Not much to report other than:
1. Health Department contacted me via phone and stated that Shady Pines is NOW in compliance--and I guess I don't have any other recourse through the Health Department.
2. Joint Commission contacted me via email and stated that Shady Pines didn't get their accreditation through them--so there's no recourse through them.
3. I am still waiting to hear back from CAR-F.
My sister is now to the point where she doesn't want to talk about mom, and while I do understand it, this also means unless she (and our brother) choose to participate, the idea of me seeking any kind of damages from Shady Pines for an untimely death etc, will be an uphill battle, and I don't have it in me to go through this if I have to fight with them regarding it.
I have set a Google alert for the name of Shady Pines + class action law suit hoping that at some point, at least two of the 30 impacted families (at last count) will take the initiative to initiate a class action law suit--unlikely as it may be.
Lodging complaints won't bring mom back. A class action lawsuit won't bring her back either; however, a class action law suit would be a very very dilute bit of justice: justice from Shady Pines for their negligence; and justice regarding getting some kind of restitution for my parents' thievery. It's more than a bit ghoulish to think of restitution, and perhaps what also keeps me from acting on the impulse to try to sue is appearing as if I were trying to exploit mom's death for my financial gain.
