Hi Rochelle,
I just sent an electronic check
from Bank of the West for $540, which is the amount of this bill excluding the
charges for Aug 2013 and June 2014. Per our previous conversation and my
previous emails with SLV, my mom (Bruni Dulaney) should not be charged for the
caregivers in August 2013 and June 2014.
In June/July 2013 SLV decided
that Bruni should be moved to assisted living, and once that decision was made,
ordered regular caregivers. My mother did not want those caregivers,
objected to their presence (although not to them personally, they’ve always
been very sweet), and felt this was unnecessary. You should know that
Bruni is on a very low fixed income and that it places a hardship on her to pay
these amounts. I had several conversations with Beth Hitchcock, who
assured me that “we would work something out”. At that time I had not yet
assumed responsibility for my mother’s accounts, although you may remember that
you and I exchanged emails on this a couple of months afterwards.
By June of 2014 staff became
concerned that my mother – by then living in assisted living – was in constant
danger of becoming lost or disoriented. This was largely based on an
incident the evening of May 30 2014 described by some at SLV as an elopement
and by my mother as getting confused by the construction. Among many
other issues was the idea of 24-hour caregivers; I informed SLV that was fine
but my mom could not afford that. (See my email of 6/2/2014) Out of
these concerns my mother was moved to SNF. Apparently, this period
triggered the $3956 invoice, but again these were orders that my mother did not
agree with.
All the other charges are
fine. And none of this is a complaint about the caregivers – in fact, my
mother routinely praises them (which is a rare thing). I want to be fair
and pay what she should pay, and I’m sure my mom would feel the same way
(although I try not to discuss her finances with her since it just upsets
her). Given the amount of conflicting intents surrounding these episodes,
I’m willing to draw down her bank account and split the bill for those two
months with SLV – However, it’s important to realize that she may well run out
of money in the next few years. I would appreciate knowing whom at SLV to
speak with about that.
Please let me know your
thoughts.
Thanks, RIck

Hi
Rick,
Here is the list of invoice for Bruni. We’ve received a limited number of
payments (maybe just one) since May 2013. We need to bring the account current
and have a new agreement signed by you before we can provide any service for
her.
