IS OMNICARE,INC TRYING TO BULLY AN 82 YEAR OLD WIDOW?

Let's say your grandmother, or shudder, even your Mom is in a Nursing Home for a short time. At some point, the Medicare runs out, and they want to kick her out. The problem is, her 88 year old husband is still there, , very, very ill, and she is afraid to leave him alone. She is approached with the notion that if she pays 110 dollars a day, she will be allowed to stay at the Nursing Home, basically renting the bed next to her critically ill husband. She agrees to pay 110 dollars a day, and pays that, even though, they have no license to act as a hotel or motel from the city.She understands she has been released as a patient now, and is just paying for the bed space and ability to be able to watch over her very ill husband.


While she is shelling out the 110 a day, they are shoveling drugs at her, and since Medicare has paid for the "meds" before, she believes they are still paying. In fact, nursing home people assure her that all she is owing for this time, is the 110 a day. Later, when the situation comes up again, she offers to pay the old 110 dollars a day , or even more, and suddenly, she is told by a nursing home staff that they will not, cannot do that again, because it is illegal .


Well, her husband is about to leave the nursing home, seems he is doing a bit better, and as she has his clothes in the car and packed, he goes into extremis, is taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, and although there are emergency steps that CAN be taken, his attending physician will not allow anything to be done because of a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate ) order from 1995.
She is forced to watch her poor 88 year old husband die , his eyes begging her to help, but the hospital will not let her help, they just stand by, allowing him to die.


After this, you sell your home and move, move hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
You begin getting bills from some pharmacy CLAIMING you owe them 300 plus dollars. You ask them via a special directive to deal only with your son, and tell them you do not owe this.
The next thing you know, they turn this matter over, this mere 300 dollars or so, over to a lawyer for collections.


They sic a LAWYER on a grieving 82 year old widow for 300 or so dollars. KNOW WHO actually DOES this?OMNICARE INC. seems to. More on this as this develops.

Omnicare likes to hassle 82 year old widows I guess.
