My
parent
currently
resides
at
Quail
Run
facility.
She
has
had
nothing
but
nice
things
to
say
about
the
comfort
of
the
facility.
She
has
communicated
that
the
rooms
and
beds
are
far
more
comfortable
than
previous
facilities.
She
has
explained
how
the
food
is
also
good,
and
staff
is
kind.
However,
my
mother
has
some
very
severe
mental
health
concerns.
The
Doctors
at
this
facility,
&
at
previous
facilities
refuse
to
get
a
complete
picture
of
possible
behaviors
my
mother
conceals,
whether
out
of
embarrassment
&/or
unwillingness/unable
to
communicate
the
reality
of
her
long
term
illness.
I’ve
been
begging
for
them
to
just
reach
out
to
multiple
family
members
&
close
friends,
that
know
patient
best.
I’ve
not
asked
for
info
on
my
mothers
progress
or
Social
Work’s
conversations
with
her,
just
want
to
express
concerns
in
the
most
constructive
way.
Im
being
denied
any
voice,
as
is
my
family.
Insight
can
be
taken
any
way
staff
desires,
but
insight
can
save
lives
and
documentation
of
possible
concerns
may
make
sense,
especially
when
so
much
aligns
amongst
adult
children,
husbands,
and
patients
personal
friends.
When
someone
is
in
&
out
of
Behavioral
Health
facilities,
&
family
trying
to
support
is
available,
why
continue
to
take
only
the
patients
word?
This
is
leading
all
facilities
to
continue
to
prescribe
meds
that
haven’t
worked
&
are
detrimental
if
diagnosed
with
illnesses
probably
not
treated.
Addicts
should
never
go
home
with
mind
altering
meds
after
abused
time
&
time
again.
This
is
causing
further
harm
to
my
elder
mother,
who
suffers
addiction
and
is
noted
as
a
big
problem
with
events
that
led
her
to
the
many
hospitalizations
in
the
last
two
years.
Lastly,
when
a
patient
is
encouraged
to
lie
to
family
on
the
phone,
it
is
very
hard
to
help
a
person
see
how
lying
hurts
others
around
them.
Last
night,
it
was
communicated
to
a
friend
that
staff
would
be
standing
by
when
my
mother
called
me,
her
daughter,
&
if
the
patient
felt
“attacked”
by
me,
going
into
emotional
state
when
answers
aren’t
what
they
seek,
it
is
put
in
motion
that
the
staff
member
tell
patient
that
there
is
a
mandatory
group
&
she
must
hang
up
now.
I’m
not
unaware
of
lies
and
felt
very
disrespected
that
even
a
facility
that
is
supposed
to
be
helping,
engages
in
activity
that
deceives
family
who
are
trying
to
help.
This
was
in
evening,
a
time
that
no
groups
are
set,
&
patient
usually
in
bed
at
this
time
(7:43
pm)
on
older
adult
unit.
This
was
also
communicated
by
patient
in
call
to
friend
directly
before
this
particular
call
to
me,
as
i
was
already
aware.
Family
will
understand
if
staff
just
gets
on
the
phone
&
doesn’t
lie
to
family
or
encourage
lying
from
patient.
This
only
encouraged
further
harm
to
family
&
patient.
I
work
close
to
BH
patients,
Social
Workers,
Nurses,
&
Psych
Doctors.
I’m
aware
of
protocol,
keeping
patients
calm,
&
phone
calls
that
may
not
go
as
well
as
planned,
usually
do
to
irritation
by
patient
currently
going
through
a
crisis.
There
was
no
need
to
lie.
Simply
say
patient
is
getting
upset
about
conversation,
whatever
reason,
we
are
going
to
stop
this
call
&
continue
it
at
another
time.
This
is
exactly
what
I
tell
patients
I’m
with
during
stressful
calls,
i
also
make
patient
and
family
aware
of
a
prompt
end
to
call
if
patient
gets
upset
for
any
reason,
as
that
the
patient
remaining
calm
is
the
hospitals
concern.
My
family,
nor
am
I
your
enemy.
We
aren’t
the
patients
enemy.
We
only
want
her
to
get
well
&
have
the
best
chance
at
succeeding
that
goal.
When
facilities
fib
to
family,
it
sends
concerning
messages
about
how
serious
the
care
their
loved
one
may
be
receiving.
Whether
it’s
meant
well
or
not.
No
reason
not
to
be
honest.
It
just
is
far
more
respectful
&
would’ve
shown
that
my
mother
is
getting
care
she
needs.
At
this
point,
after
being
deceived,
it’s
hard
to
trust.
Thank
you
&
I
really
pray
this
stuff
can
be
addressed
&
resolved,
due
to
the
dire
necessity
of
more
efficient
mental
health
facilities
&
staff
everywhere.
Hoping
for
the
best
out
of
my
concerns.
Thx
