I ran across this movie yesterday, and while some nursing homes do music therapy with the residents it is my experience that not enough is being done. We turn to drugs over human interaction and bringing music and singing to the lives of elders and the disableds.
Watch the movie on Netflix or Amazon and be inspired today.

ADVOCACY ALERT: Tell Congress to Support Elder Justice! |
Last night, the FY15 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, H.R. 83, was released. It includes $4 million for the Elder Justice Initiative, which would be the first direct congressional appropriation for the Elder Justice Act after your four years of hard work. In other words, H.R. 83 represents a breakthrough in the long-stalled effort to fund the Elder Justice Act. This $4 million would provide competitive grants to states to test and evaluate innovative approaches to preventing and responding to elder abuse. However, the larger omnibus bill has to pass before the Elder Justice Initiative can be funded. Contact your members of Congress today to urge them to support elder justice by supporting H.R. 83!… |

Please help this woman if you can
Dear Congresswoman Susan Brooks C/O Catherine Watkins,
Future Choices Inc. Guardians over my mother Mildred Barber have REFUSED to care for Mildred from the onset of being awarded the guardianship by a CORRUPT JUDGE HAAS!

SANDRA BLACK AND THE FAMILY OF MILDRED BARBER ARE TOTALLY 100% SHUT OUT OF VISITATION WITHOUT ABUSE AS OF NOVEMBER 28TH.

Note below the comments that were removed. I want every to note that none of the comments contained ANY profanity, ANY disrespectful or ridiculous comments. Everyone posted something logical, true and what should be protected by the First Amendment.
Now I predicted that Jerome Larkin of the ARDC would call up someone at the ABA and tell them you had better not publish anything that supports Ms. Denison, Mr. Ditkowsky, Mr. Amu and for sure do NOT let the family post anything that they were treated by the Tribunal in a disrespectful manner, ignored and further abused.
I WAS RIGHT–SHAMEFULLY RIGHT.
But here’s what I did. I SAVED THE COMMENTS ON SUNDAY NIGHT so we still have them. Yup that’s right. And guess what, now that the 7th circuit has said in MY decision that it was okay for the ARDC and their puppet goons Nextpoint to copy and republish…

raises a whole lot of hair raising questions. As we have all seen from this blog, elders have a (financial) value to many guardians and court connected personnel. At first, they are targeted with false financial surveys at hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, “visiting nurses”–any forum to find a target and you will often find a nursing home, hospital, probate court connected attorney or GAL behind it, plus the litany of “professional” leeches and parasites. (Anti) social workers that bills but never show up (LVL case), case (mis) managers that do the same, fake reports of “agitation” of a ward requiring supervised visitation at $100+ an hour from a $10/hour employee that is glued to a cell phone the entire time, tweeting, emailing or whatever.
But when the money runs out, watch out. That means the ultimate demise or assisted involuntary suicide for the elder. The nursing homes and…

In re Lorraine Phillips.
Words cannot describe. While I go to court to beg for a few more dollars for Mom and a 24/7 caretaker son who are living below the poverty level (yes, the judge even looked it up right on her desk) Atty David Martin and his client are arguing that these two should not get another dime.
Estate bank account–$143k. Income is now $25k per month, with $15k per month in expenses for a valuable piece of property in downtown Chicago.
Today the son told the court he qualified for food stamps. Then we all asked him to decrease his monthly allotment from social security (he is under age 65) to get social security for him and his mother.
Judge wouldn’t budge one dime. The GAL said he agreed an increase was in order, but he didn’t know how much an upcoming balloon payment on the loan…
