The home caters mainly to elderly people with dementia, but PC’s mind is very clear and alert (although he has no use of his body). He has seen several instances of mistreatment of the residents by the caregivers and the owner of the premises. He has also been the subject of mistreatment, one instance of which could have resulted in his death if he didn’t adamantly reject the medication being offered. He has documented everything he has witnessed or experienced. I have read his documentation and spoken to him about this, and I believe it’s a serious problem and something needs to be done ASAP. I do not practice in this area of law, though, and I think he would be better off with a lawyer who knows the law related to caregiving and nursing homes. Do any of you practice in this area or know someone who does? I am hoping to give him some names to contact in the next day or two.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Heather Kolbly<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><i><u><span style='font-family:"Castellar","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p><span style='text-decoration:none'> </span></o:p></span></u></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'>Heather Tobin Kolbly<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'>Attorney and Counselor at Law<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'>Mail:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'> 704 228<sup>th</sup> Ave. NE #122, Sammamish, WA 98074<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'>Office:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'> (425) 522-4234 </span><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>s</span><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'> <b>Cell:</b> (425) 444-1888 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:Heather@KolblyLaw.com"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D;text-decoration:none'>Heather@KolblyLaw.com</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.kolblylaw.com/"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D;text-decoration:none'>www.KolblyLaw.com</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
