My Father was discharged from The Westhampton Care Center on Tuesday. Now it being 3 days later, I’m still wondering why they sent him home before his Medicare time was up.  Was it because he slept with his light on and 3 other patients left his room because it bothered them? Was it because I questioned every little thing and was on top of everything going on? Was it because he was really 100% ready to come home? I’m not leaning towrds agreeing with the latter.  On 4th of July I had to call and question the D.O.N. – not my idea of fun. Of course since it’s a holiday no one can get back to me until Monday. I’m hoping that all the conversations I will be having on Monday will not result in me having to call the NY State Nursing Home complaint line, not that they are a stranger to me. Calling them last year because of my Mother and Father and the conditions and treatment they received at The Hamptons Center in Southampton, NY accomplished everything I wanted it to UNTIL my Mother passed away last July and NY State dropped the ball. Surprised? I’m not. Nursing homes not only in NY but in all other states get away with murder. LITERALLY!  I will attempt to remain calm ( yeah, right!) and enjoy my holiday weekend and will post on Monday to let everyone know whether or not to look for me on the 11 o’clock news Monday night. Until then, Have a Great 4th of July!
