This concerns Desert Lane Care Center in Las Vegas
My grandmother had been there a year and bed ridden
She was bleeding from her stomach ulcer because they gave her too much medication and my cousin happened to be there and asked for help for hrs while she threw up
So she went to Valley Hospital Las Vegas for care.
My father said they keep getting calls from these institutions to pay the bills.
My aunt just recieved a letter to pay the bill today which Valley hospital where she is at now and they cut her off last week for $26,000
Valley hospital is at $1000 a day
Senior Dimensions she has and Medicaid
Still has culinary insurance and pension but very little money
She's had that for decades
$1200 a month
$5000 a month at Desert Lane, which is incredible in itself as they don't keep that place too sanitary
He said him and one aunt of mine are getting the threats from these places
My aunt was told that they would put a lien on her property and seize her property if she didnt come up with the money
Their saying that she's their mother and its their responsibility, etc
An attorney friend said they are not liable to pay
So as you can see for middle income people thats quite hefty
Now they have her on morphine, probably to shut her up as my grandmother has quite the temper sometimes
Very upset at whats going on
Dr Osawa is the prescribing dr
And Desert Lane urine odor is very strong
Its unbearable
she tube feeds and cant go to the bathroom on her own
my family has been paying for the bills but are getting out of hand
What can we do ?
Thanks as always
Alan

Shady care from Desert Lane and Valley hospital Vegas
AUTHOR: Alan - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 22, 2007
My grandmother was staying here and she was bleeding from an aggravated ulcer that was caused due to too much medicine and she was bleeding from 5pm till 3am until someone got to help her and needed to go to Valley hospital Vegas for her bleeding stomach and they won't let her back in
She has Medicaid insurance and no money and 82 yrs old. My father said that they want to sue also the family members for the bills
Its terrible in there. You can smell strong odors of urine thats unbearable. She is also bed ridden. She had Medicare but that dropped.
My family has been paying for the bills but are getting out of hand. She tube feeds and cant go to the bathroom on her own
Senior Dimensions she has and Culinary union insurance. My aunt was told that they would put a lien on her property and seize her property if she didnt come up with the money
An attorney friend said they cannot do that
-
I would recommend you call the Governor's office of consumer health assistance.
They are terrificthe agency was formed to help families just like yours.
Their number is 702-486-3587.
I really think they can help.
If I can offer you any additional information, please let me know.
Sincerely,
