On Health care center accepting fewer Medicaid residents
Posted on December 17 at 10:45 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
It's all about the money with the elderly---so where do these patients go that are going to be kicked out of their long-term car facility? I believe that there should be more shortterm care beds-then you have to supply and rehab agency to do thereapy for Medicare patients.....where do the other Medicaid patients go? That's where there is "County" facilities and private facilities.......you have to take care of your elderly in the community by supplying a county facility.......

I have lots to comment on......Not only is Heather my sister in law and has this disorder my my youngest sister Pamela Ambach of Elkhorn has this disorder. Heather is correct in saying every case is different. Heather strong desire to get on with life and seek the best medical attention is a blessing-my sister had one surgery on her neck and head and has continued through life with pain, disorders of many all related to this, it has been devestating for our family to watch her decline over the years she is 36 years old and one would think she was in her 50's. If more people knew the devestating impact of this disorder and how it not only effects the person but their loved ones everyone would be at this benefit to support Heather, the healing after this next surgery will be long and hopeful successful I AM PRAYING FOR YOU HEATHER
On Staskal to be released to group home in Eau Claire

Why after 28 years are they thinking he is ready to be released? Obviously for 28 years there was a reason he was at Mendota. I have worked with mental illness patients that have been housed in Mendota before, death of their own children and were released into Nursing homes. If i were the residential home taking this man in I would also consider spending the money for a top notch security system, no one goes out or comes in with buzzers going off. Even on medication mental illness patients tend to relapse, who pays the price if something happens to one of the other residents? The caregivers? The people I have taken care of were sketchy, you never knew when they would fly off the handle. That was people on major Psyc. drugs so don't tell me that this man is OK to be released after 28 years or confinement, lock down-Mendota is a serious place, hope the community knows what they are doing, hope that no one gets hurt. Granted he was not convicted of murder due to mental illness-hey guess what if you are mentally sane and murder what is the sentence? Life in prison? Death penalty-if he is sane now why not retry the case? Why not give him the same as a common criminal? Life in Mendota...He did murder someone, we all know it and the proof was there, so what the hell makes him any better than any other murderer? Oh i get it he was sick at the time-big deal if that is the case i bet there are some real winners out there right now knowing all they have to do is prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are insane and they will only do 28 years in a physc place, get drugs, and then live on the outside world in a group home for the rest of their days VS prison. hummmmmmmmm what do the rest of you think about that? Look at his face and the reaction "a smile" when they say he wasn't convicted of murder.....HE KNOWS!!!!!!
I feel bad for the parents-God rest their daughter's soul-not anymore....

There are 19-20 points in ear ear that they laser and 3 points on your hand, one on your knee, and one on your foot. I have smoked for 20 years and I haven't smoked in 4 days now and every gets better and better...........It is worth it. I went to the place in Janesville and they made my 7 yr daughter a part of the procedure and involved her with counting the points of laser....I was amazed!!!!!
