The stories shared by those who have signed this petition reveal a recurring pattern of neglect that requires immediate institutional attention. I am currently compiling these experiences to present them directly to the state oversight committee.

too many things get over looked by administration including nurses when things have been reported.. even cna's are afraid to report incidents due to retalliation maybe even losing their jobs.. we as cna's are the residents ears eyes n voices but even were ignored..
My mom was at riverview on the appomattox I tried for 2 days to get them to send her to ER on the 3rd day I finally got a compassionate nurse who noticed she was sick too and called her Dr and told him she needed to go (Dr mogul would not come and check her out). She finally was sent to ER then to telemetry unit her BP was 70/40, acute kidney failure, 100% asperating at least a weak, fluid around her heart and in her lungs. Right arm was swollen for 3 weeks. She only lived 2 days in hospital.
My father is in Colonial Heights Health Care and Rehabilitation Center and he is not cared for like he should be. He sets in wet diapers all day to where it puddles up in the floor. He is a diabetic and his feet are in bad shape they never called the Doctor it's been 4 months sense he has seen the foot Dr. I had to call and go off on them Wednesday night. This is a poor run facility and they do neglect their patients.
This is my Grandmoddy and the main reason I started the petition. Sadly, she passed away on Oct 25th. There are so many left having to rely on the people in nursing homes to care for them and they still need our help. We need way more signatures than this. Please please share to get this out there and help us get the signatures needed so we can get a voice for the ones we love left that have such a small voice and aren't being heard!! Thank you and God bless!!!
I totally agree with her. I trained as a CNA and couldn't face how others would treat patients. No one listened then and its getting worse. I would be the first in line to take this on. We all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
All citizens should be taken care of properly while they are in an Assisted Living Facility! Signs of neglect should be reported immediately and the Facility should be investigated!
We need to speak up for our elderly because most of them can't do it themselves and/or are afraid to report things for fear of more harm to them. Family members can't always be there 24/7 to protect them. This is so wrong.

When you put a loved one in a facility, it's best to check in on them often. The elderly are treated like they are not human in some of these facilities. My aunt was mistreated in the Colonial Heights facility as well.
