Rainy's Story

Hello, I want to let you know how much your documentary resignated with me. Susie, I am 35, almost and a former Resident Care Coordinator. I worked in a local Ohio ICF facility. Where I supported, and cared for some of the most sweetest, misunderstood, vulnerable, and just amazing individuals. Individuals who were placed in this facility due to developmental disability. Here in Ohio the Obudsman is not even able to advocate for the these individuals. Due too that advocacy being placed at the door of county Department of Disability, and State Department of Disability. CMS still goes in and surveys and give them a check mark though the neglect and abuse is clear. The Ohio Department of Health and Human Services has found non compliance of so many state regulations. From residents being stripped of dignity, made to urinate in their wheelchair on a depends. When they have complete ability to use the toilet. The RCC just didn't want to take the time to lift the resident appropriatly. My co-advocate has a uncle who has suffered with so many bed sores. The ODH placed in their survey that the Adminstrator and Director of nursing knew of no wound care specialist that was suppose to assess the sores. Also they had no proper training. Latest news. Was this poor man 71 years old, had a g-tube misplacement where one of the nurses place the peg tube at a 8cm depth 5 more cm than the 3 that the physician ordered. This blocked off his lower intestine causing blood bile and stomach contents to come up through esophagus. For 3 days this went on. Until he went the hospital, just find that a nurse after the insert was wrong still did not check placement, but blew up the balloon more. This just caused those worsened problems. Though this all happened and we have also my co-advocate and I have contacted the DODD, Corporate, CMS, the OAG, and the governors office. We have come to see just what you out on that documentary.

Susie, I am going to school for social work. Because I have rocked the boat, and I left as an RCC in April due to my co-worker being fired because her another RCC witnessed a senior employee male, in bed with a female resident and smacking the female naked bum. The Admin, hid the situation by firing the reporters and then telling the authorities, there was no malicious intent. That this man was often the only one who could get this individual out of bed. With no wondering or question about what that was. This was covered up entirely.

If you can point me in any direction of national advocacy groups, I would love to be apart of the voice. Also I am not longer aloud to visit my adult friends who I care so much for. Though this is restricting their rights. Nothing is done I mean nothing. Its very sad!

You reached me so well with this Doc. Thank you thank you.
