governor to administer the appropriations of government funds for building and improving nursing homes. I am sensing another lack of willingness to be righteous.
I forgive them for letting my Mother die without respect and dignity. However I will do everything I can to stop them from exploiting any other helpless elderly person. I could sure use all the help I can get, I am not wealthy enough to be heard nor do I have the support of the others in similar situations. Is this really going to be written off as " it's God's will " or are there other soldiers willing to fight? Are there people willing to be righteous?

Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and Sanstone, do your job, and earn all that Medicare money you're taking!

The third anniversary of Mom's death has come and gone and the memories of her last days are still haunting me. The fact is that Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and SanStone are still being allowed to ignore NCDHSR regulations.
After Mom died I had to visit Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation several times to obtain records and such. After that I had no intention of ever going back there again. Then earlier this year, a member of my church family was admitted to Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. He was nearing the end of his life due to cancer. I'm not sure how I got the courage to go through those doors again, but I went to visit him there.
I drove up to the building that was so full of bad memories, parked my car and took a deep breath. Walking up to the door was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. Then when I stopped at the desk I was directed to his room. He was in room 101 A, it must have been a test or something. The same room and bed that Mom spent her last night in. I had not been in that room since November 2, 2011, the day before Mom died.
I walked down the main hallway feeling like the walls were closing in on me. I looked at every nurse and wondered if they had known my Mom. I actually walked by Tammy Mace, the nurse that found Mom the morning she died. I turned the corner and there was the desk where I was told Mom was not responding and had been sent to Pardee hospital. And then I turned the corner and there was the room, I hesitated for a moment then went into the room. There was my friend lying in the bed my Mother had died in.
That's when things changed, all I could think about was the man lying there knowing he was near the end of his life. I visited him regularly, and the other stuff seemed to go away. At first he was pretty much in bed every day when I arrived. I would sit on the edge of the bed and listen to his stories and tell him mine. As the days went on he was able to participate in some physical therapy. I would sit with him as he did as much therapy as he could. One day when I got there he actually took a short walk with a walker. He would ask about my day and I would ask about his.
As the days went on I started seeing the same things that I had seen in Mom's records. The nurse would come in and tell him they didn't have time for his shower that day. His oxygen mask didn't fit right and was cutting into his face .After  several days they finally got one that fit him. His clothes were not always clean and he needed help reaching his water.
Then he started losing his strength and would be less able to participate in therapy. I asked if I could take him outside for a while. We sat in the sun and talked till he started getting cold. Then back inside for therapy, which didn't last very long. He was wheeled back to his room, and the nurse asked me to try to keep him in his wheelchair for another twenty minutes. While we were sitting there talking, he stopped talking momentarily. I asked what was wrong and he looked down to the floor where there was a puddle of urine. I asked if he wanted me to get him someone to help, he said he would just wait till they put him to bed. After ten minutes or so he asked me if I could get someone to change him. I went to the nurses desk and asked for help in getting him cleaned, the nurse told me to push the call light and someone would be in. It took at least another fifteen minutes till the nurse showed up. Then they just changed him and put him in bed.
He maintained his positive attitude but felt like he was a bother to his caregivers. More and more I realized that things were actually worse than we thought with Mom. They didn't even seem to care whether anyone saw how they treated their patients. They were always short of staff and the quality of care suffered. I would visit on weekends and there was hardly any staff at all.
My friend made it through his twenty one days that Medicare approves and he had to be moved. It was decided he would be moved to an assisted living facility. I visited him at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation the day before he was to be moved. The next day my family and I  went out of town for spring break. He died the day I came back from my trip. The last time I got to visit him was in Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation.
I am thankful for our time together, I'm not sure who was actually helping who. Scott helped me get past many things and I hope I helped him in the end of his life. As Christians we talked about religion and our beliefs, but we also talked about food, driving and Family. I miss my friend but I know we will talk again some day.
Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation has no regards for the NCDHSR regulations. They have no fear of being cited or fined for their actions. The point of this story is that they were not providing adequate care in 2011, and they are not providing adequate care in 2014. The NCDHSR has no interest in finding violations or enforcing their own regulations now, and they had no interest in 2011 either. Based on the actions of the NCDHSR, elderly people have no right to be treated with dignity or respect while in a nursing home. Shame on them for what they allowed to happen to my Mother and my Friend.

Three long years and still no answers.

On this day three years ago, mom was getting ready to go home. The staff at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation had determined that she had "reached her goals". In other words her Medicare would no longer cover her stay. She died early that morning.
It had been decided that she would stay at my sisters house for a while till she was strong enough to return home. The decision was ultimately Mom's to make and most of the family supported her. There were things to do and everyone was making sure Mom would have everything she needed when she was discharged.
During her stay at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, Mom had been participating in physical therapy and gaining strength every day. This would not have been necessary had she not been forced out of Memorial Mission Hospital before she was ready. Care Partners was a waste of valuable Medicare dollars, with no benefit to Mom's health from her stay there.
In the afternoon on November, 2 2011, my wife and son picked Mom up at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. The afternoon was spent going to the bank and then to Wal Mart, for a new pair of jeans to wear home. After shopping, Mom returned to Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation for her final night. Everything was going according to schedule.
Thursday November 3, 2011, at 5:07 am my cell phone rang. I was up and getting ready for work. I answered the phone and the voice on the other end told me that my Mother was not breathing and they were trying to resuscitate her, that's all she knew. I told my wife what was going on and drove over to Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. When I arrived I had to ring the bell to get in the door, it was like a ghost town, there was one girl that let me in and then I found Tammy Mace RN behind the desk on Mom's hall. She had no more information and told me they had taken Mom to Pardee Hospital by ambulance.
I drove straight to Pardee and pulled up just as they were wheeling a patient in from the ambulance, I'm sure it was Mom. I went into the emergency room and was told to wait out front. After five minutes or so they came and took me to the family room, where I waited for the Dr. to come. Another five minutes and DR. Boleman, and a nurse came in to tell me Mom never recovered consciousness and had died. Everything just stopped and I couldn't say anything. My wife and younger son arrived soon after and we all cried together. That was the beginning of this story, since that day I have been searching for the truth.
After all the documents and records I have been through and all the people I've spoken to, I still cant say for sure what actually happened. I believe that the fall Mom had sustained in the early morning hours of  October 30 was the cause of her death. I have many reasons for my suspicions. I have documents that conflict witness statements, a " late entry " in the nurses notes concerning the fall. The same " late entry " on a separate page from all the other nurses notes was faxed somewhere the day before the NC State Medical examiners office refused to authorize an autopsy. Their decision was based on the review of Moms medical records they had obtained from Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation.
I believe that if Dr. Larry Joe Russell had examined her after the fall, she would still be alive. Lara Mooney Rn is the one who wrote the late entry concerning the fall. It was apparently her that decided Mom did not need to see a doctor. Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation is guilty of lying to protect their reputation. And the NCDHSR has allowed them to do so and refused to even look at the proof that I have. Three years and still no answers.
