Joelle |
I
am very happy that Joelle (who I know and have worked with) was found
and that she is safe but she suffered needlessly.
This
is an OUTRAGE because this has happened to many other patients at
Lakeview who were not supervised properly. At Lakeview they call
these incidents - running away - 'elopements'. If there were proper
staffing levels – at ALL times and staff were properly trained,
this would NEVER had happen. But at Lakeview the bottom line seems to
get in the way of proper patient care.
As
fair warning to Tom Horan, Dave Armstrong, Tina, John and other staff
who witness this neglect DAILY – myself and others will not let
this go. The safety of the patients as well as the staff should be
the primary concern of Lakeview management but it HAS NOT BEEN for a
very long time. If things do not change, we will see more elopements.
Does anyone in the Valley care about these patients? If you do speak
up and tell local and state officials. If a reporter calls you talk
and I will state again....
SEARCH
YOUR SOUL: Have you witnessed another human being being neglected or
abused? You are required either by state law or your own good
conscience to report it to those who we charge with enforcing the
law. READ what is posted at the page below and make up your mind. Do
it for the people who can't help themselves and PLEASE do it for
yourself and your family. In New Hampshire call: Call (603) 271-7014
or toll Free from within NH at (800) 949-0470 You can report
anonymously if you need to. In other states contact Health and Human
Services.
