Before we become too indignant and start bashing the President. Let's take a closer look at this whole situation because after all he is a very clever businessman.
What I have discovered with Elder care is that the facilities have been getting sued for a few decades now and with no better results. Lawsuits against facilities merely line some lawyers' pockets and give the families a little hush money but nothing changes.
Therefore suing facilities really is a waste. Nothing will ever change that way. He is right! What he has not said is that suing individuals and filing complaints against licensed professionals is the best way to go.
For instance, did you know that a medical doctor can lose his license in one state and simply go to a neighboring state and become licensed there? One has no effect on the other. Nice right?
So, we could have Doctor Kill-em-all taking care of grandma in the local nursing home and not knowing why she is lethargic and dying.
Now you should begin to see why suing facilities is in fact fruitless. We need to know who is taking care of grandma! We need to know how many felony killers are in that building. We need to stop them. Will we get a bunch of money? Probably not! But, will we get them stopped? most likely and if we are diligent we will get the joint closed down! Now folks if you want to hurt someone badly, stop their cash flow that usually does the trick.
At my speaking engagements, I tell you exactly how that is done! You have to remember this, for every vocational license, there is a disciplinary board. That means, Doctors, Nurses, CNA ( they are certified) Administrators, Directors, Attorneys, and so on.
In addition, we now have these clever facilities, that hire management companies to run their facilities thus, leaving the owners clear out of the lawsuit equation. Cute huh?
There are ways to boil these management companies in oil. Because they also have individuals. They create a large web of deceit and confusion, which the average family member cannot possibly understand. But, it is not difficult at all. remember individuals are much more vulnerable than big corporations. Plus, there are investigative reporters, county agencies, state agencies, and good old CMS where we can file complaints.
Once again at our speaking engagements, we tell you how. Never ever think you are beaten because they are a big company. They just become more vulnerable with the domino effect. Never accept their statements as culpable and never give up.
