Sometimes to avoid sending an elder loved one to a nursing home, families opt instead for an assisted living facility. These facilities typically offer less medical care and more independence than nursing homes. But that means they also don’t face as many regulations. Assisted living can cost $4-5,000 per month. With prices that high, and our loved ones’ safety on the line, it’s important we ask tough questions. Questions like: When our loved ones enter an assisted living facility, what services are they really getting? Are they getting the medical attention they need? Is the staff prepared to help when a resident feels confused or alienated? In late July, Frontline and ProPublica released a video on the findings of an
I’m a credit card getting ready for Black Friday I’ve been dreading this weekend all year long. Being the credit card I am, I know what this weekend brings. All year long, my owner only used me for gas and emergencies. That’s my passion – I love to help out when needed, but “needed” seems to be a loosely-used term nowadays. But with the holidays here and Black Friday looming, I know I’m about to be abused. I saw this all go down last year. I stayed tucked into my favorite wallet slot the majority of the time. My owner pulled me out once a week so that I could give some credit to the gas pump. There were a

By: Darrell Castle “I absolutely think their actions put the residents in jeopardy,” said Yolana Terrell. Terrell is a nurse who worked at Poplar Point Health and Rehabilitation and she’s talking about the nursing home and its residents. She’s since been fired after reporting a serious problem at the facility. Terrell reported another nurse who didn’t have her nursing license and falsified documents. The unlicensed nurse scared patients too, according to Terrell. This opened up investigations into the facility, which uncovered MORE problems — problems with nursing care, sanitation and roaches. In fact, a federal Department of Heath inspection report found over 15 violations that “compromise elderly patients’ care.” Click here to read more about those violations. What A Personal
Have you been injured in a car accident and wondering how long it will take to reach a settlement if you file a lawsuit? Well, the saying “it depends” may never be as true as it is in this situation. For the quickest results, there must be two qualifications: There must be no question on who caused the accident The person who caused the accident must have insurance. If those two qualifications are in place, then negotiations would begin after the injured person has finished their treatment. You can’t begin to talk about a settlement until all treatment has been completed as the cost of treatment will serve as a basis for compensation recovered. At Darrell Castle &
American Airlines has a big problem. They can’t seem to get the seats in their planes to attach and stay put. Loose rows of seats on at least 3 planes caused the airline to ground 48 flights and cancel an additional 94 flights earlier this month. While loose seats on an airplane could cause serious injury and even death, thankfully at this point no one has been seriously hurt. The malfunction appears to be happening on Boeing 757s but American is also taking precautionary measures on Boeing 767s. Out of what they consider an abundance of caution, the airline has announced plans to add a secondary locking mechanism to 49 out of their 58 Boeing 767-300 planes. The incident has
The Commercial Appeal recently reported that large numbers of Tennesseans have lost their employer-provided health insurance in the last decade. No surprise, really. The struggling economy has affected most walks of life, including health care. But for some people losing their health insurance might be the last straw. If you have an imperfect medical history, are over a certain age, or have multiple family members to care for, losing your health insurance can be financially devastating. If on top of that you have bills you can’t pay, you may want to consider bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can help to relieve you of your debt burdens so that more money is freed up to pay for private health insurance. In addition, if you
Losing your job due to medical malpractice By: Darrell Castle An opera singer has lost her job at the Nashville Opera Company in Nashville, Tennessee. Amy Herbst has filed a lawsuit against Fort Campbell’s Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. She claims the episiotomy she received while giving birth to her child last year caused her to lose control of her flatulence, and sometimes, bowel movements. As an opera singer, this has serious ramifications for her career. An episiotomy is a planned surgical procedure in which the tissue between the anus and the vagina is cut to aid in the delivery of the baby. The wound did not heal properly. “She is suffering through a very embarrassing and very significant injury, and
