The usual run around. No help at all. Shame on you State or RI

VERY rude, bad attitude. Told me HIPAA laws prevented her from telling me or anyone anything. So why do you have this office anyway? I'd give her a half star for being alive, but that wasn't an option.

I have contacted this agency numerous times about the safety, manipulation & isolation of an elderly person. One of the agents told me “pretend that she’s dead & move on with your life”. Just like every other state run agency in RI! What’s the sense of reporting when nothing is done?

My aunt is 87 and lives on her own in Pawtucket. She is pretty independent but recently has had some health issues like falling. Is there a service that can check in on her, put her trash out, do her laundry?

what is a md

I'm 67 living at Ethan Place in Warwiick. Although I've had ESBL for many years they have just decided I need to be evicted. It is not on my skin or in the air. I've never infected anyone. Can someone please help me? I've lived here for 4 years.

You need a lawyer.

My mother and father live in the middle of the woods with no running water or electricity. My father is in his 70s and my mother is in her 50s but has bipolar disorder and has schizophrenia, can I have them placed somewhere? I am desperate

My mom is sick with dementia I have the forms DHS-2 I was wondering if they would come to my home and help me fill the forms out . She has Medicare but now needs medicaid.

I filled out All the nesscery paper work. Mailed certified 3 times and went in person and got them scanned . Still after 6 months not and no one came to my home to assist it so my mom could get Long Term healthcare at home. Been over 6 months. My rating for them is now no rating before I gave a 5 star I wouldn't give them nothing. That department is so screwed up I wouldn't count on them

My mom has dimenchai and is very violent she's constantly hitting us,her shrink says he can't do anything,we need to have her committed but don't know how to. Also she shouldn't be driving anymore and won't listen to us.

I believe you need to go through the court system. Look for forms online. Have her primary care Or psychiatrist Dr provide you with her medical diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s share your concerns about her driving to her Drs. Do not let her drive. Take her keys away

Hi. I'm 57, my mom is 85, I also want to be the one to take of her. Are you her caregiver? Do you get paid to take care of mom? I believe there's a way.
