ReplyDeleteWhat about those conservators like myself who do a good job? I've fought for 15 years to keep him in his home and out of a nursing home. The nurse who abused him was like part of our family. She had such control over his mind. When he told me he was being abused I had the camera installed within 5 days and she was arrested. I will not rest until I see justice served. He can never get the time back that she took from him.
ReplyDeleteWhile this woman was enjoying being treated as a member of the conservator's family, she was cold-bloodedly and systematically torturing this gentleman. She has abused their their trust and besmirched the name of nurses She's beyond reprehenisble and I sincerely hope the US court system is better that here in the UK. She should be locked up for life.
