My husband has been in a skilled nursing facility for 5 months now because his family called APS on me to say I was neglecting him. He’s battling multiple sclerosis and I have been doing the best I can to take care of him because I love him. All the allegations are untrue and I haven’t even been given a chance to defend myself. My husband tells me he wants to come home every time I talk to him and I feel helpless because I can’t do anything about it. He knows I’ve never mistreated him that’s why he wants to come back home... he’s been trying to leave the facility on his own but he can’t walk so they always have to force him back in the bed. Is there anything we can do?
I’ve never gotten anything from aps they haven’t even been to my house. My husband has been in that facility since January 31st. His sister was the one talking to his doctor without me and they decided to put him in the facility. Once he was there his family called aps on me. I don’t even know what I’m being accused of because no one will talk to me. I was having trouble feeding my husband because he was suffering with swallowing problems and it was causing him to lose a lot of weight. Each and every appointment I talked to his doctor and told his doctor how bad it was getting to feed him and to keep weight on him. So I can understand his family being concerned even being mad about that but I had been trying to get him help. I kept his doctors informed on every single change my husband was going through and I really thought I was doing the right thing. I feel like public enemy number one now and I was doing the best I could. My husband even told them he wasn’t being mistreated or neglected. I feel so horrible
