Stories like this should discourage advanced care of family members.Instead of being horrified at my comment,please ponder it.A caring & loving family is not always the appropriate way to go because any mishap is viewed much more harshly than if the mishap occurred in a nursing home.Any issue that can be sensationalized by the media is greatly amplified when family members are involved,and the media has a huge impact on court related decisions.Elderly people die in nursing homes every day under questionable circumstances & very little ever happens to them as a result.56 is not elderly,but the need for care has no official age limit.
Sad...
Hmmm. Look up Becky A Long in MD case search. Becky vs. Chris Bonniwell. There will be a lot more to this story. Did you hear that the deceased had been sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor, because "her bed had been ruined"?
This makes me sick.
And yes, my Dad died in a nursing home. Despite my tenaciousness, nothing has come of my complaints.
I did look her up 12:46! The Chris Bonniwell was charged at one point with harassment and being a peeping tom.
Long also had a peace order out against him and others.
I'm thinking were these concerned relatives who were only attempting to check up on incapacitated Mary Bonniwell?
Chris Bonniwell was her son,
