I am my father's caregiver with IHSS. He was taken in January to Sherman Oaks Hospital where he was kept for 3 days everything was normal. I went down to the hospital spoke with a social worker and asked her if she could help my father with a medical bed. She ignored my request and transferred him to Studio City Rehab. I am now homeless do to this and my father is unhappy .They leave me on hold for hours just to speak to my father denying him the right to speak to me. When I go to visit him, they leave me outside for 2 hours then bring him to the window. I see the staff outside in the neighborhood and none of them follow any kind if Covid rules. Yet they enforce a strict Covid guideline at the facility none of them follow. They are rude I have called and ombudsman no response. I called for a conservative ship no response. Can somebody please help! Please [personal phone number removed from public view for your online safety]
@SundaiM393727 Hi Sam, thank you for taking the time to reach out and for being there for your father to provide the best care possible. I understand that you've tried to contact an Ombudsman already, but I still wanted to provide you with the info we have that may be able to help.
