My wife was transferred from a nursing center in Manteca, CA to Stockton, CA without my knowledge for over 5 weeks. I didn't know where my wife was and after she was transferred the nursing center where she is now put her on lock down preventing her from calling me. Both nursing centers had my phone number. This caused emotional distress on us both. When I asked questions why I was ignored, I tried to consult with 5 attorneys already which all have denied help. I feel these nursing centers need to pay for what they did to my wife and I.
Unless they have explicit instructions to inform you of her condition, or ask your permission for any new treatments, or why and where they are transferring her, then they are not obligated to contact you.
If 5 attorneys have agreed that they can not help you, I think you have to let it go.
Did the State take over your wifes care? If so, she now has a guardian who is in charge of her care. Instead of hiring a lawyer to sue the facility, hire someone to find out what is going on. Why weren't you notified. You need answers why you were being kept away.
Is her Social Security still being sent to your accounts? If not, the State has probably been put in charge of her care.
Adult Protection Services may be able to help you find answers.
Something seems fishy here and not quite right, and I'm guessing because you're not telling us the whole truth, so why don't you back up and tell us the whole true story of what actually went down, and why.
