BTW, you might want to add being careful regarding ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ authorizations.
My MIL had a stoke while in one of those places and we were called and told she had ‘fallen and broken her shoulder’. We live in KS City, KS, and she was in Ransom, KS, about four hours away. We left as soon as we were notified, to be with her in Hayes, KS.
I noticed her face looked strange on seeing her and she couldn’t talk to us. The x-rays they were taking showed nothing wrong, so I asked if they had checked her for a stroke. We got nowhere regarding our inquiries as they sent her back to the home.
Back there they claimed that because she had signed a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ authorization they did NOT have to do anything. She died less than a week later.
I found out that strokes do not show up on xrays or even MRIs rifgt away because the damage shows uo over a period of time.
My mom MAY have had a stroke but there was no evidence of it....but the drug doses were too high and when we got them lowered she stopped falling down.
