Q: My brother is disabled paralyzed from the chest down and diagnosed with mr he was living with may mom but my mother past
Away recently and he was hospitalized at kaiser permanente and the case worker from there helped place him in a home where they said he would be safe and he'd get the help he needs so they placed him sunday night all the way in san Bernardino county my sister went to visit him and she said its a horrible place they took $700 from him gave him illegal drugs and alcohol and I called the case worker back and she told me they can't do nothing about it because he isn't a member can they do that
A: It sounds like you need to blow the whistle on Kaiser for placing your brother in such a place. It is unconscionable that they should do so. You and your sister need to get together and decide what is best for your brother and then take the proper steps to get him and make sure he is taken care of properly. You can start by contacting the San Bernardino county welfare office and asking for a social worker to go and look in on your brother. You and your sister should be able to take care of things from there. If you need help, look for attorneys who help the disabled.
