GREENSBOROUGH PRIVATE NURSING HOME OR THE NIGHTMARE ON ELDER STREET?
I am posting this item for all to see who may be contemplating a place in this Human Kennel. My advice to you is don't, as you will live to rue the day. After almost four years of trying to prosecute male nurse Richard Walpole, who engineered my mothers death because she was regarded as "verbally disruptive" I have been told that his actions were reasonable.
I can't express the extent of my rage at this finding, and to think this criminal still works in this facility is beyond comprehension. Over the last four years, I have found justice is non-exsistent when it comes to the elderly, they are an invisible generation, passed their use by date, and so not worth fighting for. I have not given up on my attempt to have this person charged and I won't, until someone listens and acknowledges that this is going on in this particular nursing home, and that this person and his staff are charged.
I had also witnessed abuse on another resident, an elderly lady in a wheel chair, who was being "disruptive" according to the so called carer, a young strapping female. She was screaming at this poor lady on the top of her voice as she slammed her full force into the wall of the room where my mother slept. I was sitting with mum in the dark whilst she fell asleep, they didn't know I was their, as all visitors had left and I stayed to settle mum as she was restless. I stood in the shadows to make sure the female staff member didn't hurt her further, but she took off up the hall threatening a male resident, giving him to the count of four or else, and this brutality took place in front of the female senior night nurse, who did absolutely nothing. She opened the nurses station door and seen me stood their, when she realised they weren't alone, she flew up the hall singing "respect" that must be the code they use to warn each other that someone other than staff is in the building. The young one come running back smoothing out the ladies tattered nightie all apologetic and pretending to care. This same lady had two black eyes a couple of weeks prior to that, no prizes for guessing where she got those, I tried to find out what happened then, but everyone pleaded ignorance and when asked they are all tight lipped. They keep the residents so heavily drugged you can't find out from them either, so they have no way of communicating or telling anyone about the abuse they are receiving at the hands of these bullies.
This is what goes on after dark and after hours in this facility and no one is interested in helping these defenseless vulnerable people. I asked the Department Of Human Services to step in and go under cover to prosecute these criminals, and the reply was, " that all is required by law is a roof over the residents heads". So you see, if you place your loved one in this facility, you do so at your own risk, as there will be no one to assist your dear mother or father when your not around.
When you first arrive, all will seem well they will even make the effort to cover up the stench of stale urine, that's to win your trust. Little by little you will notice no one is around to answer a buzzer, or take your loved one to the toilet, and if they don't eat within the required time, the tray will be removed and you will have no way of knowing if they have been fed. Next they will be sedated, (whether they need it or not) and if they are still disruptive will be physically mistreated and if this continues will be permanently silenced.
These people are a law unto themselves and having gotton off with my mothers murder, and as such will assume that what they're doing is being condoned and is acceptable in the eyes of the law. I implore you, not to subject your loved one to this terrible fate, this hell hole, do your research and consider your options.
This facility should be bulldozed and the law should prosecute those intent on carrying out this terrible behaviour. For those of you that have worked in this nursing home in the past, I ask that you come forward and tell what you know, so that no other elderly person suffers in the future. What if it was your mother that met the fate mine did, wouldn't you want justice? so do the right thing and speak out now, please!
