HAPPY HALLOWEEN MERRILL GARDENS

Every day is Halloween at Merrill  Gardens !

It has been awhile since my last update on Merrill Gardens...more to come.  Just looked quickly at the DSS reports and more of the same ongoing violations.  Nothing changes...medication errors, staff hitting residents, head injuries, unexplained bruises, and more. 

Our Dad was a ward of the San Diego Public Guardian and a resident of Merrill Gardens in Oceanside, a deadly combination...but a huge money maker for the probate court, attorneys, county agencies and of course the for profit Assisted Living facilities owned by Merrill Gardens.  

Nine months after being forced into Merrill Gardens and not allowed to leave, he was dead. During the 9 months he was in and out of ER for "unwitnessed falls" , head injuries, massive bruising and lacerations (NOTE: was not on blood thinning medication), severe dehydration, and more ($350,000).  He paid $6,000 per month for this lack of care and abuse.  

Merrill Gardens did nothing.  The Public Guardian did nothing.  Laughed all the way to the bank and on to the next victim.

More to come...updates on guardianships, assisted living , Public Guardians, for profit Private guardians, etc. This is not an isolated incident, it is happening all over the USA and other countries as well.  GREED...STEALING FROM THE ELDERLY AND NOT CARING FOR THEM OR ABOUT THEM.


I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MERRILL GARDENS TO MY WORST ENEMY!
